Just cancel before you subscription is up and you will not be charged again….but most people end up realizing they don't want to stop.
You wont find a better deal then SV for hours and hours of lessons. You don't have to worry about what to do first…I tell you. You'll get conditioning exercises to help you avoid injury and routines along with stretching lessons and the new foam roller lessons are about to be posted. And you can ask me questions on any of the lessons and I'll reply back. Here are some free sample lessons incase you guys have missed them.

My advice…. you can never go wrong by starting with building strength first. Also proper progression when learning moves is important for growth, if you learn the basics wrong then everything else will be much harder. This is why I set up my lessons in an order of progression that builds strength first then teaches you moves that build on one another. Be safe. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif

I was in no way saying a showcase should be free!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I don't think anyone else on this thread meant that either. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
People rarely appreciate what it takes to put on any kind of event and unfortunately this it just how it is. Charley has done an amazing job and this is why we support her even if I can't make it to a showcase. We need to stop focusing on what others are saying about an event whether its a comp or a show. People bad mouth and get bitchy. You will never get everyone to understand how much work you put into something….I know this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Let's not waste energy on things we can't change, (like other ppl)…. But rather use our energy to continue to bring pole to new people. As I told Charley in chat, many of the people in this world that make the biggest difference are also the ones who are acknowledged the least……..

This has been something I have been thinking about a lot lately Charley! I would love with all my heart to perform and to have a place where pole dancers could showcase their talents without having to go to the strip clubs for armature nights. I think the showcase concepts are so fun but like with other sports and fine art, people pay more for professional level shows. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
I finally saw my first completion and honestly, I though I would have wished it had been me up there. BUT I didn't! I realize now, that is not the kind of lifestyle I want right now. I don't have time to train as much as I would like to compete at that level. I have no desire to travel the world doing workshops leaving my kids behind. I missed them so much while I was away in NY! I can travel when they are older. I wish there were more opportunities in the Midwest area….
Anyway….I think completions are great and necessary for pole to continue to grow! I hope to see more comps too! All I know…. for me, if I could have a place where I could perform I would be in heaven! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I also teach you to lead with the hips….. using an entry from the chair position will not give you as much stretch around the pole and you'll end up with your back touching the pole and slowing you down. But the chair can be a good starting point. I demonstrate both entries here. For those taking the lessons. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/15f92884-b909-11df-856f-001b214581be

Have you checked to make sure your keeping the chest lifted before you begin the move? Not only does this help you engaged the scapula, it will keep the pole off the back and on the upper trap. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

LOL I have to admit, I have bashed to poor kitty. I was messing around with elbowstands and was not thinking…..was not cool, not cool at all. "Sorry honey no sex tonight cuz I smashed my vajayjay on the pole!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
