Hey guys I’m I chrome lover…..I feel if you can dance on what some consider "difficult" pole…like a chrome or 50mm than you will be able to dance on ANY type of pole. The biggest issues I feel as far as grip goes…….. body temperature and pole temperature and humidity. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
My first pole was a Platinum Stages stainless steel… not my grip preference but once I was warm and the pole finally warmed it was usable. When winter came around it was darn near impossible to use because my pole room was cooler and the air was dry. Once I moved up to a Chrome X the grip was so much better! Both in the summer and winter. I still love the grip of the Chrome X and I know Tara Karina has both the TG and Chrome X and she has told me the difference isn’t huge and she will probably go back to her Chrome when she’s able to put her pole up again. I look at the TG as a fun splurge for a pole dancer….its gold so its different looking but I’m just so happy with the chrome I have no desire to switch to a TG.

Your ceiling wont be a problem I’ve had my X on that type of ceiling….I didn’t even have any little pieces fall of but it could happen. It’s not a big deal though.
Shoes can help with learning to pole climb BUTI recommended learning any new moves without shoes just to avoid an ankle/foot injury if you fall. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif My favorite shoes are ellie but they seem to be narrow. Which is why I like them I have "ski’s for feet" LOL narrow and flat!! I buy my shoes off Amazon and depending on the company you can usually return them if they are the wrong fit. Remember they don’t sell half sizes. I choose to size down because they tend to stretch over time.
Now for the grip aids… I never use it….but for dancers with clammy sweaty hands it could be a real help when your learning. DON’T USE GRIP AIDS FOR SPINS!! It will tear up your hands. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Clean your pole very well after using the grip aids because they really gunk it up.
I hope you enjoy this new fabulous art.

Nice job jeng!! A lot of dancers find the cross Ankle to be a little more intimidating…..but less painful. The trick to a good solid CAR is getting the pole to rest on more than just one part of your thighs. A lot of dancers think you just grip with only the upper part of the thigh but to feel really secure in this move you need to position the pole along the whole inner thigh down to above the knee. In my lessons…I like to teach both the CAR and CNR from the floor first to get proper positioning without the fear of falling then move up a bit higher. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Titanium x-pole are in either silver or gold.
Wait a minute!! Just to avoid confusion. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif X pole has 2 options as far as finishes go. Titanium which is gold coated. Chrome is silver in color. There is not a silver titanium pole…..at least not that we can get in the US. Do you really have a silver Titanium pole Rouge???IF you do I want to know why we don’t have that option here! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif Oh now I’m really curious let me know Rouge https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif -

first of all..I don’t think your arms look funny. But if you do want some ideas I would use the arm movements you would be using when you belly dance. I think that would be a great addition. You have the belly dance skills so really incorporate them!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Let me see if I can explain it….Is kinda like a mini forum and blog in one. Everyone has a profile and you can "follow" people you like or find interesting. You write and receive micro thoughts and updates.I’m not sure if that makes sense but its kinda fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

Try taking down and put it back up first…if that doesn’t change anything then I would call them their customer service very good…they should be able to help you. They X pole has a very smooth spin.

Sounds like you may have over tightened your X pole… If you over tighten this can happen. Try readjusting it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
