So I have just finished my first batch of buttons and am wondering if I should make more. Let me know if you are interested in one (or 3) so I can figure out if I need to hit the craft store again!e
Getting crafty!I’m assuming some kind of pole-related label type button? I’ll take one! What’s it look like or is it a surprise? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Veena-luckily this topic made me aware that there was a different way. Even if it was taught on a good DVD and it does work, I’m all for doing it a different way if its better. Just another great thing about forums. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Personally, the fish roll scares me. lol Any move where I can hurt my neck if not done right scares me. If your teaching regular people for first time, you may have some reluctant people or they may do it anyway. They could easily get hurt, and that could cost you the interview! If its for showing off, go for it! Just my opinion. Good luck by the way!

Veena-I use it for chair and carousal. See spin reel video. I learned it using Vertical Dance DVDs. I may switch now, though I find it harder with half-bracket.

I marked my calendar! I can’t wait.

Oh I can’t wait! I’m marking my calendar now. So excited!!! It will totally be worth the drive. Yay!!!!
-
I’m glad you brought this topic up. I learned the chair using full bracket, which I personally found easier, but after reading this I may switch to half bracket! Is there any other moves that would be better done using half bracket vs. full?

I’ve seen at least 20 pole dvds. My favorites are Vertical Dance, Art of Pole, and Leigh Ann’s. I feel the others DVDs are ok but these 3 are must haves.
Veritcal Dance- is a great one for beginners and covers lots of spins AOP doesnt have. Even though I had AOP I preferred this one to start with.
AOP- covers everything up to advance and is very detailed. Safety as well. The warm ups and body conditioning are excellent and change as you progress, as I think they should. It covers spotting as well.
Leign Ann- while not the best with instructions is good for learning how to dance and put moves together. I personally love her style so that may be another reason I like them.
Hope that helps. If have any questions about them, let me know.

How fun! My husband and I love Halloween (our first date) and zombies! You did a good job.

Check out these classes!

The owner of the studio is on SV as well. She been pole dancing for over 7 years. She has lots of unique classes and even really advanced classes compared to most. She is passionate about pole and is really helpful. I’d suggest her in a heartbeat. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Late June on a Saturday sounds good to me. Any club will work. Grippy pole seems like a plus even if its plastic though. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Sold and shipped. Thanks for looking.

I’ve been meaning to visit that area just b/c I’ve never been. Sounds like I have a good reason now. I can’t wait to hear more details.

chemgoddess1-You are well rounded when it comes to fitness! Maybe the splits section could be added as your cool down? That way your already warmed up (which is best for stretching) and you will still be working out same amount of time vs. adding another thing to do.
-
chemgoddess1- Sounds like a good goal! You have over 20 years to get the splits right? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I’m sure you’ll get it sooner than that. I remember seeing a thread on here about achieving the splits and I saw one about getting it in 6 weeks, though who knows if that is possible.

poleophile- Your probably right, I should just get a mat instead of waiting.
Veena- It is a matter of mind, b/c I can invert with a spotter. Spotter lets go and I freak slightly. lol I tried using visualization last night and it did help. I got a move finally!(not invert yet though) It didn’t work magically of course, but I’ll be adding it to my "toolkit." Maybe I’ll start dreaming about it more too! Visualization on autopilot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I can do it, I just got to keep at it !!!
chemgoddess1- Thanks for invert advice. I can hold myself up as you suggested, so I’ll just start tilting by myself as well. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I will get it !!!

poleophile- That’s a great idea! I think your right about the straw. In restaurants I seem to drink more, now that I think about it. Now to remember to get the drink…I’ll probably have to go back to the alarm idea on my cell. lol

I am a camel… I am never thirsty. I hardly drink anything and half time I steal sips from husbands drink. If its not in front of me, it never occurs to me I should drink something. I average maybe a tall glass of water a day. I tried drinking 4oz bottles and set alarm to drink a bottle to get a total amount, but I only stuck with that for a few weeks. I only drink juice, water, and ice tea.
Anybody know a good way to get yourself to drink things? I cant "chug" for the life of me, I sip. Writing this makes me feel silly, but its true. I KNOW I need to drink more. Suggestions?

Hey cricket. I sent you a PM about the Dayton show. Maybe we could meet up. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

The above post was the update on my original goals. Below is my new goals.
I’ve been struggling with motivation lately. I’m going to keep it simple this time and not come up with an elaborate list! I’ll use rewards this time!
Goal 1: Get the invert on my own.
How: Have my husband help me once a week. Practice from floor when by myself.
Timeline: Before next pole jam.
Reward: If I can achieve invert by self and get another inverted move, I will purchase a pole mat. Bonus: maybe a pic of me inverting at the next jam. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifGoal 2: Quit being chicken. I’m a very cautious person and don’t like the idea of injury. For example, I’m one to read manuals before using things, and I wear earplugs/safety glasses when I mow. (My friend actually injured her eye…right after she got lasik!) It also doesn’t help I am sensitive to pain in general-get migraines etc all the time.
How: Bought cream for bruises, use it. Get mat, must get Goal 1.
Suggestions please? I need help with this one.
Timeline: It will probably be ongoing.
Reward: New moves, quicker maybe?Motivation Helpers:
Put up pole pics from our jam in pole room (inspiration and seeing fellow polers.)
Organize pole closet (clothes inspire me sometimes)
Find new music
Get a fan
Anything else that can help motivate?
