Oh Yeah and a REMIX Strip…or UN STRIP as I like to call it…
I am going to try to do one for the floor challenge…you start in next to nothing and get dressed instead of stripping lol
-
I always loved blind folded (of course you need someone around to make sure you don’t walk/crawl into things lol) and hands tied together is always fun…both REALLY make you move in different ways https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

She might surprise you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif you never know.
I think it’s hard to view our parents as whole beings who have lives outside of us lol…but hopefully they can see what a cool, fit, special mom they have and be supportive towards your choices.

It’s a huge start… hopefully she will come around – parents are tricky you never know what to expect https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Makes me realize how lucky I am – my Mom thinks its cool. My Mom is pretty cool but sometimes it’s a little disconcerting…like when she saw my pin up photo’s in the guest bath and said to my husband and I "that’s cool…very sexy and tasteful – maybe I could do that – honey can you set up a session" UGGGG my husbands head snapped up SO fast from his book LOL – I don’t think he needed a picture in his head of my mom in a corset and a g string LOL…your parents aren’t supposed to be sexual…obviously we know they are – but blech call me a prude but I don’t really a visual…
And I think that lots of parents probably feel the same way about their babies. For the Father’s it’s the thought of their daughters being watched by men the way they they might watch other women pole dancing and for the Mom’s it’s the loss of their baby girl…they are women now. Just my theory at least https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Yet my Mom is quite impressed that *at my age* I can still flip upside down and stuff and that’s pretty cool of her. She did however point out that "Honey – if you can do this NOW* WHY did you suck at bars so much as a gymnast???" She didn’t actually say suck…but I know that’s what she meant lol.
She’s right I did! I HATED bars with a passion…honestly if I could have worn cute ruffle butts during bars I might have liked it a tiny bit more… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I usually say…"actually I have 2 stripper poles" the people who are going to be weird about it are gonna be weird…the ones that aren’t usually want to spin on it lol…I’m not making any excuses for it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Great photos Amy!

So glad they took the video down!

I have my routine where I moisturise daily. My pole classes tend to be early evenings which by then the moisturiser has soaked up, though I’m more concerned with when you’re performing any floor work, the unslightly dry patches on the knees creep up not a very pretty sight! But I guess its something I will have to deal with.
Thanks for all your replies though x
seriously right before you perform a quick wipe down with water will hold the ashy-ness off for long enough to dance https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Glitter sorry that you have had to go through this and glad to hear that your doctor didn’t see anything alarming…also thanks for sharing because by doing so you hopefully have helped others as well!

Maybe it’s sad, but…. I’ve stared this thread down and read it almost every single day when it was posted, I’ve seen what everyone else has said, I think it’s a great idea, and I’m in the best shape of my life, but I still can’t think of anything to put here. There’s nothing about me or my body that I love enough to state it that way. You girls are lucky to even be able to find something, lucky that you think of yourselves that way.
Maybe someday.
Romance, I’ll say having just looked at your profile pictures you have Plenty to love…. you have a beautiful smile, big blue eyes, a great body that holds a pole sit long enough to take a picture… that’s something to love!Seriously Ploedanceromance you have a body most would kill for and a sparkling smile that screams sexy – kind – fun – and approachable – NOT an easy combination to pull off I might add https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

The purple outfit they made for me at pole superstars, all it was is a purple victorias secret bra with stones glued on it, i had to double stick tape it everywhere cause for inverted moves NOTHING was holding back https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I also am an artist and do painting and designing, so I can design the clothes and i have lots of ideas, I just cant sew or get though how to fabricate the ideas.
I was thinking a combo of clothes from this site
http://www.dancewearsolutions.com
but fit for the poleoh my GOD!!! I have been looking for fringed hot pants for the longest time and this web site has them – HOT!!!
YAY!!!! Thanks

Now I know that oil and moisturisers are a big no no for pole dancing for obvious reasons. However being a woman of colour coco butter is a necessity for me! I would eventually like to be able to "perform" in front of friends but it’s not very sexy when you have ashy knees and patches of dry skin on your body!
Any tips??
yup…I feel your pain https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif If you figure it out please let me know lol…honestly I just wipe down my knees and elbows with some water before hand to kill the ash and then lotion up the moment I am off the pole.
-
uggg…I really need to try to catch up to some of these challenges…if only for myself lol…plus I have a GREAT song for this https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif
-
Not sure if this falls under *true* country…but kinda cuntry alternative/folksy…
The Story by Brandi Carlile is a great song to dance to https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

…also 5 times a week may initially be a bit much…your muscles may need a little time to recoup https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
-
yup Amy I agree https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

my friend recommended this book to me…have you seen it? I figured I would check it out.
Aerial Dance …..and it comes with a dvd of performances as well…
-
haha…I wish my ceilings were high…
no they are only 12 ft high so I am doing what I can with the aerial yoga
this is where I ordered my fabric from http://www.aerialfabric.com/fabric.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I got Turquoise – it’s a bit darker than their photo and much bolder, the pic doesn’t do the colour justice – I am in love!
(we haven’t even bothered with the silks yet…the ceilings are not so high so its more about perfecting certain moves and wraps then anything with height)
The aerial hammock hangs from two points bolted into our load bearing beam, the basic set up is this: two carabiners are attached to the ceiling mount hooks. Heavy duty daisy chains hang from the carabiners. Each end of the fabric is wraped around a Rescue-8, then the Rescue 8 is attached to a carabiner, the carabiner attached to a swivel the swivel attached to another carabiner which is in turn cliped on to the daisy chain…does that make senses https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif lol ???
This web site has the basic pic of my rigging – the center pic
http://community.simplycircus.com/pdf/aerial_fabrics_faq_v1.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
my rigging is just from two points vs one…also I am using a daisy chain not a span set.

ohhhh I am super jealous https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif good for you – you will have a BLAST…I just got an aerial yoga hammock and aerial silks for my house…and I was seriously thinking about a lyra as well but I barely have enough time for the other stuff LOL
-

There are so many great and different versions of pole *dancing* or just pole or whatever we want to call it. So many people have their opinions and strong opinions at that (just look at us on this site https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif ) of what pole dancing is – or what it should be.
I would like to truly believe that lots just don’t realize there are other styles…and yes that is ignorant on their part but I guess it’s our job now to educate people lol. I can honestly say before I actually became interested in pole dancing I only knew of Strip and Chinese but never knew about the fitness style https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
This is what I love about pole dancing. I think that’s the beauty of the whole thing – everyone can take their version – their interpretation – whether it’s sensual, sport, Chinese, shoes no shoes etc and make it their own. There’s something for everyone.
However I also think the same reason I love it…for it’s various faces, diversity and styles makes it really hard to try to *standardize* it. I am still not sold that I want to see it in the Olympics as I feel the dance aspect and personal aspect which are important to me, might get watered down – but that’s just my feelings…Unfortunately I think until there is some sort of serious standardization the whole Olympics push is really far off.
