And yet ANOTHER reason why i dont watch the news….
Really, they couldnt find anything better to talk about than bloopers?
If they are gonna show a blooper of something (and its NOT a blooper/funniest video show) they should show the great side of it as well. That would make for a much better story I think, people actually looking really good doing that kind of stuff. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif But of course not, always got to poke fun.
I just feel bad for that poor girl. You know that hurt. I wonder if she was okay with them using her video like that? Not that she has a say anyway…. -
How exciting!!! Thats awesome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Welcome to the site! Happy to have you here. There are maybe a handful of Male pole dancers on here that you can hopefully get some tips from. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
Hope you enjoy the site https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif -
Hmm the fact that is comes in 38mm is kinda cool, although my 45mm fits my hand perfect. I cant imagine having it any smaller! lol, im interested as well to see how the reviews are for it. I know there was a vid on YouTube with Felix, Pantera & some others trying out a 38mm pole but I dont know if that is the same one? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
I love that pad on the bottom tho, does anyone know of any makers that make crash pads especially for pole use? (That I can buy without having to purchase a pole with it) At the moment Im using couch cushions or nothing…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I had an injury not long ago and was off my pole for about 3 weeks. I didnt lose any strength but i did notice it hurt a bit more than usual (as far as pole burn is concerned) cause my body had kind of stopped getting used to the feeling… but it only lasted a day or 2 and then i was back to normal. You should be alright!

Welcome!!
I even have The Art of Pole Vol 1-2. Love the way Jamilla breaks it down to me. Since I’ve just barely got started.
I have never used DVD’s as help aids, but i think i may try…. Ive been hearing lots of good things about Jamilla’s DVD’s lately, i just may have to invest!
As of the kind of pole I own. I deserve to hide in the bucket of shame. Yes, I admit embarrassingly enough I own a Peek-a-boo pole. I haven’t had any problems with it so far. It Is not drilled to my ceiling, I think the reason why it hasn’t fallen down on me yet is because I have a hardwood floor and every time its up I make sure its tightened very well. I’ve been having it for about 3 weeks and yeah.

Just kidding! Its okay, we all have to start somewhere and unfortunately a lot of us started with crap poles (myself included). But Im sure you’ve read the pole posts and know all we have to say about Peekaboo so I wont bother with all that again, just be careful https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gifHope you get lots of enjoyment out of the site! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Go to the vids section, click on your video. That will bring up at seperate page where your video plays and diplays comments and all that. The url to your video is the web address in the main Url line of your web browser. It doesnt have a .mp4 or .avi or anything like that which makes it seem like it might not be the correct link but it is!
For example this is a link to my newest video… the url will look something like this… http://www.studioveena.com/video/gallery/A-bit-of-practice-uncut- then just highlight the link by left clicking and dragging and click on the URL button under the subject line of the post (in between the font color tab and img tab). That will put on either side of your link and makes it clickable. Or you can just type that on either side. Either way works! goes before the link and goes after https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

The only thing that doesnt vary is my warm-up. I ALWAYS warm up by stretching and doing some basic spins and climbing, a few push ups and stuff like that for about a song length or 2.
After that my workout is just kind of based on how I feel. I dont like to preplan, its just more fun to get on the pole and have a great time. But if Im working on a certain move, a lot of my time will be focused on trying to get it or smooth it out. The rest of the time I spend just doing random inverts, spins, some floor work. Just kind of going where my mind/body wants to take me! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I buy the majority of my shoes from http://www.pinkstilettoshop.com. They have a great selection and well made shoes. I havent had any probs with them so far. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
They are a bit more pricy than some sites but in my opinion its worth it for the good quality.
I bought a pair of clear heels from some random site for like 30 bucks and after wearing them quite a bit the plastic has stretched out SO much that they are wobbly on my feet and i cant wear them to dance anymore. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Yay! So happy for you Sissy!!! Sounds like you had an awesome day!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Hope that pole party is loads of fun! -
Im fairly sure you cant actually embed the video (have a video screen up and watchable) in the forum but you CAN easily post the link by just copy & pasting the URL (web address) to the video here in the text box. Once you have the URL in the text box (such as this) highlight the link via left click & dragging and then click on the tab/button inbetween the subject line & the text box. That will put the html code on the sides of it.
Hope that helps!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

Technically there’s is a little different tho, their lady has a pole. Veena’s lady doesnt. Hmmm I wonder if they are aware of the similarities between theirs and Veena’s?? -
I ordered my newest pole from this site and it only took 3 days… but me and Veena live in the same state so that could’ve helped the speediness. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
Im sure it wont take very long tho. Most from what I’ve heard it takes between a week or 2 for most….
Yay for you both on getting a pole!! -

I have carpet as well but its really short… i dont know how long medium length would be in carpet talk https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
BUT what I find helps with spins and such is socks. The REALLY low cut ones that go below your ankle, they pretty much just cover your toes & heel. They help.Im pretty used to dancing in shoes tho, its still my preference although I hate trying to do quick graceful drops (into splits) in heels on my carpet. My heel always gets stuck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif
Try the sockie thingys tho, hopefully that will help you a bit! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

What I do when setting up my pole in a new room or something…. I stand on each side of the pole (4 directions… N,S,E & W) and hold onto the pole with my hand (extended arm) and extend out my leg so my body is parallel to the floor. It usually equals out to what my height is. So for me personally I like at LEAST 5 feet of space around my pole (Im 5 foot 2). That way I know when I spinning with my legs extended or doing something that requires a limb being a few feet away from the pole, I wont kick anything. I do have a desk that sits a bit closer (like 4 feet away) but its low enough to the ground that I dont bump it when Im ON the pole.

Some things are standard but I don’t understand why there isn’t a standard name for everything in pole dance. It is not like in ice skating… You would never hear a Triple Axel be called a Thrice Weezel, you know?

You are too funny ABC’sBut yeah, I wish there was one basic name for every move but unfortunately it just doesnt work that way. On Wikipole it does list alternative names for the moves (some of them anyway) but a lot of us are pretty familiar with the different lingo, since this site has members from all over. Im sure we could figure out what you are talking about https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif
