Behavior like this is usually the result of misbehaving browser plugins or malware. You can test this by switching browsers, try firefox http://www.firefox.com or chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome.

@ORGANIC ANGEL – We requested for her to start a new thread. This thread is about the competitors, who got in and who didn't. The practices of pole dancing competitions is a whole other topic and would effectively hijack this threads original purpose, which was to track who got in.

We use a cloud based upload destination so how busy the website is doesn't matter. Upload speed is going to be determined by the size of your video file and the upload speed of your internet service.
Some tips to reduce the size of your upload:
1) You can usually reduce the video quality on your camera and it will have little to no visual effect on you video
2) Most editing programs will compress the video on export, which means a smaller file
3) Our website doesn't support full 1080p HD so reducing your image quality to a 720p will reduce your file size significantly -
@damninnocent11 – make sure that the two screws at the bottom allign with the Xs on the base plate. if they do there should be no way for the pole to move as they are physically locked inside the bearing unit.
-
@damninnocent11 – The three screws need to be lined up with and tightened into the flat parts of the adjuster rod. If you tighten them into the screw threads of the adjuster rod you will cause damage that may inhibit the functionality of your pole.

@pinsforkids – here is an article on hoochie coochie dancers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoochie_coochie .
Taken at face value in modern vernacular it can be a bit confusing but its actually a intersting historical phenomenon.

Lil Mynx is going to be your most economical pole but will require you to install a fixture to your ceiling. And the added problem is that by the time you order a Lil Mynx with shipping you are at about the same price as ordering a Static X-Pole here with free shipping, and then you don't need to install the ceiling fixture.

Gmwifey – all orders have been processed and notified please email me your shipping address so I can find and resend your shipping info.

X-Pole retailers are not allowed to adjust the X-Pole price, very rarely X-Pole themselves will offer a sale price.
I would like to note however that we are currently offering free shipping to the US and Canada. Typical shipping on an X-Pole product is fourty dollars, so we are saving you fourty dollars.

@LindaS – A Blooper is a funny mistake.

Sometimes paypal doesn't redirect correctly. As long as you got a receipt from them your pole is ordered.

Can we please try and keep this civil? Cinara came to us with sincere concerns and looking for our help. Perhaps we could ask her some more questions about her situation?
Thank-you so much for your understanding.

Poles can be installed in any floor of your home.

@ElleML – I apologize for the response. I have to be honest that I fell prey to one of the cardinal sins of Forums in that I didn't read the initial post.

@ElleML – What brand of poles do you have in your studio. It's highly unusual for chrome to "wear" under normal use and when it does it will generally crack or peel. If the poles are experience where they most likely have some other type of coating that is less robust and experiencing wear.
To SensualScimitar's point, there are alot of other variables. In a studio environment you have cleaning chemicals, grip aids and lotions to contend with. These will often create issues before a metal allergy would.
-
@SensualScimitar – I think its time to put this whole nickel rumour to rest. You are more likely to be hit by lightning than you are to have a reaction to the nickel in any pole's plating. These imaginary health risks that some pole companies are putting out there are simply FUD campaigns, and they are completely and utterly ridiculous.
You would know if you were that hypersensitive to nickel as it is contained in many, many, many every day objects.
If we are going to avoid metal allergies altogether, we need to be building poles out of gold, titanium and platinum. These metals are non-reactive with human biology.

It's important to decide how you learn best.
Local studios can be great, but you have to research them. There can be a HUGE quality difference difference between studios, especially since there isn't currently any standards. Depending on where you are we may be able to point you in the direction of a good studio.
With Veena's lessons there are many testimonials on this site, and thousands of people have had success with them. We get testimonials like the ones in this graphic every day:
https://www.studioveena.com/img/account_testimonials.png
Certainly cost is roughly the same between studio and online lessons. Two months of studio lessons will cost about the same as a pole and two months of Veena lessons. Although with the online option you end up with a pole that you can continue to use whether you keep taking lessons or not.
Whatever you decide you don't have to get in shape to pole dance. In fact pole dance is how alot of people on this site achieved their fitness goals. From weight loss to endurance, the right program can take you from 0 to 60 on the pole.
