    Back to the original post…. I like VJs, Spinarella, Polewaxers & Polelateaz. I have not visited Dance 411, Eye Fit Candy, Primary Fitness (also there’s a few new pole studios that have popped up, don’t remember the names), so I can’t offer any info on those. Have fun poling in Atl 🙂

    Mocha, I did not say that VJ's was only booty popping, but as I stated and clarified, VJ's is well known all over the world as the place to learn that.

    I would highly suggest taking privates with someone if you are trying to compete. It will get you where you want to be faster IMO. besides be spun also look at choregraphy house to see if they do competition training as well. kelly yvonne is excellent at themes, choreography ideas, etc… I love her Girl Next Door shows. She really embraces the theatrical side of pole which I love.

    Also Body and Pole offers pole bootcamps as well in NYC (I think they are like 4 days or something like that). Plus these ladies have excellent traditional dance backgrounds which they are excellent at blending together.

    Another place that is awesome in Atlanta is Sky Gym. I know the owner there as well. She rocks 🙂 It is great cross training for pole and will build your strength quickly. I believe she has conditioning classes as well. Her new space is beautiful. She started small as well and now has a strong following.

    @Mocha000 Thanks for your support! You always rock at our showcases!  (I really liked the "Set It Off" piece) Hope to see you in a future showcase 🙂

    Here is a link to Heidi Coker. She does teach at our studio but she handles all of her own private lessons.

    This was our duets showcase 🙂 I think her and Eva (another instructor of mine) did such an excellent job of blending the artistry and the advanced tricks. I was personally very moved by this performance.

    Heidi is excellent at unique artistry but also incorporates the advanced tricks. She has competed all over the world. I feel you will not be disappointed. She teaches our Level 7 and advanced workshops. She also does continuing education for our instructors as well. But she can get you to the next level that you need for competing since she has first hand experience.

    I know your style and your strength.  Check out Becca Butcher and also Samantha Star, besides our buddy Pantera.  Becca has a martial arts background and does corde lisse and trained Charlee Wagner.  Samantha uses a lot of hand balancing and unusual combinations in her pole work.  Charlee is ridiculously bendy but strong too.  I don't think Becca is as bendy.

    Personally I think Samantha's performance was cleaner than Charlee's but Charlee's performance played more to teh audience.  The fact that Samanths has not pole/dance/acrobatic background makes her stick out more to me.

     

    A really good demo of Becca's style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeTVKP3pmgU
