If you don’t have our lessons why?
-
Because apparently I’m full of suggestions and have no filter*….
How about a kickstarter for something? Maybe for an app? There is no pressure if it doesn’t meet its goal. I was so pumped and excited watching the the PDA book get funded!
And my brothers company has a kickstarter right now… and I asked him all these questions from someone relatively unfamiliar with the process… like “what if you don’t get funded… are you still going to make that product?” and his answer was… hopefully, but this will help it happen sooner rather than later… ALSO (and a big also) it a big advertisement… even the people who do not donate to that particular project may check out their webpage and buy a different product already in production.
And I think kickstarter uses Amazon not paypal if that eases anyone fears.
*I’m a loud brain-stormer… and that how I work. I talk things out, throw out a ton of ideas, maybe some will stick, some will be helpful…. and if I’m lucky they all won’t suck.

Ok, I have your lessons, but I’m a little bummed because to watch them on my TV I’d have to go through quite a few hoops, and I love to put things on my TV to watch as my Pole is in living room area instead of an alternate room. I have a Roku already, if there was a chance to put the lessons on a private Roku channel I would be so very very happy. It would be much more useful to me personally than having it work on ipad. (though may not be cost effective)
-
For our small team maintaining a Roku channel is probably not on the horizon, but I can give you a couple tips.
Getting video to your TV is really easy with the right tools:
If you have iOS devices such as iPads, iPods or iPhones an AppleTV will allow you to stream anything from your device to your TV.
If you have an Android device a Google Chromecast will allow you to stream anything from your device to your TV.
Ecosystem becomes really important when we start talking about device streaming. Roku while still popular is beginning to struggle against ecosystem devices like AppleTV and Chromecast.

how about a pole dancing book…. a manual of all moves as a guide , theres none of that! with tips on each move ?
-
Oh, good thinking Olivia!!!
or like laminated flash cards with pictures of the moves on them… Maybe even the kind that are on a big ring. Something like that could be cool… and you can change the order around, or have a few piles or rings, depending on what you’re working on…
Could be a fun project that would be something people could purchase… and add too… and it would get people hooked on seeing Veena smiling face!

@allysonkendal …. these are not pretty or fancy or anything but its relevant 🙂 and they serve their purpose 🙂 though https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/53a939a5-a44c-44b6-835a-06dc0a9aa0eb

AllysonKendall, I just finished implementing your idea!!!
-
I just noticed all the little stars and was wondering if that’s what they meant… ☺
-
I’ve just realized there are (at least) 2 different colors… what does that represent?

I read most of the postings…but not all so excuse me if I missed a similar idea. My problem is I would be happy to “lock” into a year of lessons for $99. What I mean is that I don’t like having to pay 99 up front but also why would I pay 20 for one month when you can get a whole year for 99. This is the reason that I honestly have not signed up for lessons again. I come back to the page often and I’m luck “ugh I really want to sign up but thats too much up front for a year but 20 for a month seems too much”
Therefore, my suggestion would be to allow 6 month or 1 year “lock in” rates, meaning one can agree or contract into a year of access for $99/year but let user either pay up front or only charge 8.25 per month. If the user does not want to continue access then they have to still continue to pay. This is how my studio does the pricing. a 6 month membership may be slightly more expensive giving people incentive to sign up for the full year.
What do you think? -
One drop in lesson costs 25.00! 20.00 a month is not to high at all. At a studio, you pay 25.00 per lesson and get an hour. Here, you pay 100.00 and get a year and access to all the lessons you want. Just another thought there for ya.

Wheeee! I have a star! 😀

It was over 2 years before I joined and started paying for lessons, and there was a combination of reasons why I bought my first subscription. My initial hesitation was being a pole virgin and I was taking classes in Boston. Having no idea what was going on or what I was doing, I felt more comfortable having a physical person with me. But after my first four classes ($160 later and the end of their beginner session, which constituted of 3 air borne swings, 2 pole transitions, floor and wall dancing, and chair)
I had been stalking YouTube enough that I figured I could teach myself since my instructor was a former exotic dancer of 18 months and is amazing. With her graduating and moving out of state I was self training via YouTube, when one of your lap dancing lessons graced my screen. This was last fall, I had been teaching beginner pole and chair/lap/strip tease, and saw your video of the inverted lap dance. It is my signature move, and I love teaching it.
I had also received your email for $20 off and bought myself an early Christmas present. I also bought one of Cleo the Hurricane DVDs earlier for $70 when it was first released, and I am not an advanced poler, nor am I made of rubber. So that DVD had started to gather dust due to my being made of stone compared to miss Cleo’s flexibility.
This is why I will be renewing my membership. You offer the best, most comprehensive, easy to understand and execute stretches. I have more flexibility in some places, but not others like my hip flexor. I love that you take into account Everyone’s range of motion.
I would have joined sooner if I was aware of how comprehensive your stretching and conditioning videos are. Might I suggested expanding your brand image to overall pole health, since I glanced over many of the comments and it seems one of the major reasons people do not commit (outside of lack of time/schedule) is everyone is progressing faster than veena can post new material. It seems presently your branded only for your pole lessons.
I had hurt myself poling messing up my knee and had to do 6 months of PT, I didn’t realize how important it is to stretch. You should focus on stretching too and spread the word about your hooping as fun or cross training, so fools like me don’t self train without proper stretching and hurt themselves.

I also didn’t know what my hip flexor was till I joined this site, and now that I have been properly stretching, it is amazing how great my body feels.
