    Oh yes I will definately join you all!
    lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I already know once I get my pole I wont be off of it because Im already studying the moves and ppls videos like an addict https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif but i cant wait!

    The X-pole, the tungsten (more expensive one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif ) is like the brass poles correct?

    London, I’m just working on building up abdominal strength to be able to do the basic invert. I haven’t attempted it yet and won’t until I’ve got all the basic moves out of the way along with learning how to transition between moves.

    Cream, I wish you luck on the rest of your finals this week. Let us know how you’re doing once you get back on the pole.

    PoleDanceABCs, you are going to have so much fun when you get the pole! Keep us posted.

    Toccara, I don’t know anything about the X-Pole since I’m not in the market for one. I have a Lil’ Mynx removable pole. I hope someone else can answer your question about the tungsten vs. brass.

    Legs, I’m glad you can join us in sharing your progress. I hope your wrist heals soon. Perhaps you should look into getting wrist bands to protect the skin. I’ve never had that problem, but I will be looking into them anyway. I think I’ll go with the leather material ones, they look cool. I wish you luck on the cradle and reverse grab. Those are the ones I’m working on now, my back is sore from it!

    I’m a beginner. I joined about a week ago and just got my pole in the mail 2 days ago. I posted my very first video last night. Watching all the videos, beginner or advanced, is all it takes to motivate me. I watch someone and run downstairs to my pole to try out a move I saw and liked https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif . I don’t have a webcam but I’ll join you in discussions! Great idea!

    Yeah, I just saw your youtube video when the pole arrived and your back hook spin! Have fun!

    You mentioned that the video size was too big to post here. I, too, have the same problem. I’m recording from a digital pocket camera and there’s no way of making the size smaller…at least, that I am aware of. Are we just out of luck on decreasing the size? Do I need to buy another camera that will record in a smaller file?

    Hey, glad to say I did very well on finals. My grades were posted a recieved an A- and a B for the two classes I took this semester. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif I am pretty satisfied with these two grades. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif I did enjoy the classses along with learning. I worked on a few vids tonight but they are very dark. My video cam/lighting issues I guess. But I have been enjoying all the video posted each day. They are all great motivation. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif I am having problems commenting on vids though not sure why??? everytime I try to post a comment I am sent back to the home page, go figure? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif Anyways< I would like to say I think all the videos posted this week were great and very motivating. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I got up at 6:15 this morning and did some poling. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I did some squats and pull ups on the pole too. My upper body and core needs an overhaul https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif but I am working on it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif . Well ladies, I am looking forward to all the greatness to come. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    I posted another vid of my first day practice. I am going to post yesterday’s practice soon.

    Unfortunately my editing software is not very good at compressing my vids. I have Adobe Premiere so if anyone has any pointers?? I tried exporting my vid in different formats but it just didn’t work well enough. I am much more used to Final Cut Pro which is my favorite but I don’t have the money to buy it.

    I stayed up late last night trying to figure out why I couldn’t post my video. I went into chat room to see if anyone was online to help me on the issue. JayFo was there and was really helpful. So it turned out my video file size was too large. Not having used Windows Movie Maker before, I just went online and did a google to find out how to compress a file. So I finally posted my first video girls https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif ! Let me know when you all post yours…I can’t wait to see them!

    Cream, good to hear you did well on your finals. When I was in college, getting good grades was my priority! I’m a perfectionist and wanted nothing but A’s. I went to night school for a few years before I got married and completed my bachelors attending full time. Now I have 2 little ones and have to wait until they are both in kindergarten to go back to school. In the mean time this is my hobby along with photography. Congratulations on your well earned grades! Now you can have some fun with the rest of us!!!

    Hi Perrylilac-

    I’m glad you could join us. I re-read your comment in this thread and noticed that I misunderstood it the first time I read it. So if you read the first message I added to this thread then disregard it. I thought you didn’t have a way of recording your videos, but you actually do as you’ve already posted your first video https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif That’s great!!! You move so beautifully and you are already ahead. Keep up the good work!!!
