    Nickel us in Gold and many high quality jewelry so that isn’t necessary a solution. This is why I don’t wear jewelry unless it says it’s nickel free. I have a rash from my inside leg hang and knee is from nickel. What I want to know is what did x pole use for their protective clear coating? I want to put more on. I went to Lowes and bought a spray on clear coat but don’t like it.
    Btw who the heck is webmaster? you are really not needed as a meditator. I think us ladies got this , so you can excuse yourself from your peacekeeping duties Lol!!!!
    I have nickel allergies, from my x pole and need more coating. whet is it?

    And herein lies the problem. “Stripper only means to “remove clothing” and is a overused term with little or no understanding of what it actually means.Not all strippers get naked, perform on stage,pole or give lap dances and some do all of the above and in this category some do it artistically and some not so much. Showgirl, adult entertainer and exotic dancer are all loose terms and that vary among different clubs, dancers,states,countries and decades. The unnecessary shame projected onto these w women is what pole dance industry is up against not it’s evil stripper twin! When Pole studios, instructors, amateurs, pro competitors stop trying to cut away their lineage and apologizing for they’ll be taken more seriously. Many women over a long time span have been exploited as dancers yet they still made beauty and art.Not for the men but for eachother. The documentation, unification and education of strength, anatomy and technique of the pole industry are valuable tools legitimizing pole dance as a real performance art but is is not the whole of Pole nor is it the origin . Pole dance can never be separated from its creators but it perfected and celebrated without defining it to death.I choose to celebrate the countless women who danced in the dark , who changed their names, hypnotized their audiences night after night. The ones who didn’t survive the shame are with me when I dance their signature moves . They’re elated we’ve brought them into the light.Lets not exploit the once again by locking them out of their art and denying their legacy! Be proud,be free, and dance your heart out- NO SHAME! Xoxo

    Seriously, where the gratitude and recognition? Modern Pole dancing was born in strip clubs. As a veteran myself I can say I ” stripped and pole danced side by side with 2 of the most famous American pole dancers in the world back in the 90’s! We,d train after hours at 2am and teach eachother new tricks.I went out them to prove my point but I will say that 8 yrs of exotic dance “are my credentials” as an instructor in a well respected yoga studio. I am nowhere near as advanced as the 2 ladies I used work with but I still have years of experience. Funny how these SNOOTY STUDIOS shun the very women birthed this art . Every pole dancer would give their right arm to train from these ex- strippers .They’ve worked their asses off for nearly 15 years to earn their world titles.Careful who you judge, it may just be a World Champion!
