Errr, I’m comfortable with all forms of music except REGGAE**** No idea why I wrote dubstep.

Depends on where I am; if I’m at work, I dance like Felix circa 2006. Very seductress slinky, fluid, tricks. BUT. Because I dance to alternative grungy rock, there’s a lot of spin combos I do.
Personal time at the studio I do contemporary with lots of lyrical and a very light peppering of ballet. I know how to do flags even though I’ve never taken a dance class.

I thought alethea’s dvd’s were OKAY. Her warmups were very good, and then some moves had excellent information and breakdowns. But others were two to three part moves in which hardly anything was explained in part one, leaving you stranded in parts two and three. They also had a really terrible habit of zooming in on her face, crotch, or chest randomly during explanation. I liked the floorwork dvd overall, though, even though there were some moves that I still don’t understand (45’s, tiffany legs to name two…there was a snake charmer leg thing she did that I didn’t understand, either.) As far as pole dvd’s, I’ve never viewed any, but I really want to purchase jamilla’s

I’m too lazy to hand wash my dancer stuff…..after about 6 months it starts to matter. I used to only do wash cycles when I forgot to handwash….now I do it all the time. I used to handwash with regular hand soap because my mom buys unscented detergent LOL kinda ghetto, I know…if I buy lace, though, I will only hand wash.

Arnica! The pole dancer’s heroin! Use uh…the black and blue balm. It’s from Hawaii, but it’s worth the purchase. You can purchase Arnica gels from walmart or walgreens, but I felt like the gel never did anything for me. Creams and balms worked best.
Also, take an iron supplement, drink atleast half a gallon of water everyday, and ice then heat the bruise. It helps circulate the blood, which leads to faster healing.
And a little fat is a good thing. Believe it or not it cushions for more advanced holds later (teddy and yogini for example)

The two studios I’ve been to in phx both refer to SV pretty frequently.
“I saw your post on Veena, that was awesome.”
“Did you see so and so’s performance on Studio Veena? She did this amazing trick combo. It was blah to blahblah to blah.”
Things like that. But I know some studios don’t.

Obvious ones: jumping into sm’s and inverts
less obvious: fan legs! If you pole hold on the right, you can actually aggrivate the left cuff. I was teaching a girl who had nearly a six pack, and fan legs always aggrivated her non-dom rotator cuff. Also, if it’s already aggrivated, stay away from corkscrew and teddy.

my board is about 16″ by 20″ and about 3/4ths of an inch thick. Basically, you want something large enough to cover the dome and have an overhang of 3 or so inches. You want it to be small enough not to have a mega over-hang or the weight distribution might be off (aka sliding). I have mine as thick as 3/4″ but you could use something thicker, but I wouldn’t go thicker than 2″ just as a personal preference (makes ceiling splits harder!) I’m afraid to go thinner because I rent, not own my house.

I always put a wooden board just a little under an inch thick inbetween my pole and the ceiling. Once you remove the ring or paint over it, you should put a board up as well. Not only does it prevent the black-ring-of-sadness, but it more evenly distributes pressure. I’ve seen people pole through their ceiling before. I’ve never had the ring due to the fact that I always use a stability board (you can pic one up from Home Depot, scrap wood is almost always free, or close to) so I can’t give any suggestions for that, just how to prevent it in the future.

you should be fined for not posting ring pictures! Unless I missed them, then I should be fined for being blind :p

The only post I see is “post a status AND get two people to like”. And it’s from like, a month ago. Not sure if it’s still valid?

@Runemist Do you have a pen pal? When I was struggling with my book me and my friend Jess started writting to eachother. We would share one chapter with eachother a week, critique, and send it back. It really motivated me to write since I knew someone was watching. When I got bored with my book(s) I would just write short stories, just to keep myself interested in writing.
I'm always looking for story buddies if you're interested :3
