I think this video was over hyped for what it was, honestly. She did a lot of amazing moves, moves we all know are very difficult. But she’s young. She SHOULD have that amount of flexibility at that age. And if you compare her body type to say, Marlo or Oona you’ll notice the lack of serious muscles and abs. She isn’t fully developed or all that heavy for her size. I agree with the idea that the industry is moving more towards vertical rhythmic gymnastics and away from dance. I prefer Marlo and Nadia over Oona and Olga for one reason; you can tell it’s not just a routine for them. Even if that is no longer the way pole wants to go, at least we will have events like Pole Art to show case that.

I’ve been in one for four months. I’ve tried personal trainers for working out to lose weight, I’ve tried a different instructor for pole (waste of time and money). I’ve changed my diet and witheevery change I’m just more depressed that it isn’t doing anything for me. It doesn’t help that it’s 115 degrees where I live and my pole is on my garage. I can’t even do more than one CKR before I start slipping in even that.

I’m not doing Other side. But I will be doing a freestyle to Neon Cathedral

No. She didn’t do arms only climb (which she did do mpdr in 2011, iirc might be 2010). She was the first person I saw do Janeiro to marchenko and now that’s the only way I can get into that move. I shared a video of her a while ago and despite the fact that she’s amazing the responses from non poles were highly negative and toxic

I need this in my life 10 years ago. Okay. I was only 10 at the time. But still. I needed this a LONG time ago. How unbelievably freaking cool!

I regret getting my x sport. It’s a good pole but it doesn’t spin. I recommend xpert

If you mean on craiglist ad, I already have it checked

You’ll Probably have to buy from x-pole. I’ve been searching craigslist every day since November in Phoenix, flag, LA, and sf. And the only brass poles posted are not x-pole. They’re normally stage poles (the 4×4 hand made one’s that don’t spin). But if you find a dealer let me know.

What diameter and finish?

1. Yes. They’re different in every way except they both include a pole. Communities are different, goals are mostly different. Dancing style is different. I hate when people relate the two, as I am a part of both communities. To put it in Veena’s words, “pole dancers aren’t exotic dancers, but exotic dancers are pole dancers.” I’ve seen a few classy stage shows, but not nearly enough to say my industry is classy or artful
2. Personal preference. Some people have jobs they could get fired from if people knew they poled. In this case stage name is better to avoid face book mix ups (tagging pics and what not)
3. I am mostly open. I won’t tell someone when I first meet them what I do. I sniff them out and gauge their reaction on a few different topics before I bring it up. But my fb picture is me doing Marley and I am known to street pole whenever I can. Have pole, will dance.
4. Family sport. The us recognizes pole as vertical gymnastics, doesn’t it? If 16 year olds can compete in the Olympics for gymnastics, and have been training for it since they were eight, there’s no reason they couldn’t train vertically. I’ve seen no correlation between people under 16 having babies or ruining their life because they pole and its what “strippers” do. Besides, most kids sit inside and play video games all day. It’s good exercise, let’s kids appreciate art, gives them goals, and let’s them express their creativity. All the while letting them keep their flexibility they have as kids.
5. Studio Veena is not only for pole. Many people practice silks and Chinese pole, both require a lot more clothing than regular pole. There’s also hooping and hammock and contortion. It would be unfair to block anyone of any age because the sites primary focus is something society CONSIDERS sexual. There’s no nudity allowed on this site. So no 18+ necessary.

So I’ve found that when I invert on static, I pause before invert. When spinning, it is one movement. No pause. The pause makes me think I’m going too fast and I psyche myself out. Also, keeping your legs straight through the whole invert helps. I agree with the previous post on going backwards. But I also feel like it’s a lot of trial and error

If you tend to favor your outside leg hang over your inside (like I do) then getting into allegra can be kinda tricky for the pole to rib placement. If you have veena's lessons watch her allegra video and how to enter from OUTSIDE leg hang. I feel like entering from outside as opposed to inside the first few times allows you a lot more room to position the pole and find the spot where it's supposed to go without a lot of risk of injury. When you get where it's supposed to go after that, you can try allegra from superman or back to inside leg hang if you so choose 🙂
