If the owner already knows I don't know what else you could do. I think you already did the best thing by leaving.

Hi Chem 🙂

The thing is I can do a shoulder mount flip like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2suQFMCRyY as well I can even do an ariel SM flip. 

But in the other vid she seems to be going sideways and down whereas in Skittle's vid she pulls herself upside down so the pole is out of the way for the flip, but I guess I will try it with the Veena grip maybe I can get more control that way.

I'm not a gym person.

You can gain both flexibility and strength on your own. I really love the lessons here. They are really clear and in order of what move to learn first so it builds your strength. 

As for doing The Art of Pole at the same time I think it would depend on how much energy you have left or maybe alternate so you don't over do it. I personally would probably stick with the order of lessons here and mix in the similar moves from other sources in case the other instructor has additional tips or variations in how to execute the move.

You can try checking Youtube but it looks like the company had people review on their behalf so I'd also check any reviewers other vids to try and guage how legit they seem.

For myself I'm a Rihanna fan and I love Nicole Williams of Allure Pole dance (whose in the vid) 

I don't think it sets back pole dancing. In the song she's singing about strip clubs which she regularly visits them on her down time. I think the video did suit the context of the song since it's supposed to represent stripping/strippers/clubs and not pole fitness.

Also on Rihanna's channel they did take the time to put up Nicole William's audition clips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yInyWTzPo which is now over 1 million views and exposes a wide audience to a skilled pole demo which has a lot of positive feedback in the comments section. So I think the video actually ended up benefiting the pole community.

Don't apologize at all Rune 🙂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and in light of your post I should mention to the O.P. that although I used the program and it worked (again not in 6 weeks for me) I definitely did not push myself to pain. A bit of discomfort – yes, but I was mindful of muscle tears and also made sure to be really warmed up ahead of time.

Hey Rune, I'm curious as to why the program is dangerous? A lot of members here had the same success with it as I did. 

I originally found it in this thread:

PS: I'm not trying to debate with you I was just wondering

There's lots of polers here who have learned to do the splits at 30+ and 40+ and I'm pretty sure 50+ 

If you haven't done it as a child but are willing to put in the time and patience I don't see why you can't do it.

I used the 6 weeks splits plan http://www.unique-bodyweight-exercises.com/splits.html (It took more like a year though) as well as Alethea Austin's stretching for the splits – I followed the 6 weeks format and mixed in her stretches that were similar. I physically couldn't stretch everyday due to soreness but I did it when I could about 2 to 3 times a week sometimes only once a week. If I had been more consistent I probably wouldv'e got there sooner.

Nicole Williams from Pole Dance Allure posted she will be in Rihanna's Pour it Up vid!

*It always looks

[Cherished]

Yes, I just edit out the stuff I don't like lol

Seriously though I film regularly because I needed to learn how to dance and be aware of what my body was doing without the help of a mirror. For me, I always looks pretty bad during the learning curve but I keep a lot of it to compare with footage down the line when I've improved.

However I actually do put together vids where I edit out stuff I don't like and just enjoy the good parts.
