Oh and I have visible beams
-
There are spots to put the pole, but they’re not secured. The entire ceiling lifts up when we put the pole up. The beams can be pushed up with your hand.
I’m not entirely sure what you mean by joists.
I’ve never heard of an x stage lite. I will look it up now

And I don’t think it ships to Australia anyway!

Hi Veena, the ceiling turns out to be fairly flimsy. We put it up but the pressure of the pole basically started to lift the entire ceiling upwards. The pole didnt stay put and was sliding each time weight was applied.
Hi Webmaster, haven’t looked at the Veena pole. It’s a bit expensive for me right now, but might be an option in the future. But I’m still afraid of the structural soundness of the place

I’ve never performed but I would definitely invite my dad. Dad is very supportive. I’ve practiced in front of him and when I get the move he gets excited for me and I get a lot of “Mum, did you see that?!” And “That’s really good baby!!”
Dad puts my pole up for me, takes it down, tries lifting himself up on it himself.
But I know others who just can’t tell their parents.
I think you’d have to go on your comfort levels. I know my parents and I are ‘friends’ as well as having a regular parent/child relationship.

That looks quite little!

Tacha can you send the picture?

This is what the ceiling looks like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mppgphpo3fparw1/Photo%2029-09-13%207%2021%2022%20AM.png
This is the only photo I have on my phone right now and I won’t be home until later tonight.
I’m not sure if this is what you were mentioning about joists poledanceromance, but the ceiling is kinda flimsy in between the beams- but those beams seem to be pretty sturdy.
Would that adapter be the best bet, Veena? I’ve never even heard of an adapter before!
Might have a look at lunch today

As in the pole then screws into the ceiling?

Changes by David Bowie could work?

Since I'm only a beginner there might be different needs, but at my pole class last night, we did a 20-30 minute or so warm up/strength session followed by pole moves in that time we went over what we had learnt last lesson and then two new moves. After that was a 5-10 minute warm down (an hours class).
But as I said – that's (absolute) beginner levels

Thanks TLizzard! I will try the retainer when I can find it again
-
No it wasnt. before I had a cheap $8.00 metal one in (not entirely sure what it was), and then when the stone kept falling out I swapped to a plastic retainer. I now have the 9 carot gold small stud in

Definitely cool but very old school! But he tries. I remember we once taught him the lyrics to Sk8er Boi and he would sing it to us and we’d be in gales of laughter.

I told my grandparents I was doing pole (they saw the bruises on the back of my legs) and I expected quite a horrified response from my grandfather- he is very old fashioned. He just turned to me and said “good job babe. I’m glad you’re doing something about getting healthy” and that was the end of it. Not the reaction I expected. He now frequently asks how I’m doing with it, have I learnt any new tricks, here’s some tips for blister and bruises, send me your videos. And he even saw my pole and tried his hand at a pole walk.
There was no ick factor for him at all and he was quite excited I was finally doing something about gettin myself into better shape.
