Name: Steffie Neve
Age: 22
Location: Denmark
Stage name: Jezebel
Lessons or self thaught: SV all the way!
Spin or static: Both in each session, cant choose <3
Shoes or barefoot: Both
Favourite pole move: Ballerina spin to ballerina hold
Day job: Med student and prof. retoucher + some modelling and styling.
Your best/sexiest feature: Eyes/lips
How you got into poledancing: Heard some random girl on the bus, talking about how she trained poledance. I had never heard of it being a sport, youtubed it and found tarakarina
How you found out about SV: After showing my boyfriend a video of tarakarina, he secretly ordered a pole and he also found SV and purchased the first year for me, because he knew I wouldnt want to dance in a class.
if you were a pair of underwear would you be a thong, boy shorts, bikini cut or granny panties: Bikini cut. -
Mighty grip is all I use, it is a wonder product to me. No matter what the weather and temp. is, it never fails on me. I have never ever seen anyone, including myself, leave a trail of white "smoke", but if that has happened, it sure does sound like its due to too much powder. You only need a tiny amount, and give it a couple of min. to get warmed up, then its sticky.

Welcome back PoleFeline 😀 If you go in to lessons, its the first that comes up, and then you can just click "see all" and start from day 1 🙂

I get where you are coming from, but most that I've talked to, and myself, didnt realize that this is actually hard work, its mostly "that looks effortless" or "it would be so much fun to spin and spin" – I had no idea of the strenght it takes, or the fact that this even needed research. The reason why Im commenting it, is because of the fact that this person is new and this is her way of doing research. 🙂

I understand you tallicachild, I dont teach pole, but when my friends are over, they wanna jump on that thing, upside down and I never allow that. However, I dont think it helps the poster to know that it frustrates you, its just the way it is, most that start out, wants to be up side down. All we can do is give our advice if we feel like it. 🙂
As far as the questions about tips, I have one. Wait awhile, purchase Veenas lessons, and go in her order. She really understands what needs to be learnt first. I think I trained for about 6 months before trying the first invert and I still after almost 2 years, work hard on controlling it. Dont ever jump, always tuck. 🙂 And remember, its not the goals you reach, its the journey that matters 😀 -
Tacha666 – Yes static makes a huge difference! I think it has something to do with friction. I never used to practice spin work on static, until I learned one-handed spins on it. Now Im addicted to getting every spin on static aswell. And great to hear that you had fun on static! Sounds like you are even more close o it, than you thought 😀 yaaay!

It really worked for me. Its also the way Marlo Fisken recommends and that girl can spin with one hand!

Its not stripperish, because of the siple fact, that you are not stripping 🙂 Thats the technical stuff. The feel of your style is sexy and sensual, but I think your husband, maybe confusing your style with stripperish, but really its sexy poledancing. Maybe he doesnt know the many different styles there is in poledancing. Just a few is sexy, ballet and trickster. I think you are a sexy poledancer, because you pay alot of attetion to the flow, slow movements and such, whereas a trickster would be more of showing moves after another, paying most attention to strenght and ballerina style is all about lines. I love your sexy poledance style, and I really dont see the stripper. Even if there was a stripper aspect, I say enjoy it. Strippers are HAWT!

The last 6 months, I've been working on one-handed spins. I would say, that starting on static, is the best and the safest way to learn it first. Spinning pole, takes soo much more strenght and I flew of the pole and hit my shoulder, the first time I tried one-handed, because I didnt start on static. The best way to start, is by walking around the pole, in a steady tempo, try making smal leaps, where you lift your feet of the ground, for like a 1-2 seks at a time, ontil you feel stronger in your grip, and arm(s) – remeber both sides. When you feel ready for the next step, try walking around the pole with steady tempo, and then tuck your feet and legs, and just slide down, with one hand. Before you know it, you have it on static. I still dont fully have it on spinny, but once I do, I'll let you kow how it happened 🙂 I think the last 5-6 vids on my profile, shows my progress on static, so feel free to take alook.

Just do yourself a favor and puchase them. Thats really all I have to say. There is to much good stuff to even explain, you need to experience it yourself. 😀 Going on 1½ year for me now, and I wouldnt know what to do, without this place and the lessons. When my first anual purchase was over, I almost freaked out, because I couldnt access the lessons until I got my paycheck the next day. That was one loooong day… (okay, I had a bit more to say :D)

Have you tried to videotape youself spinning? I thought the same about my pole at first, but then I taped it and realized that it looked like other poledancers spins. It was just scary at first. Ofcourse that is only if you are new to spins. 🙂

It happened to my xpole once aswell. It was because it was overtightened 🙂

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims and their loved ones. I come from a country where this never happens, and I cant even imagine the pain! I read that the shooter have multiple personality disorder, and it reminds me, why I want to be a psychiatrist. This man should have been under professional protection. Then this would have never happened.

Thank you sooo much Darling 😉 There are ways to "hide" your height in photos, which you will learn yourself 🙂 A good tip is to never stand beside a car. Aka no car-shoots for us smaller models 🙂 I do also get catwalk jobs, but ofcourse not as many as photoshoots. Anyway, feel free to write a message if you have any questions, or want something edited 🙂 I hope it works out for you, because it IS alot of fun, and you get to meet great, creative people aswell.
