Just being able to slide down the pole into a split is soooo cool. Thats all I want in the world right now <3

I think there are still plenty who prefer 50s, and I think a lot of people on a budget will get a used 50 over shelling out for a new 45, especially if they're new and planning to maybe upgrade later or own more than one size. If I had had room for it, I would've kept my 50 and my 45.

I think the quote for someone in Cali put it up near 70.

It was 44 bucks when I shipped mine. And I had an extra dome and extension piece.

If you box it up and take it to a ups store, and let them weigh it for you, take the weight and dimensions back home and plug it into fedex, usps, and ups and see whats the cheapest rate. You can print a label at home and either drop it off at whatever courier you choose, or some will pick it up from you. I strapped all my stuff into the case, packed paper in and around everythiiiing, and put it in a big ol' box. I can't recall how much it was to ship from VA to GA but it wasn't horrible. Wasn't a happy number either though.

Ballet teachers will usually correct "floppy hands" too haha

I personally love Ballet. Flexibility, correct posture and form, and you develop a beautiful point. The choreography is there. You can even do stuff like a Barre class thats like ballet and pilates fushion if you want a workout to go with it. I do like tap, but not much as an adult. Jazz dancing is incredibly fun, and will give you some funky choreography, but seems to have fallen out of favor (though Jazzercise is making a huge comeback). Hip Hop dance I would consider to be like belly dancing, in helping you figure out new ways to move or transition, but ballet is soooo wonderful.

I always THOUGHT my mom was conservative. I find she was moreso trying to make ME be conservative. Now that I'm an adult, and fairly "covered up" in my dress tone, she says she wishes she could tramp me up a bit. She was behind the camera on the first pole video I ever did, just a climb to show her I could. She was laughing about me having big feet. I don't think my dad has seen me pole, he'd probably freak out and issue a whole tirade filled with unfortunate misinformation, but he doesn't use a computer much less have Facebook. My other family members don't seem to mind. My brother thinks its funny. My cousin once had a website where she would dress up and take pictures for guys for money, so I guess my poling is mild. Growing up I was always "the wild one". Now I'm "the eccentric one" and everyone else is wild together haha.

I love playing with momentum, sticking legs out, halfway out, tucking in, getting tall like a pencil on the pole. It really helped me get a sense of how to work momentum in my favor.

My hubs was really impressed with the side spin, because it was so fast. He is amazed when I can just chill in crucifix. He really likes the ankle attitude as far as "pretty", and he thinks its the most amazing thing ever when I do the front hook to back hook combo spin. As for overall "sexy" he likes the Shakira style booty wiggle, pole or no lol.

My best friend and I were hanging with his band. She was with him, I was with the singer. Later she switched to the lead guitarist and I ditched the singer and got with a bassist from another band. I threw a wild party and everyone was there, and the bassist wanted more of a physical relationship than I was willing to provide, I just wasn't that interested in him beyond the little bit of getting to know each other we had done. The next morning, everyone left over went out for breakfast and coffee. Adam was still asleep with a cigarette in his hand, burned clear through my couch. I don't eat breakfast food or drink coffee, so I just stayed behind. We joked about the cigarette hole and watched some TV and he never left. He would go to work and his apartment and band practices, but he would always ask to see me if just for a little while. We would talk until late in the night and he'd end up spending the night. Always just "snuggling" until I eventually had to ask if we were "together" lol. Then about three months later I asked if he was going to start paying rent (as his stuff had slowly migrated to my apartment). We eventually quit smoking together, and lost a lot of weight, and got engaged. I proposed to him, and at first he turned me down. He thought I was kidding. When I was devastated, he realized I had been serious. He later took me to a waterfall to accept/repropose lol. We married July 14th 2011 after postponing the wedding for a year. We had a tie dye wedding, everything was casual, even our officiant wore tie dye for us. We had a big beautiful cake and everyone kept commenting about how at least we had one traditional wedding thing. When we cut into it, everyone laughed because inside the traditional icing was all tie dyed cake. We have our ups and downs, he's slightly younger than me (TODAY IS HIS BIRTHDAY!!!! We are only one year apart for now!!!!) and we are both growing together. Its been an adventure so far and I'm can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

I sent a little something, good luck guys <3

I live out in the boonies, there is a studio in town, but I haven't really felt like "home" there as many people say about their studios. I try all the time to get my friends to pole, even my hooper friends seem to shy away from it, even if they're all about aerial work like silks and lyra. I WILL find a pole buddy.

Theres a 30 day takeoff program to get you back in the swing of things, and all the lessons are in sections from beginner to advanced, I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding your way around and polishing and expanding what you already know. The new routines are awesome too 🙂

I have this problem, like you said, it comes and goes. Lately its been gone more frequently for longer because I have made myself a priority. It is not selfish. If I am not at my best, I am no good to anyone, even if I'm technically "there". I have to be my best self to be able to help and serve others. If I can't take on anymore, and I say yes, and end up doing a half assed job because of it, that person isn't helped by me at all, and I've found whereever I say no, there is almost always someone that steps up who CAN say yes. I definitely sometimes feel guilt and sometimes feel like I'm missing out on things (like when I had to say no to being a fire performer at a solstice festival because I'm going camping that weekend.) I would love to be able to be in two places at once. Its not easy to let go. But once you do its so nice. I have also found that since taking control of my life, and setting boundaries, people respect me more, not less. I have more positive people in my life and the users and people that would take advantage of my kindness have thinned out. I know you've probably read similar things, and like anything dealing with emotions/social interaction/guilt/etc, its easier said than done. I also think you CAN start small. Start by saying "no I can't make dinner tonight" you don't even have to have a reason or explain yourself. If someone wants an explanation, just tell them its not a good time for you, and that is utter truth whatever your alternative plans are, even if its just to have some rejuvenation time on the couch at home alone. You can eventually move up to the "No I won't join the PTA/Head up this project/coordinate this event". Do what you need to do in your life, and do not fear regret. Embrace acceptance. Good luck *hug*
