I bought my ticket today from the Symphony website. I bought center row ticket, Row K, seat 108. Very expensive, but I’m assuming it’s because the venue is nicer? Anyway, can’t wait to see the show!!!
For those interested, here is the link to buy the tickets from the Symphony Space site:

Thanks for the feedback, Angel. I probably won’t be buying the Tease DVD then. Hopefully her new routines video will be just as great as her other pole vids…

50mm is definitely the standard. All of the poles at the studio I teach at are 50mm, but I have a 45mm at my house. It’s all about preference. People with smaller hands tend to like the 45mm better for hand grips, but some people complain about the pain with leg and knee grips on it. Personally, I didn’t see much of a difference with the leg and knee holds, maybe a TAD, but not enough to make me prefer the 50s. Veena is right tho, it’s MUCH easier going from a 50mm to 45mm, and hard to go from a 45mm to 50mm. Different pole materials also make a difference – Chrome, Stainless, Brass, Titanium, etc. Best bet is to try them out for yourself and see which ones you prefer.

I love the AOP series and just ordered the new Routines DVD. I teach routines in my pole classes all the time, but I loved Jamillas breakdowns of her pole DVDs so much that I figured even I could learn a thing or two from her new DVD. I am also interested in buying her Tease Lap Dancing DVD, but I couldn’t find any reviews on it….Anyone own that one as well and would like to share some feedback?? thanks in advance!

Well, picking the pros should have been easy. There were 14 eligible for the competition (the top 5 places from each comp so far, excluding Jenyne) and Faith Daniels is not going to enter because she is having shoulder surgery and will be off the pole for 8 – 14 months (she posted this on her facebook page). So if someone else dropped out for whatever reason, the remaining pros should be automatically accepted to compete. As to why they are waiting to notify the 6 amateurs, I’m assuming it was a difficult decision since they were picking half as many? Still no word heard here yet…..good luck to all that entered videos!

I know the YouTube channel you speak of and I am familiar with the leg transitions and heel clicks on the floor. It seems to me like the girls do a lot of circling with the legs bent. I teach this in some of my pole 1 classes and call the leg circling "can can kicks." The way I teach the leg circling is to lie on your back with both legs straight up in the air, together. Keeping one leg completely straight, bend the other at the knee and start to draw a circle with the foot, inward. Straighten the leg after a circle or two, and then switch legs and circle again with the other. Your right leg will circle counter clock wise and your left leg will circle clockwise. I always circle the legs inward. You can circle them outward, but for me it’s a little more difficult and not as natural. As far as the heel clicks go, I spoke with a stripper in class about it once, and she told me the reason she does it a lot is because of the noise, and how when she’s in the club dancing, it will immediately bring attention to her on stage from people around the club. It can be a startling noise, so it gets people to look at her when she does it. It made sense to me, although it seems as if the girls Webstwe and Luckygirl do it as part of their style and flair. I hope my explanation helped some!!

this waiting is driving me crazy!!! i thought for sure we’d find out today….
-
Yes! I submitted. My video is on my YouTube Channel (AllieGatorUF) and my facebook profile page (Allison Cox). Did you submit Cricket?
-
A lot of them resubmitted their previous videos. I know Leigh Ann Orsi resubmitted hers, as well as Lisa Wilhoit (Amateur), but they could’ve sent in their videos via DVD. I guess we’ll have to wait and see the results!!

Fun!!

I was notified via email last time for the East Coast Comp, so I am assuming they will notify again the same way. I found out a couple days after the final submission date, so we should hear by the end of the week! I’m still waiting on my routines via DVD from them from the last Comp….When you all that entered find out, let us know on here!

It doesn’t look like the base requires any sand or water….the base looks too flat to put anything underneath. I am definitely interested in this pole, and I wish the owners of the studio I teach at bought one so we could use it for location parties and not have to hassle with the PS removable pole. If anyone ends up getting this pole, please post a review!

For only having a few lessons, I’m wondering if these ladies have really perfected their technique of each trick – including getting into and out of the spin gracefully and controlled? I have lots of students at the beginner level who are able to "do" the beginner spins/transitions and are immediately wanting to move on to more advanced things. What they don’t understand is that although they are able to perform some of these moves, they are not doing it in such a way that it looks EFFORTLESS, very graceful, or totally controlled. I feel that in order for people to advance to more difficult and strength demanding moves, they really need to MASTER the basic tricks first. That will build up their muscle tone and endurance so that they are really strong enough to attempt the more advanced tricks, without getting hurt or pulling a muscle that isn’t strong enough to support. Making up routines with all of the basics are great for beginners, since it teaches them how to link moves together to create a seamless, fluid flowing routine, and trains their cardiovascular endurance. Strengthening and flexibility exercises are great tools for everyone, especially beginners, so maybe try doing half of the session with those exercises (core toning, upper body strength, flexibility) and the other half making up a routine to get them to link moves on their own? You could also start having them freestyle with a whole song (very challenging for beginners) and see how much they retain and can perform without a lot of struggling. I hope this helps! Good luck!
