Congrats! I know I was stoked when I got mine so good luck and have fun! Just PLEASE! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif Clean off ALL that junk off the pole, where you screw it together. Be meticulous, take it down and put it back up if you have to. I haven’t been able to undo my pole and it SUCKS so much. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif Well have fun! I hope to see your first video! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Thanx. I’m going to call x-pole but how does that banging technique work? Anyone know? I might as well try that too.

Aww! I want to do this challenge! But I just splurged on the pole so the video camera won’t be for a while. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif This one looks like sooo much fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif That and I’m not great at any tricks yet so this challenge would let me have fun and not be self conscious about how much I suck… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Well, I’m a beginner but here’s what I got
(1) How long do you practice? About an hour and a half
(2) How often do you practice? three times a week but I hope to bring that up to five times a week
(3) Do you just freestyle or do you have a plan of action? Both. I generally start a practice with a couple things I want to try but I also play around to get in the mood and get amp’d. Then I throw in a couple tricks I KNOW I can’t do to keep myself motivated.
(4) Do you stretch before, after or before & after practicing? Before and after. Sometimes I don’t stretch before, but I know how bad it is. So DON’T do it. I’ve strained a muscle because I was too eager to hop on the pole and get started.
(5) Do you incorporate any strength training & conditioning exercises into your practices? I learned some exercises to do while on the pole so I do some of that every practice. But I hit the gym 4 times a week for about 2 hrs. I do alot of weights and cardio. I’m targeting my arms because I have NO upper body strength, and this is important for alot of inverts that I want to do.
(6) Do you self-teach, take classes, or both? I self teach, I watch some vids on the internet to try some moves. I have also stopped by some exotic clubs just to watch technique and see how others perform some moves. I wish classes were available in South Texas but nope. If there were I’d take ’em. There is a huge difference between watching someone do a move on the computer and having someone critique you and give you advice.
Hope that helped! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

Thanx for the book recommendations. There are NO Classes available where I’m from South Texas. I’m going to order my X Pole and Get started but I’m pretty much on my own… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif I just wish to get half as good as these ladies. Very inspiring every1! Thanx again Sacha!

Anyone know where I can buy Jamilla’s Art of Pole? Is that the exact title?
