    I bought the xstage lite for my first pole and now wished I didnt have the metal stage on the bottom to contend with. I love floor work as well and love transitions from floor to pole and moves coming off the pole into splits etc. not fun with the stage. Its also NOT as convenient to move around and transport and advertised. In fact I have owned mine a year and have never moved it. I am keeping it however now buying a Veena pole. Something to think about.

    Thanks so much ladies for the response, and yes I went ahead and bought 6 privates, I took my first one on Monday. WELL worth the money. My favorite part of the whole hour was the last 2 minutes I showed the instructor my shoulder mount and she actually said it was good. I knew I could do it! I just needed the security of having someone stand next to me, and once I was inverted she carefully instructed me into an inverted crucifix and she told me to release my legs slightly and I gracefully slid down to floor… I was ecstatic….. thank you Annie!

    Wow! Thanks everyone for the feedback and ideas. I decided on a couple big huge Walmart mirrors to place freestanding on floor vs. small tiles. Cheap, versatile, and no work cleaning up wall when home goes on the market. Per hubby. 🙂 thank you lovelies.

    Me again. Googled Ikea mirror tiles and looks like a good idea. Any thoughts? I'm currently obsessed with this project 🙂

    I really liked the studio in Kirkland called Divine Movement, but what I don't care for is that they require you to take pole 101 which is once a week for 6 weeks with absolute beginners I am talking about girls that are still at the stage of being embarrassed about even being there, then you can move on to more advanced classes. I have been a dancer  for 3 years in a gentlemans club and although my stages are mainly floor, I definitely have enough experience to be placed in a more difficult class. I also found that it is extremely difficult to find a class that fits my schedule, and they are all FULL. I purchased a block of pole drop in classes however those don't count towards the prerequisite for advancing to intermediate and advanced levels. I have an X stage lite in my home, and have learned many cool things from Veena however it would be nice to have a spotter and some feedback from a pro. Oh, and one more thing, don't bother sending divinemovement an email, they do NOT respond. Why bother offering that option?? Just saying… Enjoy the Seattle Sun my lovelies…..
