what is the emotion?

fyi, stripperweb.com has a TON of threads about just about everything related to the industry, including resources and tips for new dancers…

thanks!

lol @ naming your roller. 🙂
(I love all of your lessons too!)

That is really a shame though that that happened to you. It's probably true that she was in the circus – she says in an interview she started in the circus at a young age and that's how she came to the US. Apparently she worked with Cirque du Soleil for a while. Here's the link to the interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me9nezJIKNk&feature=related

wow. I youtubed her name and "pole dance" and the video I got was pretty dirty – at one point she stuck the heel of her shoe in her mouth and started sucking on it….gross.

I met Felix Cane briefly last fall at a competition where she judged and gave a guest performance – I hadn't even been poling for very long but she has been my idol since before I even started classes! I totally know where you're coming from – she was taking pictures with a bunch of people and I really wanted to get one, but I didn't want to barge into the group. I ended up waiting a lot longer than I probably needed to for other people to finish talking and taking pictures because I was so nervous. My boyfriend was with me and he finally convinced me to just go up to her and get the picture. I really wanted to introduce myself better and tell her what a great performance she gave but everything felt so rushed and I was a little chicken. It was the coolest thing though and definitely one of the highlights of my year! 🙂

I personally can't wait for a routine builder, but I hear the pole dictionary has that in the works and it might come out in a couple months!

sorry, I might just be ignorant but I've never heard of anyone doing this… is there a special significance behind the bangle being permanent? it sounds really inconvenient not to be able to remove it, especially if it's really painful to get on in the first place

hahaha ewwww….
but that's still really cool! I've always wanted to try silks… 🙂

I struggled with this one quite a bit too. What finally helped me to tip back was when someone said to drop my head. When you get to the tuck position, tilt your head back (your hips should follow) and look at the wall behind you. As you do so, straighten your arms and extend your legs. Keep your legs straight and your toes pointed if you can; for some reason I find that certain moves feel more stable when I have some tension in my body, and it's good for practicing form. If you're tilting your head but still aren't getting it, make sure you're not just bending your neck; dropping your head should help your hips move up towards the pole – think of yourself as a seesaw. Also make sure you're straightening your arms as you lean back – when I was learning it this was the scariest part because I was afraid of slipping, but really helps to get your hips up.
I know how frustrating it can be when you know you have enough strength to do a move and it's just not working. I hope this helps – let me know when you get it! 🙂

Thanks! I'll definitely be getting Super Blue Stuff then. I didn't even think to check Kroger.
And I've tried arnica gel (I also have Arnicare) too – for some reason I don't really seem to notice much difference whether I use it or not…maybe I just need to keep trying because it seems like everyone is in love with it!

When that one woman said something like, they don't have to be working out on a stripper pole – you can take your children to a playground instead, it made me want to howl at how ridiculous her points were. Seriously? One of the other women had just made the point that you also find poles on playgrounds. So as long as a pole is in a certain location, THAT's what determines whether or not playing on it is okay???
Pure ignorance.

yes, please post a link! 😀
