AGREED. I thought exactly the same thing! There should be an option for active stretching. Or for stretching for flexibility vs. maintaining.

Okay…so in looking for examples of a deadlift in action, I found this one of Felix Cane (super bendy!) and she does a lift at 1:57 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5G1jRJo9ek&list=FL5PM1t28sq000H6d5N0V3Pw&index=72. She starts out closer to the pole with her hands wraped around the base, but her biceps do not appear to be parallel with the pole as she lifts her legs – so I guess my question is, is this also still improper form, and does it really matter if they're not exactly parallel during the lift as long as you take the weight off your head and align everything once your legs are up? Is there a danger in this?

Can someone check out my form? I just uploaded a video to my profile ("elbow stand deadlift?") and I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem.
I wrote this in the description but I'll copy it here:
Am I doing this right? Should my elbows be directly underneath my shoulders (bent at a 90 degree angle) while I lift up? They look like they're too bent to me and I thought that might mean that my weight is too far behind me and I'm falling into the pole, but my legs are already up before my back actually hits the pole and my hips appear to be stacked, so I'm not sure…

i agree with polefairy – "liking" a comment is so easy I feel like it might replace commenting in certain places, and i know if you're on the receiving end it's much nicer to get a nice compliment 🙂
-
just nailed it by the way – your video was really helpful! thanks Veena!
-
yes! thanks so much!!! 😀
-
@miamishyner – thanks!
@verucablue – that's awesome! I've always wondered about aerial yoga. best of luck with your studio! sooo exciting 🙂 and thanks for the link, those manuals look really cool…I'll try to check those out!

Nope, no rigging and almost no experience besides pole which is why I was curious about the other aerial arts (my studio only offers pole and lyra regularly and the lyra class conflicts with my schedule)… 🙁

Wow randomgurlie that sounds like some great advice – I love the idea of having a dvd as a resume! Just curious – I know all venues are different and it depends on the city, length of performance, and a lot of other factors, but roughly how much money could you make by performing at an event? I've never done it before so i have no idea…
-
Does anyone know when it will be? I couldn't find dates on the website but I might have missed something…I have no idea yet if I would be able to go but I want to so badly!!!

I just wrote a blog about something that happened to me yesterday involving facebook comments and the pole stigma issue. if you're interested you can read it here: http://thepoleplace.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/stripper-shoes-and-facebook/
