I agree. I’m an accountant. So one could say ethics, etc, anything really. Unfortunately people will be closed minded. I’ve recently come out the pole closet with my family and they were all very supportive even bragging on me. Much to my surprise. You never know how some will perceive it and some will never get it unless they open their minds and actually watch a performance or try it. I recently had an overly zealous friend tag me on my FB page. It made me realize I wanted a separate page just for pole. I talk about it too much and would love to share videos with friends that are interested. I’m going to invite people to befriend me/like my other page. That way if you’re interested look and if not please deny. Dont know if that helps. Just wanted to chime in that having a separate page doesn’t necesarily mean you’re denying yourself 🙂

you won’t regret it. I just got one. And although my Xpert is my fav (bc I live in an apt and don’t want to bother my neighbors with late night poling), you don’t have to worry about setting it up anywhere – outside, at the beach, wherever!

I have a 45mm XSport. It’s static and does not have the spin option.

Thank you all so much!! Webmaster and Yuengling I just saw the video! That was scary when it lifted right off the floor. Charley thanks again! I’m going to post a new thread looking for an X-stage. My other poles are Xpole but the legs was what was turning me off. But I think I’m going to have to go with safety! Thanks to all for the input!!!

*Charley ….sorry for the misspelling 🙂

Thanks Charly, I want to be able to crazy tricks and lots of combos, photoshoots, practice, you name! I want to get my money’s worth. The only reason I was leaning towards PS b/c of the review that was on Youtube. With that being said, how is the stability of the pole in your opinion WITHOUT those extended feet sticking out?

I’m hoping to “bump” this thread. I am currently looking a stand alone/ stage pole. Preferably a 45 and I’m leaning towards Platimum Stages. I have a 45 sport that I would be willing to trade also. Mine is a 45 chrome X Sport (it does not spin). It’s barely used with all parts, including carrying case.

I just followed everybody! I haven't been posting pics but am going to change that in the near future. I just came out the pole closet Sunday. lol @esish

I'm in the same boat as you. Although you don't want to hear it….you should just go for it! I'm a strong believer of mind over matter. You can talk yourself into failing something that you totally CAN DO! It won't be easy to randomly "perform" without music for almost 3 minutes but I say try it one night you have 10 minutes to yourself. And then decide. Good luck!

I'm so glad I read this. Have been going to a chiropractor w/ medical massage. I finally confessed my extracurricular activities…she recommended I stop until I was all worked out. I politely declined and I'm so glad I did. I see now it wouldn't have done any good b/c I would've messed myself back up anyways! There are just something it takes a pole dancer to understand.

Go to TML Fitness in Raleigh! It's in the Brier Creek area across from Angus Barn. The classes are all reasonably priced. Sometimes you can even catch a deal on Groupon. The instructors are great and any class you take with Karen will be hip-hop inspired! Plus there is a hip-hop pole class on Saturdays!

This is a great idea! Very admiral of you and SV to be able to give to someone else and take it a step further to do it! I would love to be able to take lessons online. But I really can't afford it. However, I am fortunate enough to have 4 studios in my area that consistently offer Groupon/ Living Social deals. So I am able to take classes a few times a month. I'm sure the girls that don't have that luxury will really appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity. GOOD LUCK to all the applicants!

I'm natural myself. And I LOVED wigs before I even made that decision 2 years ago. Wigs are a great option (especially for protective styling) but you need to be comfortable in them to pull it off. Just make sure you have bobby pins for those inverts! But anyways, I did find that it was harder to feel sexy with short hair. And it really showed in my dancing. Videos I have with straight hair just ooze sexy in my movement. I later figured that it was not having hair movement when doing "hair flips and head rolls" (they look crazy on me w/o some movement). So I tried my big "Kelly Rowland" natural-style big afro curly-kinky wig and noticed my dancing was SO SEXY. It also help hide my face a little too so you couldn't see all the ackward faces I sometimes make when dancing. So I say all that to say. You are probably just missing your "hang time". Pin point exactly what it is and go from there. B/c if you don't FEEL sexy, it won't be sexy.
