One of the other issues with parties though – the studio may not allow it (the insurance is insane) but I have seen quite a lot where the girls turn up already well and truly tanked… It is a difficult thing to work around, but parties are good money for a studio too

She is also one of the nicest and most genuine people you could meet. And an amazing instructor – we are very lucky to have her as our advanced instructor at my studio 🙂 🙂 🙂

I am from Oz and living over here now, don’t worry just yet – it can take anywhere from a week to 5 weeks to get across here – depends on where they shipped it from and what method they used, and then what method is used once it lands in America…
If you go onto the website of the company they shipped it with (whether it be Auspost or whatever) you should be able to see at least when it left Oz? Sorry I can’t be more helpful

I am not going to be very helpful on this one, because I have the same question – that, or does anyone use a tablet to record themselves?

Hi Tine,

I wear a M in badkitty bottoms, and a L in bad kitty tops, and I am a M/L in Mika and I wear a 6 in Light activewear bottoms and a 6-8 in tops – they are really quite forgiving clothing, and the ladies on the other end can verify exactly what size you would be if you want to send them your measurements. They can also help with suggestions with body type – ie, what tops give more support, what pants are higher or lower rise etc. Or I can, because I own a lot of their stuff teehee.

I find it easier on spinning personally, especially when going forward into the invert, but also looks pretty going backwards into the invert 🙂

[Koidragon]

Everyone is different, but generally speaking the outside leg is the more difficult one to keep straight, so if you are working towards having both legs straight, I would suggest having the outside leg bent and inside straight for say, 5 inversions, then try reversed for a couple more to build up. Make sure you practice inverting both sides 🙂 You should also do floor exercises on engaging your legs and pointing your toes (if you aren’t already). Spinning or static, one of the biggest keys is that you engage everything – core, quads, butt etc. Hope that helps 🙂

I use wrist wraps (fabric- like strength wraps) as I have chronic tendonitis in my wrists from years of abuse. All they really do for me is act as a slight support and a reminder to keep my wrists straight and engaged – I wouldn’t recommend them by any means for people who don’t need them, as I think it is better to not rely on aides if you don’t need to, but they do give me just that little bit of support I need.

Uvagirl – I would go and get that checked out. Speaking from experience, anything like that could turnout to be something easily fixable in the early stages but be a big problem later if left unchecked…

[Koidragon]

Are you already teaching? I would suggest calling studios who have good reputations with their instructors and asking what they would suggest, or what they require from their instructors. Just a suggestion 🙂

Lightactive wear are also putting out new shorts and tops on their site in a week or so – the Bonnie are my go to shorts at the moment, but I just picked up one of their new ones (not sure of the name) that are a little longer in the hip at the top and still perfect for pole. Rylonn is right, they are pole specific clothing designs.
Onzie also do a really great short for no muffin over the hip – I think they are called the side tie?
As for polefit brand, I have the crisscross ones and the brazil – I love them, but they are very, very cheeky (as are almost all of their shorts) so just be aware of that.

[Koidragon]

The ones I have in the one size are great – I would suggest perhaps waiting a little, as they usually have a much bigger colour selection than they do currently. They also do a S/M and M/L option in some (I wear the M/L and find them a comfortable fit, not tight at all). I haven’t seen anyone wearing any and thought they are too small/big – the fabric smooth – I have no issues with muffin top etc, especially with the ones with the ties. The fabric though is really quite stretchy, but opaque.

[Koidragon]

Ha Chem, I think pole clothing is the only clothing I seem to spend any money on these days 🙂

Hey Legs 🙂
I have the following ones, and these don’t give me a cheeky bum and cover really well 🙂 A number of the other taller girls like them too.

These though, are my favourite – they don’t ride up on long torso bums (like me) but they are a little lower (without being too low) to feel a bit sexy.

I use bad kitty like suggested, and I find onzie shorts cover me very well (I am also tall) – a lot of the girls at my studio who are tall wear them as well 🙂
