I take a chair dance class sometimes, and we don't always do full choreography. There are some classes where we just learn specific cool moves that are difficult, so it takes a whole class to work on them. Other times we focus heavily on working out on the chair, not dancing (i.e. putting feet on the chair and doing pushups). Sometimes we will practice "sexy walking" to our chairs, and might have a walk-off between each other. I don't think you need to do a full routine every class, that seems hard!

I agree with everyone else – As long as you don't mind spending the extra money, I'd definitely get the xpert. Even if you don't use spinning mode now, you probably will eventually!

These are hardly lessons (not a replacement for Veena!) but a great resource if you just need to see how the move looks. http://poledancedictionary.com/moves/

Shopgirl, do you work for Kyodan…

Could you post a link of the shorts you get from discount dance? There are so many, I don't know which to choose

I also find great deals at local dance studios – Places that sell leotards, tutus, etc. They usually have a section of 'booty shorts' that work perfect for pole, and are around 10-15$

Here here Chem! That's how I justify my diet coke addiction. Of all the bad things I could do, surely a little aspartame here and there won't be too bad

There is nothing wrong with drinking while eating. Many dieticians recommend it because you feel fuller faster.

Is the pole up to your crotch when you do the sit? If it's not far up enough, I find I fall more. Your strongest muscles are the ones at the top of your thigh, so the pole really needs to be right on your kitty for you to be able to use all the strength you have in your legs!

I like to brew herbal tea, ice it in a pitcher, and drink that (Herbal teas are naturally caffeine free). My favorites are celestial seasonings blueberry and peach. Makes water taste delicious, and its healthy!

My instructor also had us pull on our crossed foot to make the grip tighter, until we got really comfortable with the laying back part. Once we were, then we did it without pulling the foot. It helped me get over the "Oh my gosh I'm about to fall on my head" fear

In my opinion, this move takes little strength, and is mostly an overcoming fear type thing. You're just holding with the inside of your thigh. Took me a while to get it, as i was afraid to just drop back like her.

Belladonna, do you have any pictures of shoes you've glittered with this method?
