    The pole specialist is Danielle. I have seen her perform in Vegas. I believe she recently won Polapalooza. Can you imagine pole dancing next to MJ?

    Definitely check Craigslist! I got a massive 4’x7′ mirror for $30 on Craigslist!

    Also, I got great deals on wide full length mirrors at Lowes. I tried Home Depot but Lowes had better prices.

    Good luck!

    I too am a crystal user and have been for a couple years now. Once I started doing more armpit holds I noticed more deodorant marks on the pole. Its pretty embarrassing when someone can see your spiral of deodorant sludge wrapping the pole like a candy cane stripe! Plus, once you leave that on the pole and it gets all over your hands and body- it just makes long performances slippery. SO, I started using the crystal on pole days and I love it! No odor AND no streaks!

    I haven’t had the problem of it not working but maybe that is because I try to only use it on pole days and regular stick deodorant on non pole days? Maybe the combo of the two helps? Anyway, I believe it to be the perfect solution for polers. Its expensive but it lasts forever. I only recently bought a new one because I dropped the last one and it broke.

    I have taken PCP’s Level 1 cert for BOTH pole and exotic dance and as a 15 yr veteran of pole dancing- I truly don’t believe I would be the teacher that I am today without the certification. I am AFAA PT cert and hold about 9 other 1 day or weekend workshop certs such as Yoga, Perinatal Fitness, Pilates etc. NONE of them were as educational as the week long PCP teacher training.

    I believe you get what you pay for w/ PCP. YogaFit weekend courses are nothing like 200hr Yoga certifications which is what I believe you should take in order to truly call your self Yoga Certified. Same thing goes for a weekend or online pole cert- they just don’t compare w/ the PCP program. When I started contemplating a cert, I did my research. I found Shawn to have to credentials I was looking including being an exotic dancer. As a 15 yr vet of the stage, I sure as hell wasn’t going to give my $ to someone who have never been on one!

    I started off slow until I built trust in Shawn by just doing her pole safety weekend course. I immediately was hooked on her teaching style and methods that I signed up for the next scheduled level 1 Pole Cat Power Method and Slinky Cat level 1 training that she scheduled. Shawn focuses on teacher training and spent 4 years putting together her program so yes, I IS WORTH IT!!!!
