I would love to see some sort of video of different uses for foam rollers =)

Just tried it, and I like it! I definitely need a little game of some sort to help remember stuff like that =)

Thanks guys. I don't want it removed completely I just want it a little lighter. I was hoping to just lighten it up a bit then reapply if necessary to bring it back to a not gross color =)
Looks like I'll be patch testing the Color Oops =)

I definitely added in my interviews that I did Aerial Fitness… when pushed further I would say "Ya know, aerial silks, hoop, pole, that sort of thing. It's basically a gymnastic dance."

I wonder if you know if the henna you've worked with is PURE henna? I have heard tons and tons of horror stories about mainstream henna that has added metallic salts and other reactionary chemicals, and every time people use it and try to dye their hair at all with it they have complications. But what I use is pure henna, and from everyone else who's used it I hear that it is fine to dye over it, though I expect some brassy undertones from the plant dye if I try to lighten it. I will definitely be doing a sample test before I try to do anything with my whole head (better safe than sorry), but I don't want to spend the money on Color Oops if it's really just bleach I need to use to lighten it.
I don't think I've ever met a stylist who has REALLY looked into the henna I use, I would *love* it if I could finally talk to a professional about it who has done the research. If you DO want to learn more about what I use, go HERE:

Oh and good luck and welcome to a world of pole addiction!

If you do a basic search through the forums you will find countless threads about this topic!
For starters, I suggest getting either a Platinum Stages pole or an X pole – they are sort of the standards for high-quality SAFE poles. There are lots of options on your pole –
Spin/Static/Both – Static is what I think *most* people start out using, but it is nice if you can find a pole that has the option to spin AS WELL.
Size – The diameter of your pole can differ as well – 50mm was the initial standard but I've seen more and more people opting for a 45mm. Either is find, I feel like it is easier to get a good grip around a 45mm but anything requiring armpit or kneepit holds are easier on a 50mm.
Finish – Here's the big one… Different finishes will have different levels of grip. In general, Brass is your most grippy pole. It makes me feel like superman when I get on a brass pole. I have stainless steel which is probably the most slippy pole, but I did that because I know if I can hold a move on that pole then I shouldn't have trouble holding the same move anywhere else. There are other finishes that range in between the two, including Chrome and Titanium Gold. Again, look through other forum posts as there is a lot of info about the different finishes =)

Does anyone have experience with Henna hair dye? I was looking into lightening my hair as it has gotten to a pretty dark shade from my henna but I am always nervous to even look at bleach. Does anyone know if the Color Oops would work on Henna dyed hair?

Loved the documentary, got emotional at the end, and of course motivated to get movin'!

i will definitely pick a song or a theme first (usually song first but I did once decide I just had to dress up as Poison Ivy so had to find the music to fit). Once I've got my song I will free dance to it for a while, recording every session and keeping clips of all the things that seemed to work really well. I will start a document with a list of moves I'd love to use and start a little spreadsheet where I type lyrics in one column and insert moves next to the lyrics when I decide I want to try to put one in a certain spot of the song…Yes, I am really that weird.
I also like to cut my song into several pieces so I can choreograph and/or practice it a little bit at a time. If it is going to have a prominent theme then I start to think about costuming during my choreography stage because maybe I want to use the costume in my dance. =)

Definitely awesome!!

@CapFeb – look up "Cell Block Tango" and Girl Next Door on youtube =)

The last time I started feeling crappy about pole I decided to try hip hop and jazz classes… it was a ton of fun and completely different for me! I definitely recommend trying something a little different if you're not in the mood to pole, and like Cali said taking a workshop with someone new is also a great way to boost your motivation =)
