exactly. just what veena said. the poles at stores like "Spencers" that sell for like $80, $100 bucks (including the carmen electra pole) are more for transition moves- like basically walking around. You can’t do anything on it. i believe that S-Factor is now selling platinum stages poles but i’d still go for an X-Pole since i had such a bad experience with a ps one. i don’t know much about lil’mynx poles to be honest- ive heard great reviews and then bad ones too. even if you’re just gonna dance around it and learn a few spins, get a safe pole and spend a little extra. id rather see you flush $100 down the toilet than buy a pole you can’t even use.

[SaschaPoles]

yeah, i still don’t think you should buy that pole gal; i really dont. id buy from x-pole to be honest. i had a platinum stages pole and wasn’t able to do anything on it because the grip was so terrible- but with my chrome x i can do anything https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif i can’t recommend that brand more- x pole x pole x pole!!! it’s more expensive but it’s so worth it in the long run. their customer service is exceptional as well.

poles, this month’s challenge is to dance to a song with a prop, and you have to interact with the prop for at least half the song. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif dont worry, my first vid up wont be that special either https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_clown.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rendeer.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_jokercolor.gif

[SaschaPoles]

[SaschaPoles]

ahhhhh!!!!!!! i cant wait to see it veena!!!! *smiles at the thought of your prop*. im going home from friday-monday (i actually have a date this weekend, omg! im nervous!) i’ll try really hard to dance some on tuesday and upload at least SOMETHING on wednesday of next week https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif btw- are we doing chat this friday?? or did it get moved??

[SaschaPoles]

then let the videos begin haha

woohoo!!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[SaschaPoles]

gal- i’ve never heard of that pole before- im a strong believer in that you get what you pay for- $99 seems too good to be true!!! i don’t think it said on there what kind of material the pole was made out of- that makes a big difference in grip- be it stainless steel or chrome or what have you. i’d do some research and ask around to see if anyone has tht specific pole. it’d be a shame if you bought it and it’s only good for dancing Around and not On you know?

[SaschaPoles]

yay! i changed my name to my pole name https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Sascha wouldn’t work, so I had to use SaschaPoles, but my stage name is Sascha https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif thanks so much poles, im thrilled right now!!

ya halloween was fun wish there was more pole parties happening just not enough girls intrested funny enough guys seem to enjoy jumping on the pole more than the girls i completely agree with that. my sisters wouldn’t go near the pole after i went on it, but my brother and dad were having a blast with it on spin mode https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

that’d be cool if you moved to a place that had a studio you could go to https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

[SaschaPoles]

by the time your attic heats up you probably aren’t in the mood to dance anymore!!!! well, thats an assumption, but i know thats how it would be for me!

i like the name camila for a stage name. i really really wish i could change my name on this site to my stagename, sascha.

thats so cool about halloween, that sounds like so much fun!

[SaschaPoles]

I do find it’s good music for some people that use poling to bring out their inner bad girl though because it’s stuff they never would normally listen to so I think it makes them feel that much naughtier. ahhhhh!! i completely agree. my friends all laugh at me because i look like the kind of person who would be listening to nursery rhymes and soft gentle music, but i definitely rock out to harder stuff too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif thats awesome!

[SaschaPoles]

When I get my tax return I’m gunna get a video camera yay!!!! im glad, cuz i raced out to buy one when i really shouldn’t have, so im glad someone else is getting a video camera!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

i feel a little better not being the only one who is not going to be able to make a blockbuster video with fancy editing hahahaha, no worries- mine wont be that special either; i’ll be lucky if i can get the music to match up with the video in the first place!

i cant wait to hear constructive criticism too, this will be fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

[SaschaPoles]

im the same way pole-pet, i can see the routines in my head and they’re perfect but reality doesn’t match up with what i envisioned. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif we’ll get there!

[SaschaPoles]

yay!!! i cant wait to see the vid!!!! its gonna take me awhile to post a vid- now that schools started up (first day, have mad homework already)- and internship and work and going home the next two weekends that it’ll take me awhile https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif more time to practice for it though right? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[SaschaPoles]

i just kind of throw myself at the pole LOL i pictured something like scarlett o’hara THROWING herself into the pole in a fit of drama.

how do you guys feel about the bruises you’ve gotten from practicing? when i first started i was like, "OH YEAH!!! MY TROPHY BRUISES! I EARNED THESE SUCKERS!" but now sometimes I get embarassed by them- like, "damn! that shouldn’t be happening anymore!"

brain is saying "LetsGo!!!!" body is saying "No Way" i love that, it’s so true!!

thats so true about being in the mood for it vs doing it just to do it- last night i wasn’t really feeling it but knew i had enough time to practice so i did it- maybe that’s why it was such a poor session. good luck finding cute outfits! i bet you anything halloween costume stores have major sales right now since its after the holidays and they probably need to get rid of stuff. the right music will make the entire pole session for me, i mainly dance in booty shorts and a sports bra just for more skin to stick on the pole; if i was dancing for someone i think its sexy to strip out of everyday clothes for some reason. maybe eventually ill get into outfits.
