I got a response pretty quick about it. Their first duplication house had technical difficulties so they decided to change to a different one, and re-run the whole mass order. They should start receiving DVD’s to distribute by next week.

Lil Mynx and Urban Fertility make crash pads for poles. I have one from Lil Mynx.

I have 6 or 7 pairs of pleaser shoes, and I love them. I have tried a few other brands, and they were not for me. I find that with Pleasers if you are a half size it is best to go one size smaller, and with heels that don’t have the ankle strap go one size smaller. They will be a little snug at first, but they will keep you from kicking off the heel mid dance. I can’t tell you how many times I have done this with heels that were slightly too big. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif The main reason why you want to go one size smaller is because of how much the plastic will stretch. At first it won’t be too apparent, but then you will notice after dancing in them for a while.

I have a\ Panasonic HDD (SDR-H60P/PC)… I went to best buy and asked for a vertually idiot proof and very simple to use camcorder, and it is easier to use then a digital camera. I love it!

Glitter, sweetie, I hate to say it, but that is the stripping industry for you. You will do well because you are curvy, but a lot of clubs have a particular body type that they want, not that they say that. I have had this same scenario happen to me over and over and over and over again. People like to say that it is more personality then looks, but that isn’t true 70% of the time. All in all your interview with the manager went very well. Have you thought of auditioning for day shift at that club? For night shift the tend to want smaller girls or hustlers… or experienced dancers…
I would say if you really want to work that club… call her back in a month, and in the mean time work on toning up. Mostly she is looking to see if you are willing to try to improve yourself. Normally when a manager/club tells you to loose weight they only mean 10-20 lbs…. unless the manager is an egotistical pig who thinks if you aren’t a coke rail of 90 lbs you shouldn’t work in the industry… If that is the case the screw it, and go somewhere else. If you choose to work in this industry you will have to have really, really thick skin. You have a great personality that will make money, but you have to have the confidence to boot, or at least fake it til you make it.
There is my 2 cents for you…

I just finished watching JK’s DVD. Wow… let me tell you it is not for beginning or intermediate dancers. It is made for advance dancers that are very, very comfortable with advance moves. She breaks down how to use momentum very clearly, which can be used in other levels of dancing, but the instructional aspect of this DVD is geared towards advanced dancers. In other words she is going on the fact that you know how to do move A, B, and C that she uses, and she teaches you how to put them all together with momentum.
In the DVD the move is demonstrated, and them a screen of required abilities to do this move will come up. Then it goes back to JK who will break it down and demonstrate the move and then it is played and broken down again in slow motion. All and all, I think it is a great DVD to add to your collection, but I don’t advise trying it until you are very comfortable with advance moves.

How were they using/refereeing to it? Flutter has a few different meanings depending on what style of dance it is used in, or activities.

It sounds really interesting. Let me know how it works for you.

I have her Pole Cat I DVD, and I really liked it. I like how she broke everything down in very clear instruction. I like her teaching style and her approach to teaching. It was been a little while sense I have used this DVD, but if you like I can review it tomorrow and let you know what specifically is there.
I should be receiving Slink, Slide, Melt in the next two weeks. I will let you know how it is.

I have to agree with alternative treatments because western medicine is for fixing the mildly sick, by studying dead bodies, and they are still practicing. I despise western medicine with a passion, and choose to practice eastern "medicine" which treats the living with regeneration. It is possible to make the brain tumor go away completely without risky surgeries and what not. I hate to advertise in anyway here, but look into Sun Rider foods. It is 5,000 years of research of food and the human body based on the principle of regeneration and balance. I, personally, have been on SR for 5 years and after my knee and a car accident I was told I wouldn’t be able to dance again (run hurdles, or any real physical actives), and I have rebuild a lot of soft tissue, bone, tendon, and ligaments that were damaged. It may be worth a try combined with what you are already doing.
I’m glad you are doing well, and I hope to see you get better.

Things that annoy me When watching other dancers:
#1… Not pointing toes. Unless on the rare occasion that something, like Argentine tango, is stylized to have a flexed foot (never women, sometimes men) feet, in my opinion, should always be pointed because it makes your legs look longer and more shapely.#2…. Walking with no stage presence, or like an elephant. Enough said there. (This is more from ballet and jazz classes)
#3)…. Not moving with the music, or music that just doesn’t go…
Bad habits of mine:
1…. I sometimes spin on my heels because I did folk dancing, and the spins that are really fast with a quick stop cannot be done in demi point.2… Getting bored and not dancing like I can. Normally done at work when I’m tired and sore, or when I think no one is paying attention.
3… Not always walking around the pole on demi point.
4… Dragging my toes when I walk, especially in heels.
I probly have a lot more that I can’t think of yet. I will find more when I can start filming.

Maybe it is just me, but I am rather leary about taking most over the counter vitamin-like stuff. The only vitamin I tend to take is a complete omega complex, found at Henry’s or Whole Foods, otherwise I take supplements from SunRider (Joi for bones, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue. Bella & Beauty pearls for my skin and to help curb depression and insomnia, etc… )

I have three naval piercings, and they have never bothered my dancing. When I first got them I would carry saline solution in a little travel size spray bottle and use that to clean them periodically through out the day. Or I would take a shot glass with warm salt water and soak it for 10-15 minutes to take away redness. Both of these methods really helped to reduce the pain of the first couple of weeks. For me after about two weeks, as long as I didn’t catch it on a friends belt, it didn’t hurt at all, even when I would bang it against the pole. A lot of people tried to scare me with stories of it would get infected, but that was never true for me. It got irritated, but that is fairly normal because your shirt will rub against it. I have had all three of mine for a year and a half, almost two, and haven’t had a problem with it and poling.

I was doing some reading in one of my course books about the benefits of physical activities. It has generally summed up everything everyone has said here, but I thought I might share…
"Finally, the psychological benefits of exercise cannot be over looked. Exercise has been associated with lower levels of anxiety and depression and a higher quality of life." -ACE GFI Manual
