Lainey C: 'rubbing alcohol' can be one of two things, but it normally refers to isopropyl alcohol. You can buy it in electronics stores like Maplins – it's used for cleaning grease off computer components. Boots sell it too, but you might need to ask at the pharmacy counter.

Came across these while looking for gym shorts on eBay and immediately thought of pole dancing (!), wondered if anyone might find them suitable?

I’ve always thought of it this way:
Does anyone criticise ballet dancers for using pointe shoes? Of course not! Because without the pointe shoes, they wouldn’t be able to do several beautiful movements.
Of course you can dance ballet in soft shoes, just as you can dance on a static pole only. And both can be stunning.
But using a spinning pole allows the dancer to create different effects – a pose held on a static pole, like Scorpio for instance, has a very different visual effect when it’s rotating. It’s not cheating, it’s using the equipment to create a new range of moods, movements and feelings. And that’s nothing to look down on.

Terpsichore was one of the 9 Greek muses. She’s the muse of dance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I just spell it differently because my real name’s Kath and so I like the letter K, haha.

Hello there! I’m in Witham. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif (Although I’m not a poler yet…living with my parents at the minute.)
I always find it weird when I find out people I’ve met online live near me. It makes me think that I could have walked past you guys in Chelmsford town centre any number of times and never known. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif -
That’s brilliant! Hee hee, we could be a double act!
Yours sounds better than mine though. Sticky Sycamore. It kinda trips off the tongue. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

take your very first pets name and follow it with the name of the first street you lived in!
That would make me… Squelch Sycamore.
That method really wasn’t designed for girls who had pet frogs, was it? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I swear by a yoga pose called Cobra Pose, which involves lying on your stomach and arching your back. You start by just lifting a few inches, and as you get more flexible you can arch more. I have scoliosis (wonky spine!) which makes me really stiff, but practicing this pose for a few months improved my bendiness no end. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks guys – unfortunately our garage contains three drum kits, four timpani and a glockenspiel, so that’s out of the question! I thought about the stage poles, but living in England I’d probably only get about 4 days of use a year out of it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif.
I think I’ll get an X-pole since I’ve got enough room here to do spins at least, and work on my strength ready for inverting. By the time I move out my parents’ and into somewhere with a higher ceiling (first on my list of priorities when house-hunting!), I’ll be raring to go. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
