I am thinking about ordering a Meluna Cup. They got better critics than DivaCup in most forums I read. It is a product from Germany, and it comes in classic and soft, and in 3 sizes! Has anyone of you heard about it?? http://meluna.eu/?___store=english&___from_store=deutsch

I will tell you what I think about ti when I've tried it 🙂

Someone please help me!

I purchased Brook Notary's workshop (fri, 10-11:30) – so far so good. But in the confirmation email, at the very end, it says "All workshops held at: NY Pole Dancing
215 W. 84th St #806"

I thought NY Poledancing was situated at 333 West, 52nd Street, Suite 806! I don't understand this, please, please help me! Many thanks in advance

I agree with Kobajo. If you learn on a 50mm pole, you'll be able to perform on 45mm or 38mm pole easily, because tightening your grip is always easier than loosening it for a bigger pole. I also prefer it for leg hangs and things like the Teddy! If you can do it on the 50, you can do it anywhere. But if you do it on a 45 only, it will be hard to change to a 50mm if you should ever want to do that. This is why I bought a 50mm – I want to be able to pole on every pole that's out there, if I feel the need to it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

(Did this sound weird? I guess … hahaha)

I'll be at Marlo's and Kyra's classes on Saturday morning! Yay!

I hope you didn't give my tickets away 😉

I just wanted to say, I like it very much that in my studio there are always 2 girls per pole. This way, poles stay warm, and you get a little rest between trying to get a move done. Also, you can help each other, with spotting and holding the other girl. An instructor has to keep her eyes open, but seriously, she can't watch everybody all the time, having only 2 eyes https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Weekend workshops with the stars are great, if you can get them to come!

I personally like the 6 week programme. The instructors can get to know their students better if they come every week, and thus knoe their problems and strength better.

I totally agree with you, Cali. Their show was neither very "pole" nor very good. I don't know why their routine was so … well, let's just say it, lame, they could have done better. It wasn't a good picture of pole dance either. Well, they're dismissed anyway, aren't they?

hi selene, i use my normal photocamera for the videos. it is by olympus, and it does the job quite well 🙂

Thank you very much! I am from Austria, Europe, so the only chance for me is to get them online. Ordering them online from the US would be at least as expensive as buying them there rightaway, I guess. I'll have a look at these shops if I can make it there 🙂

What I like about the Xpole is, that they don't come in one piece. You can always order extensions to make it fit in a new home (with lil mynx and pussycat you'd have to order a new pole if the new room is higher or lower than the one you'd originally bought it for), and if you take it down, the pieces are no longer than 1m. This means, you can store it under the bed easily!

Another big plus of Xpoles is, that you don't need to fix it to floor and/or ceiling, and that the upper piece (as well as the lower, of course) is big enough so it can't slip and crash down. The "foot" and "head" of the other poles seem less trustworthy to me. I ordered the Xpole Xpert with an even bigger upper dome, to have the least risk of my pole crashing down. (You've probably seen the pole fail videos on youtube…)

thank you, i'll definitely be watching this next week!

Runemist, do you think it would help if I sent you one of my choreographies?  It might be a bit hard to understand, because you might not know what I mean with some of the names (e.g., you don't have a "backbend" here on SV, do you?) – but if you like, just send me your emailaddress and I'll send it to you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
