I would not like Poledancing to be in the Olympics. I agree with everyone of the above who doesn't! I think it would make things a lot more difficult for "normal people", it would become a sport for gymnasts only. Or do you know anybody who started taking classes at Rhythmic Gymnastics at the age of 45? Neither do I.
I like the fact that everybody, no matter what age or size, can participate in this wonderful sport called pole dancing! And it's dancing, after all, not only inverts and those very sporty things. All this would change so much if it became a part of the Olympic Games. Don't like. Not at all.
Sure, I might change the opinion of some prude and unknowing people towards "vertical gymnastics" or whatever they'd call it then – but would it change their attitude towards us, the everday normal girl wanting to work out and having fun? We'd still be looked at as sluts and strippers, not being 14 and/or extremely skinny, but working out at home, with the pole standing in our house. OMG, it's in the bedroom?? You pervert! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
And I completely agree with one of the ladies above who stated, that other forms of dance such as ballet don't need to be in the Olympic Games to be great and to be highly appreciated in the world. BTW, did you know that the WALTZ was actually considered to be objectionable for a very long time? Things take their time, for God's sake. Poledancing has come up as a sport only in the last 10 years or so – why hurry!

some girls from my class suffer from repeatingly coming tendonitis/tendovaginitis (i found both words in the dictionary, don't know which is more common). i'm afraid of getting it, too – do you think the powerball could help preventing it? or would you say it is more likely to make tendonitis come more quickly …?

I too know the Black Widow as a Reverse Attitude (SV name). To me, the move mentioned by Svarri is known as a Basket https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

gin or vodka doesn't matter, you can use any other sort of more or less sugarfree clear schnaps. 🙂
many like to use window cleaner or, like lovebug said, nail polish remover with acetone – personally, i would refrain from using them, because they can harm you (allergic reactions etc) if you've got sensitive skin.

Don't worry, the pain (and also bruises) is normal. It will go away as you do this move more often, and will come back if you stop doing it for a couple of weeks. As you improve with poling and go on doing more advanced stuff, you'll get more bruises on parts of your thighs that hurt even more – but it's worth it!

I've never used acetone, but I'd just go with plain vodka. Cleans the pole very well, and can't do any harm to it.

I agree with Kiki, putting some carpet AROUND would be easier and perhaps even better.
I suggest you buy a big piece of carpet or even some kind of plastic mat at the DIY-store, and cut it in from one side to the center to be able to place it around the pole when it's already standing. You can fix it at the sides on the floor with good double sided tape, so it won't slip easily – although I don't think it would be a problem if it even did slip at little bit.
You should be able to choose from several kinds of carpet at the store, make sure you chose something that won't tear the skin of your knees when practising floorwork 😉

THANK YOU, VEENA! I https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif you! This tutorial is great, I'm SO going to try this!!

@polkadot: well, you've tried everything else … but there's one thing you haven't! Go to Google, type in "free youtube to mp3", and download the programme (DVD Video Soft is quite a good one I heard). -> With it you can download any song from youtube that you can't buy anywhere! For free! I, too, have used it for some songs I am not able to buy in Europe. I don't want to do any advertising here, for it's free anyway, and yes, it's kind of illegal I guess. But sometimes it's the last chance, and it works https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I think there is only the 50mm version. But I've heard many good things about rpoles, which are not attached to the ceiling as well. Take a look at their website, perhaps you like 38mm even better 🙂

MemberJanuary 29, 2011 at 2:07 pm in reply to: How often do you record your pole work?this post is actually why i uploaded a new video to studioveena! i record myself almost never, but i think i should do it everytime i'm practising (mostly with a friend) to be able to spot where i have to improve, or what actually looks nicer than i thought https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
also, i like it that when i cut a video for uploading, i look at it more closely than when just watching it without doing anything to it. i am even less tolerant with what looks good then https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_viking.gif
