Veena, I just read what you wrote!!! My first pole did that, and I called the store I bought it from and they replaced it for free, and the second one did the exact same thing. it sucks!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif unfortunatly  i've gotten used to avoiding that spot. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

I'm very close to have saved for my tg 45mm xpert https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I have a pink dance pole too… its not a "partypole" but a similar type. I have tile floor and bought a toilet flange that fit the base and had my boyfriend drill into the tile, and another brace on top with extra bolts around the actual base which has bolts too. its loud, and doesn't spin however i'm never afraid it's going to come down, and the grip is awesome (:

I have this problem too, like by the end of m 1 hr class.. my shins will be sweating to where its impossible to climb. I bring a towel too but don't like to use grip aids. I have a pair of gloves but really onle use them for cartwheels at the end of class.

I wondered if i just sweat too much? but i think the hydration thing may also be a problem for mee.. i really should drink more water.. hm.

Then again I do live in S florida and the average temp right now seems to be around 90 degrees, but the class is set at 71. i wish it didn't effect m daning thi much, and its a recent thing  for me too…

Haha, Chem.. Church is a good one! I try to pole anywhere/everywhere that has a pole i can (almost) fit my hands around haha

[VeeRose]

Yay 😀 we are all normal people outside of our obsessions with pole! hahaha,

Wellll, I work as a medical scribe/medical assistant in an ophthalmologists office. fun stuff. I am also a full time student currently with a pre-med major. My ultimate goal is to become a Physician's Assistant who is secretly an awesome pole dancer aha <3

I have had my belly ring for years and it has a dangle component and have never had a problem with it and i am rather agressive with my moves.. inverts etc.

Can someone put a link to her Facebook page with the pictures? i can't find…

I agree with Pegasus, and personally I would rather pole WITH people. i love when my boyfriend is around because i can show him the new things I am working on and what i've learned recently. its becomes more of an interactive thing for both of you to be happy about , (and him more to be happy becuase you are happy), I totally understand what you mean.. i think I am addicted to poling but i don't pole everyday i get sore otherwise and can't perform to my full potential but i do talk about it all the time, so i get it, but work it in like a normal thing and it will become that (:

at home i have a powder coated pole, which is great for grip, sometimes too grippy, but at the studio i attend they have the chrome xpoles and i am forever wiping it down and sliding if i haven't just wiped it down, it is annoying but its not unesable, as veena said.. just something to get used to.. i sweat (live in south fl & its usually 85+ degrees) so i wish i could try a stainless!

[VeeRose]

thank you ladies! i have added both of you(:

[VeeRose]

I have always had a special interest in pole dancing

but feeeeling yourself, seeeeing yourself progress is such a great feeling.

i am stronger than I have ever been because poling is so fun and makes you want to be better, stronger, and to hold the moves longer, do more than you could have ever imagined. 

and i hope you decide to begin a very long, painful, but extremely rewarding and exciting journey!

p.s. hope this helps!

I totally understand, I was "street poling" the other day on a super random, super perfect pole on the side of the road while my boyfriend was skating, and a cop pulls up and was just so rude to me. and like you said i was only doing maybe a pole sit and a butterfly and she judged me so hard and acted like i was just begging for attention and now i had it, pretty much ruined my day for awhile and if i was kicking around a soccer ball she never would have stopped…… dissappointing how shallow and judgemental people can be.

My belly button healed within 2 weeks, but i put peroxide on it. they say not to however i find it does quicken the healing process and have quite a few piercings and have never had a problem with any of them on the pole except shortly after i got my nipples pierce, i hit the pole and yes that hurt. however im just being more careful now and no problems. 

An LOOOOVEEE those belly rings !!!! ahhhhhhhh

[VeeRose]

yeah i do p90x and rather enhoy it. i guess mostly because they have you doing something else every day, there is yoga involved which i love. and i think insanity is just like 9p90x maybe minus the weights, but correct me if im wrong. maybe you should try Hip Hop Abs (;
