Classic White Stripes …. how many girls were inspired to start pole dancing after seeing Kate Moss in this? 🙂 Actually the first spin I learned was called "the Kate Moss". (It's a basic step-around/squat and pirouette)
Oh — and yes of course Veena would have rocked this!! 🙂

Thanks Veena!! I have wanted ur lessons for ages now, but I couldn't load the samples on the home page, so didn't want to subscribe in case there was some tech issues. Now that I can see this, I know that it will work for me, AND they're awesome!! (kinda figured that already tho) I'm going to get onto this! 🙂

Yep, the tape really works!! It does come off after a while so u need to do it with each practise (or I did — I do drag my feet a lot though) It's so worth it 🙂

Hmmm….tough one — there's so many inspirational performers out there!! Idols??
I really can't go past Karol Helms. I have followed her on YT since she was a little-known club dancer who was struggling to get her splits, just like so many of us! Of course she is absolutely gorgeous to watch and SO skilled, but there remains something accessible about her style.
Also love Oona — she is so unique and completely breath-taking. I love the gymnastics influence, the way she "presents".
At the moment I am also totally loving Hsiang who I think is going to rock it! Shadskyball on YT or she also has vids on Veena.
Oh, and how could I forget Jenyne??!?! Her Pussycatdolls routine, I think from LA Pole Show 2010, was my fav.

I used to dance and know girls who dance now, and yep we definitely did our tricks! But when you're dancing 15 min stage sets, for 8 hours, obviously you have to pace yourself and can't bust out non-stop aerial antics all night!!
But the truth is most men don't really appreciate it, as some others have said they tip more when you're up-close-and-personal, not huffing and puffing somewhere up near the ceiling, your hair and make-up getting ruined as you try to pull off some amazing trick!
Also thought I'd add that from my experience, the female "customers" were often the nasty ones who were basically there to judge you, thinking (or worse, telling you!) they were prettier/thinner/could dance better, and understandably also maybe feeling threatened because their guy's attention was diverted to other naked women! Plus, to be blunt, couples were usually just there for a novelty and didn't really spend $$$.
Not saying you're like this, Nymphdancer, but maybe the dancer at your local club has been treated this way by others, so now she is guarded towards other women?
Hope this doesn't come across as rude! I have a lot of respect for strippers, it's a tough job and it is also one place our art originated and I think we should celebrate that! 🙂

Ok so I finally bought a stud finder and discovered the pole had actually been just next to a beam! Oops!! Thanks for the tips, I bought some foam for extra padding and def have it centered over the beam now!! Yay, can’t wait to be pole-ing at home again!! Just hope landlord doesn’t look up during inspection 😉

I didn’t use a stud finder, but my dad was here helping put it up, and he looked in the roof to find it. Still, he had to check in the garage which is next to the lounge room where the pole was, so maybe the beams didn’t line up? Or he could have tightened it too much? I’m thinking of buying a joist finder and putting it up in another room, making sure it’s over the beam and doing it myself so I know it’s not too tight! Aarrgh
