Thanks for the info Islandgirl! I know, as I was reading the descriptions, I wanted to try it all… but have practically maxxed out the CC as it is. 🙂 whoops.

I just reread through this thread (so funny, some of these names!) and since posting that my burlesque name was Bijou Blanc, I have totally changed it. I had a couple of friends check out a video, and told them to name that dancer. And thus, my new burlesque name was born: Alice B. Heartless. I love this name!

islandgirl, was there a particular formula from the Saje website that you liked? i checked it out and I see they have an arnica product, but quite a few other neato looking products as well. which ones have you tried?

I second Gummypia. I am really liking DVKs Black and Blue Balm. When I didn't have that, or don't have it with me, I use Traumeel, in the gel version. I don't like creams, but I do know others who use the cream Traumeel and really like it. I have also used arnica in pill form, but could never really tell if it helped. Its not expensive though, and I have always used it at the same time as using other arnica topicals, so I know that the whole arsenal works well for me personally.

I do consulting work as an environmental scientist, primarily helping clients with compliance issues, environmental permitting, managing field efforts for site clean ups, and assessing environmental conditions in the field, as well as technical writing for the all the reports that our fieldwork generates.
If I could do it all over again, I would have gotten in to physical therapy, and as many other physical well being modalities (Pilates, LMT, ART, GYRO) as I could afford! But now I feel stuck. 🙁

I know! They'll get back with good critique, just takes some time.

Obviously, I don't know the particulars of schedule this year but I just checked my email thread and the last time it took about 2.5 months to get feedback.

I also asked… but I know they are busy. The last time I asked for feedback it took a few weeks minimum to get the critique back.

I think it gets frustrating for people because when we say educate yourself about the competition, there is no way to educate yourself for bias. Know that it's there, but nowhere in any competition's requirements/rules/application does it say "don't worry about making our deadlines, ignore our submittal requirements, our judges only want to see (fill in the blank)" etc.
I know it has been said that this is swept under the rug in lots of competitions, but that shouldn't mean that we as a community should be ok with that. I think this is a chance to work for positive change. It should not be chance to belittle, attack, etc organizations or competitors. I think we all understand that. Because this does affect the pole community at large. Especially in the sense of it being more accessible to those outside the community AND each and every bid to make pole seen as a sport on the global stage, whether that's a personal goal for anyone, or not.

Brynn should make it I think! jennifer kim competed there last year, and most recently at Pacific pole.

I love dancing barefoot, and I love how dancing in heels creates such beautiful lines etc. however, I totally agree that shoes that fit make all the difference. I have a very hard time finding shoes that fit. With no halfsize options I find that I am NEVER comfortable in heels, always too small or too big, and usually always too wide. I do know however, that just wearing them around the house is the best way to get used to wearing them. Any time I have done that, I have really been able to see a difference in the subsequent dance videos. I also agree that choosing not to dance in heels is totally fine. If you don't like them, don't wear them.

At the Pilates studio I take classes at we have to remove our slippers outside the door (its Hawaii so very few people show up in shoes), and wipeour feet with foot wipes they provide. To me, this only makes sense! When spending time on the floor, its always nice that its clean.

I loved Sarah's video. Such a beautiful dancer!
