I've gotten A LOT of compliments on my arms and my shoulders. However I'm silently complimenting myself on my slowly, BUT SURELY emerging ab muscleshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif. Recently a friend asked me how is my butt so Firm yet so Bouncy?! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif I told him that I guess it must be because I work out in heels 5 times a week sometimes 2 times in 1 day depending on the class.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif

I need to get massages more often. I get compliments on the increase of my flexibility.

I've worn my shoes to clubs and some restaruants. I have Pleaser shoes, so they are really comfortable. People who make high heels need to take tips from the makers who make stripper heels when it comes to comfort.

I have queefed when I was doing floor work I really tried hard to do as wide of a V as possible could and I brought my legs down and there it ripped thank God I was practicing alone and at home. But the air wasn't finished as I started crawling and laughing to my pole, more air kept coming out I had no idea how so much got up there to begin with!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I haven't… yet, but I was taking a class once and the teacher was teaching when you are already on the pole, but you are inverting and when she went to pull herself up and hook her leg, she let it rip! She sad it was her shoes, but we all new better. We had a good laugh about it.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Sometimes I use songs with good beats and sometimes I don't listen to the words, or sometimes I use it to help my body get in the right groove. I don't let a song's lyric's get to me when I'm dancing cause the song is not about me nor does it define me. But if certain songs leave a bad taste in your mouth then please by all means don't dance to it. I LOVE PORN STARS! I have friends in that profession it doesn't bother me one bit. You are gonna always run into ignorant people that want to put us all under the same umbrella, but I think the song is very catchy.
I'm fortunate enough to not have negative people in my life that judge me on what my hobby is, but I'm sure ther are few coming around the river bend soon enough and when that happens I will distance myself from them I don't need that sort of drama.

Good Point, but the question is, How important is it to you? If you are a trail blazer and paid your dues when there was no such thing,or if you are at an amazing studio that doesn't have it then it doesn't. For people like my mother that is all about certificates (Ballet Dancer), it does. I just hope that they at least have First Aid and CPR at least.

Oh yeah when things like this first get going no body has certifications its when it gets to a popular point that all of a sudden people say, "You know maybe we should get some". I once saw a picture of Felix in Vertical Magazine where she fell right off the pole and did some major damage to her self, so yeah accidents will happen there is no denying that I just think that the discussion is on whether or not certification is important to you or not. If not then cool go about your business, if so then same thing. Sometimes for me it depens on what it is. Like I have said before not all of my instructors are certified, but they are extra careful and do not push(nor will I be pushed), so its not a big ordeal, but if I'm going to surgery or need a lawyer, best believe I want certifications. Its all of our personal choices. Hell I have a cousin that shot himself in the foot with his own gun, but he is certified (BIG TIME CERTIFIED). Accidents happens.

CapFeb,
That is Sucky! I'm so lucky that I have never had that experience. My instructors always teach from the ground and if your too scared they tell you DON'T DO IT! When you feel you are they will spot you.

I believe Alethea Austin is certified too. She does the Xpert Xpole Certification Course. As for Jenyne she has an instructor's certification, but she does so many other things, that I'm not sure which certifications she has.
you can look at certification in two ways an extra piece of paper so you can charge more, or Someone who paid their own money to learn how to do things the right way and will hopefully teach it the right way. Now there are Doctor's all over the world with certification that have been sued for mal-practice, it happens, but if something should happen to you (God Forbid) while you are learning its easier to hold a certified person responsible legally then a non-certified person because (I'm coming from a legal point of view) Someone is going to wonder why would you do that knowing that that person was not certified rather than , That person is certified and new that you can't do this that or the other. Does that make since. Really its a roll of a dice either way, but I know I want to be certified if I'm teaching someone and if you get the right certification then it can prove how "GOOD" you really are, not just a cracker jack certificate, I mean a CERTIFICATE.

I have been taught by non-certified people that are all about proper form and safety, but its because they put it in the fore front. So far I haven't had any injuries. Which is great, but they also don't overlly push us if we are scared to do it. It is important to have certification because peole are more trusting and frankly I would like to have one if I was teaching, but there are plenty of non-certified instructors that do it right.
