    However, I will warn that pandora is not legal to be used in a classroom nor is an iPod unless you have paid for music rights. There are lots of threads on here regarding it and a few studios have been fined (and it is getting more frequent).

    EDM is electronic dance music. Trapp is really good too.

    I have a bunch of playlists on my iPod that I used for different parts of my class. I will try to remember to get them when I get home. My warm ups were more motion based so I had a lot of more sensual type music.

    A simple “your comments are flattering but they make me uncomfortable” is the response you should give. Passive is NOT the way to go and if he cannot handle a simple and blunt rejection then you need to take extra steps. If you handle it professionally and don’t back pedal this should kill his advances.

    May 14, 2014 at 3:28 pm in reply to: Handspring help please 🙂 RE – My last vid!

    The big thing that I see here is that you are not engaging your arms at all. This is not something that you need to focus on when doing twisted grip because the engagement comes from the the arm being twisted and creating its own stability (and one of the reasons why it is so dangerous). In a standard handspring you really need to have the push/pull going on and it looks like you don’t.

    Can you butterfly, extended butterfly, Ayesha with split grip?

    Nope! I am mostly legs and no waist and have crappy leg flexy. I am 42″ to the top of my hip.

    Ah….I thought you were specifically looking for what all is contained in such book. I have been to studios that have such a thing but the majority that I have been to do not. It is becoming more commonplace though especially as safety is taking more of a role in the sport and certification/training programs are becoming more popular.

    Pantera has been walking on the ceiling on a pole for as long as I can remember.

    Typically this is considered proprietary information. Studios have spent lots of time and money putting these together so I would not be surprised if you do not get a lot of responses.

    There is a place called Hot Springs here in NC that I am dying to check out! It is in the mountains and is fed by natural hot springs.

    I have heard that a good 6 weeks to tweak your routine and get it completely down. You will be poling harder and longer than usual so you do not want to over do it. Last thing you want to do is push past a point where you end up injured and unable to compete. Also new moves should not be put into the routine, it should be stuff that you can consistently get and you just need to work on transitions in and out of and making it “pretty”. Plenty of recovery time, proper sleep and eating is a must.

    The danskin line at Walmart. I love love love their front closure sports bras and will typically buy any new color that comes out. They run about $12 and are super comfortable. Aerial Gypsy and I message each other when new ones come out!

    Just a note….powder coat + humidity is not a good combo.

    2 things that have wicked well for others: Google splits in 6 weeks. I am on my phone or I would link it for you. Also check out resistance stretching. Veena has a really good 20 minute routine but if you are not a paid member you cannot view it, but I believe they still have the 3 day free trial.

    It is not so much just a squeeze but a squeeze and an internal rotation of the legs. Also the pole should be more towards the knees than on your thighs.

    Ummmm…..just looked at their pricing. If you actually change to the type of pole you have the pricing changes.
