    I still have not "processed" the entire weekend. Not only did I get to meet SOOOOO many people but some of the performances still get me welled up in tears. I hated for the weekend to end.

    August 5, 2010 at 5:41 pm in reply to: Pole Dancing Classes for Kids

    There is a studio near me in a very quiet town surrounded by Amish that teaches pole, silks, break dancing, juggling and stilts. Their main audience/clientele is kids and they even have summer camps aimed directly at children. Their pole class is called Acro Pole and the studio itself is not your typical female oriented space. They have some pics up on their facebook page of 2 girls that are sitting on the pole that are no more than 7-8 years old.

    IF YOU DO NOT MAKE IT "DIRTY" THEN KIDS DO NOT KNOW IT IS.

    While on vacation I was practicing at the playground on different types of equipment. The little girls were asking me all sorts of questions on how I could do what I did and even my niece, who is typically very timid, was hanging upside down on the jungle gym. My sister later told me that was the first time she ever did that because usually she is too scared.

    The cheapest that I have ever found poles is through Markstaar. Most metal shops are not going to carry 2" stainless pipe so it will need to be special ordered.

    August 3, 2010 at 10:08 pm in reply to: Where does powder coating rank in terms of grippiness?

    As much as I love my powder coated I would shy away from it. I have ripped skin off my legs on mine on many occasions. Also, there is only a little over 7′ of actual usable pole, the rest is a tube that slides in and out of the top of the pole and is not usable. Many people also have had issues with the top piece eating through their ceiling and the pole coming loose or leaving a huge hole in their ceiling. If you are going directly into wood it is not too bad.

    For grippiness brass, titanium gold and chrome seem to be the best.

    Well, I think we all know what has to happen here…you just need to move to Cleveland!!

    Honey, anytime you have a place to jam during the week let me know. I am pretty much in Akron for work anyway. I could bring clothes and just pop by after work!

    August 2, 2010 at 1:45 am in reply to: Would you consider this strength training?

    I would never consider swimming as strength training, nor would I consider yoga as such. Strength training uses resistance to build strength, endurance and size. If I swim every day I really do not think that I would gain huge muscles nor have I ever seen someone get "huge" from daily yoga.

    In pole I never started gaining until I started inverting, and mainly I am pushing/pulling 150 lbs over my head regularly. At some point in time I will stop gaining and probably maintain, unless you take into account different weights of shoes.

    I have a nightmare that I am trying to do tricks and my pole either melts into twisted unusable garbage or it keeps falling. Anyone else ever have stupid annoying pole dreams?
    Only the ones where I can do things that I know in my right mind I can’t!
