Kori, your freakishly short arms are going to be an issue. This has shades of Allegra and the Felix split leg sit, and you struggle with both of those. There is a also a little bit of Janeiro in there.

I can attest that Karol is tiny all over, arms included, and she can bust this out.

There are things I will debate to the end (you all know me and you have seen it) and there are some that just are not worth my time. I just cannot respond to outright stupidity from a sensational journalist as the more we respond the higher their “ratings” go.

Unless these people already pole, typically a pole party will fail. It is the same reason why women will not walk into a studio for the first time; there is still a stigma that they need to mentally get past. I would also make sure that these are people you know and trust as there can be blowback that you did not consider…..either nasty rumors or even if someone gets hurt they could try going after you for “damages”. Not trying to be a buzz kill, just giving you some things to think about.

I would say that dropping right out of it is NOT an iron X. I cannot remember what the time frame is for some competitions for holding a move but I would think that a good 3-5 seconds would be considered appropriate.

NYC used to have a ton of events but this past year a lot have been sidelined. Besides USPDF and APFA there was Polesque and Aerial Amy was holding an event called Flight Club but she took close to a year step back from pole (she is back). I would follow Amy as she is going to be teaching again at a studio that is more about showcasing than competing.

Yeah, I agree with what everyone else has said. Those screws should not stick out. Mine are set quite deep. When looking at the adjuster uncovered there are 3 flat columns in the grooves of the threading. Those screws are supposed to line up with those flat parts. These are the flat parts: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/734292_1991611627578_1739300642_n.jpg

There was a challenge a little while back (if I recall correctly) that was dancing to the same song in 2 different styles. It may be worthwhile to look that up and get some inspiration. I will also say that there have been some songs that have really surprised me to dance to; songs I never even considered but at the end of it I could not even remember a single thing I did, I just knew it *felt* amazing. I can also say that the S Factor dvds are really good at training yourself to get out of your head.

What I suggest is to put them all on a playlist, turn the lights down low, cover up every single mirror and just move. Get out of your head. Feel your body. You will have a greater connection to the song if you let your body feel it instead of just listening to it and imagining. This is a great way to start your pole session and get your pole and body warm.

Do you know Jessie out there? If you do talk to her. She has had all sorts of issues with kitten getting stuck (kittens her pole’s name I believe). If I was not on my phone I would pull up threads for you. I know there are quite a few on here.

Have you lost/gained weight in the last few weeks? Has your diet changed (holidays)? Are you on your period or possibly pregnant? Have you started birth control or changed any supplements/drugs/vitamins? Have you gotten a massage or possibly need an adjustment in your spine? There are so many things that could be going on here. Even holiday stress can have an effect.

At first I thought that was the Roxy spin but it is not. That is something Josiah (BadAzz) came up with and I cannot remember the name. You may be able to search him on YT or FB and find a tutorial.

I had more ingrowns when I got a Brazilian than I ever did shaving.
And Charley…..ow ow ow ow ow.

Two things….Sally Beauty has a version of tend skin that is under $10. Also if you buy the clear gel salicylic acid simple stuff it is the same active ingredient as both of them and you can find that for about $3-4 at any drug store.

I do not know the studio personally and it is in Alphretta but I do know one of the instructors and she is amazing. The name of the studio is Amoora Dance and Fitness and her name is Sahrit (hoppinariel on SV). Joe’s is known for their booty clapping videos but that is about all I know about them. I think there is PoLaTeaz also but have only been to the one (that closed) in Houston.
