Still, the carpet wasn't really what I was going for so one day I saw a box of laminate flooring at a thrift store and voila! I bought a cheap little saw and cut the hole for the middle, that was the most difficult part. I fit the pieces together and used duct tape to tape non-slip rug underlay to the bottoms, fit both pieces around the pole and using pretty gold duct tape taped the edges together tightly. This works perfectly! I have a tiny little dance floor around my pole and carpet past that so I can do spins but it's a soft landing and I can do floorwork on the carpet! The whole project cost less than $25. Yea!

I just can't resist this one. The whole reason that I knew that pole was for me was that I inverted the very FIRST TIME I ever touched a pole.
My friend had a Sexy Party at a dance studio, it was fun, a dozen girls taking turns learning moves.
The instructor thought I'd poled before. I haven't really gotten very far since then, but I have a pole and I use it to dance, for excercise and fun. I have a bad knee so I can use the pole to balance.
Even if I am a beginner forever, I love to pole dance!

I had this beautiful laminate flooring installed just a few months ago. It was really great for dance, but it was really loud and I live next door to a Marmaduke sized dog, and the walls are thin.
Then, accidentally, I had a small flood in my townhouse, it ruined a good part of the floor, making dancing on it not doable.
I got a deal on a huge plush rug with a 1/2 inch pad, it is great for dancing barefoot and the sound problem is almost nil.
Shoes with any grip however are a no go. Very frustrating because, in some ways I think I love the shoes just as much as the dance. I tried the tape but found it would just roll, I even bought the best tape that I could find at Home Depot, and still had the same problem.
I experimented on a cheaper pair of shoes. First I tried to wear them down on concrete, still not smooth enough for spins. So then I used a callous scrapper and went to town, a little better, but not what I was looking for. Finally, I got Krazy Glue and coated the bottoms. Bingo! Nice and smooth.
The next time I do this to a pair of shoes, however I will protect the sides with tape for any run down because I did get glue on the sides of the shoe (not a huge deal, it is clear) Also, if you do this be careful because when not on the carpet these shoes are not super slickery and dangerous.
I had to use an entire container of Krazy Glue for each shoe sole. I find it sold at the dollar store.
Happy Spinnin' 🙂

Whoops, shoe sole, not soul. Oh, I dunno, maybe my shoes do have a bit of soul 😉

I found my awesome huge sliding door mirrors at a Goodwill thrift store for @ $10 ea. I couldn't believe it. I find so much awesome stuff at thrift stores.

I have this condition. I am a massage therapist, lots of repetitve movement. Additionally, I hyperextend my elbows. I find the best remedy is massage, massage, and rest. It hurts, a little to massage the area, but it relieves the pain after.
Good luck!

A nature pole, awesome!

I like eyeliner. After years of looking for what I wanted in an one I finally found it at Target. The brand is "elf" and it is called a "waterproof eyeliner pen". It is awesome, stays on, doesn't annoy me and I bought it for $1.

Adora Naughtynymph?

Well it sure is sweet that he got the pole for you, but you gotta step it up.
Intallation is the key, when my pole finally got erected correctly I was so happy. I still am, just thinking about the work that went into getting the thing into my cozy little home really inspires me.
My only regret is not using it when I had the audience.
One big piece of advice girls, if you have a guy and he wants you to dance for him…
just DANCE!

Pole is one of the only ways that I can get a work out. I have a super wobbly knee, I "broke" it a few years back and don't have the insurance or the money to fix it. I can't run, I can walk but if I step wrong, woah daddy, I could be out for weeks. The great thing about the pole is I can use it to balance myself.
I also have rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis. I find that stretching on the pole helps my back and just moving in general helps my arthritis.
