i have the exact same problem. It only happens when I actually ‘add’ a track to the clips i use. The only thing I do now is just use the original music, it means that when I cut bits out I am cutting the music out too, but this does really annoy me.

Hopefully someone will know the answer, as I would love to be able to sort it out too. (I also use iMovie)

I always used to go nude near the end of the dance so that you are not "vunerable" for very long.

Think this is a really good idea, I think what I might do is go to the club, see how they work and have a talk with the other dancers. See what they do… I really couldn’t imagine doing a full dance, completely nude… as MelanieDA, i reckon it would show that I wasn’t comfortable!

Although…. I am liking the idea that lindsayanng had, making pole fitness as a living!!

I also have the dilemma i don’t know how i would feel telling my mum i was a lap dancer, hehe. she loves me for doing pole dancing, but she might worry bout me a little too much if i did lap dancing. hehe.

I RREEAAALLLYYYYY appreciate EVERYONE’S advice!!! it is helping me a lot!! xx

i work in a bar where i get to dance on the pole. The music thing isn’t an issue as I kinda have to dance to whatever there playing. I practically found it impossible when they were doing a hip hop night but i just did my thing.

I usually dance to a couple of songs, maybe three or four depending on the length of the songs. Then come off for a breather and plenty of water!!

I find when I start to feel I am getting tired I will just fill in moves with turns and pirohettes, also… someone told me that people like to take the time to look at woman’s body, so I will to just do a little pose stood by the pole, catch my breath then move on. Hair flips cool me down, and gets the hair out of my face too. Body waves as well, just little moves that don’t take it out of u but are super sexy.

As for repeating moves, I try a change my spins.. maybe do a one spin to another. Like carousel to reverse grab… then next time if i can only think of a carousel… do a carousel to a chair.

Hope it helps, i really have no clue what I am doing when I am at work. But no one seems to notice!! hehe.

Have fun!!! x

Thank you so much ladies for the replies!!!!

I am not married, and have been single for quite a while. So this isn’t an issue. hehe. I’ve said that I will come to the bar to check it out and see how they work. I do not like the thought of slipped fingers though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Didn’t really think about this. And it is a bar where people can drink. hhmmmm

I just wish I could muck about on the pole in my sweat pants and gym top for a living!!! That would be perfect!

[HazelHotpants]

Cool! I really didn’t expect that one, I suppose that’s cos we don’t have spring break here. Will feel a bit odd putting a bikini on while it still looks like winter. This should be fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

This is exactly the same thought I had! Still not quite sure what spring break is?! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif hehe

Also, what kind of songs should we dance too? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I am trying to do the superman, emphesis on TRYING! My teacher said to kinda start off doing a really low gemini. So what I was doing, was really getting quite low to the floor with bent knees, then taking my leg up to the gemini position. This way, when I am attempting to get into the superman I am not that far from the floor. I can get myself to the extending my legs bit, i just CANNOT bring myself to flip over. I suffer from sweaty hands, and this move makes me wayyyy too nervous. so I can feel my top hand has NO grip, so i just dont want to flip over cos i now my top hand wont stay on. lol.

Good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

i love pink! ive been to 2 of her concerts and she did the same thing there! its amazing to watch, and the fact she can sing at the same too!!! brilliant!!!

[HazelHotpants]

I started, because the bar I work in has a pole. And my manager who did pole dancing started to teach me. She then just vanished and left the bar. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif But I had to carry on poling… I loved it. So… I looked for classes and ordered myself a pole!

I have never been a confident person, I would never usually go to a class or anything without a friend by my side! But I did, and I love it. I love the feeling of finally nailing a move that you’ve been working on for so long! I love the fact that you can just dance round your pole, or make it a work out.

I have NEVER been into fitness, but pole dancing is amazing and i have always loves to dance!! (Mainly just drunken dancing tho, lol) Also, I’ve never been very toned, but doing this, is really making my body a lot more toned and healthier. I have nearly been pole dancing the same length of time that I have not been smoking for. So… getting rid of one habit… replacing it with a much more fun and healthier one! Also, its the same length i’ve been single for! And I LOVE it!!!

It makes me feel like such a confident person, specially at work… I feel like no one could bring me down! I do hope I am still poling by the time I am 80!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

it was http://www.mad4shoes.com, but i also noticed, the seller must have a few sites, because http://www.topbrandzone.co.uk has the exact same address as the contact details. So i really would not recommend using these sites.

I was really drawn to the price of the shoes. I bought these ones.

http://www.mad4shoes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=107_108_158&products_id=2805

I spent ages hunting down different sites, and different prices. I think, if i remember rightly, I went with this site because of the price. But… obviously wasn’t a great idea! But, I got them in the end, and everything is sorted! Just dying for a pair of boots!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I am really bad for internet buying. I always do it, don’t think id have anywhere round here where I could buy them from a shop! I wish I lived in London! lol. Although, i wouldn’t have any money left then! x

[HazelHotpants]

yeah, i bought a pair from what i thought was an official pleaser uk site. Bought them, and the status of my order never changed from ‘processing’ so tried e-mailing and ringing the seller and i got no response! But the money had come out my account.

It had been about 3 weeks so was abit worried, luckily i paid thru paypal, so contacted them. And they said if the seller hadnt got back to them in 10 days I would get a refund. So i thought ok… I will buy a pair from Amazon as i knew they were a well known website site, and i thought if the other seller hadn’t got back to me after nearly a month, they wouldnt get back to paypal. So on the 10th day, i get an e-mail from paypal saying that the other seller has got in contact and sent the shoes!! eek!! So now I had two pair of pleaser shoes on there way to me! (The same type of shoe too! lol)

They both arrived, and I felt bad, cause even though amazon were the better seller, and quicker to arrive I had to return their pair, cos i knew the other seller would have been a nightmare trying to get a refund!

So, I am just abit scared where to order from now, cos I dont think amazon do all of the pleaser range! And i dont want to be conned! lol

[HazelHotpants]

I have a 6 inch pair, with an ankle strap. They are pleasers and i LLOOVVEE them! Mine have a clear platform, but looking at other people’s videos. sometimes i wish I got the black ones! (I always want what i cant have in shoes) I want to get some boots too, and just cannot decide. I have the problem i live in the UK, and I think Pleaser is an american make! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

And, I love my hair AFTER about a million hours of straightening, it is so thick! i love it! I really like this forum!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif oh oh oh! i love my height (5ft9) but the fact I have little feet for my size, (size 5 uk, mmmmm US 7.5, i think) x x
