Just letting you ladies know, Tite Grip updated their site to reflect "Tite Grip II Lavender". Don't forget to apply 30-60 minutes before poling for optimal results! Enjoy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

It just blows my mind that she stayed on the pole for over 5 minutes… lift after lift after lift. Can I have her water, please?

It's a showcase on January 15, 2012 in Lawrenceville, NJ. Basically promoting pole dancing and showing local talent in NJ. Theater performance style with an audience. No vendors.
-
Ooh yay! Glad you brought this back!
-
A friend walled me about this. I'm debating as I'm not big on public performing. Even though I pole at clubs with friends or street pole. An audience is a whole different story! Haha! That and I don't have any time to make a video before 10/30 deadline. I might go but Lawrenceville is farrrr. North of Trenton.
Are you going? Are you submitting?

@lilblondie – Awe!!! I guess every workshop is still different, even though the same teacher. Always depends on the class as a whole. Wish I took Derick's workshop! Kept bumping into him everywhere.
Sorry you got injured too. My forearm was sore after sunday, then in a complete knot after Prana's wednesday open class. We did a lot there too. Spin combo: front hook to back hook and swing to front hook, cross side sit, reach out, then aerial princess grip SM. Swoosh Down (my new favorite!!!!) and Swooshy. Kept practicing aerial princess grip SM to get into it. Aerial TG on spin (first ever! yay!!! Although couldn't really spin, so just aerial TG. lol!). And another slow spin combo: prockstar, CAR, bridged CAR, plank.

^ Yay! Let me know how you like it. Also remember, each sample is meant for ONE TIME use, so use the whole packet and mix/rub onto hands and contact points. So you get the full effect of the tube.

You can order Tite Grip II lavender direct from the website. http://www.tite-grip.com . It’s the only place where it’s available, unless I see you in person in NYC. Exclusive!! Haha!
Joe Ginger didn’t update the website yet but he did start shipping the new formula instead of the old formula. I asked him to add II – lavender but his web designer is currently working on a completely new site so it’ll show soon. You will receive the lavender formula unless you email and specifically request the original formula, which is phased out.
It’s the formula he’s been working on for the past 3 years. Completely legit and way better. 😉
As for samples, he’s sending out the new formula samples as well. For some reason they’re separated inside so each sample is one time use. Mixes while you rub it into your hands. The tubes don’t have the separation problem. Guaranteed you ladies will LOVE it!

Oops hit send too early! Silly phone. Back to Tite Grip II – Lavender, so say you reapplied 4-6x during practice, you only need 1-2. Best part, no more chalky buildup on your hands!!! It works on all contact points as well.
I’ve been using the new formula since early Sept, as with a few close friends and more recently, a few pole stars, and we all LOVE LOVE LOVE the new formula. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the original Tite Grip more than the other grip aids. But this? Even better. My grip is actually much stronger now and I never slip. I also still use the white distilled vinegar trick.
-
Tite Grip II – Lavender is the holy grail of holy grails with grip aids for sweaty hands and feet. It applies completely colorless, no more orange!! It smells like perfect lavender, no more spearmint!! No more transfer on the pole!!! It lasts through sweat and requires less reapplying. So say
-
I’m highly debating this. Highly debating. If I end up working a booth and use my Marriott Vacation Package benefits, then so there.
-
Haha Veena! You go girl, with your huffing and puffing bad self! 😉 Be the first (female) poler. The only other ones I saw do this were David Owen and Isaac Pena. It’s hard!!!

So I tried Felix's elbow stand lift to forearm stand today during improv dance. It's actually easier than I thought it would be! Was able to slide my legs and deadlift up when my head was straight, barely touching the ground. Then pushed up into forearm stand, looked at the floor, and bent to scorpion.
I'm still wondering if it's possible for polers to deadlift straight from forearm stand. lol! PaulettePole's original question.
-
The beginning of Felix's deadlift was improper form with arms bent for a split second. She used the pole as an extra balance point to deadlift up. But after, she used proper form as she straightened her arms up and looked to the floor.
The only real danger I can see is falling on your head or face. If there's no pole, then you'd just fall flat on your back. LOL!

Professional videos will probably not be out till months from now and recording was prohibited. Though I can tell you, the photography was done by Toni Wallachy and I am highly looking forward to that.
All in all, APFC weekend was amazing. For the competition, I called 5 out of 6 winners, Phoenix, Laura, Derrick, David, and Suwasit (I missed all but 30 seconds of Heidi's and from what I saw, gorgeous). All jawdropping performances. David's being the most original/flexible, Derrick/Winter/Heidi being the most fluid, Suwasit being the most emotional, Phoenix/Laura/David being the most powerful. I wasn't too impressed with the non-winning males this year. Common moves and not enough performance. Kept hearing about it from others. However, all the females were very impressive.
The show itself was swag. Red carpet was a perfect touch (Can't wait to see who won best dressed! So many gorgeous dresses), decent amount of vendors (I picked up a pair of Mighty Grip gloves), stage setup was good aside from the platforms, the wine/pellegrino were yummy, everyone got a copy of Pole Spin magazine, and space at the tables really helped my view (soooo worth it). Lol! Jenna did a great job co-hosting and Tinu was running around all over the place but as a spectator, APFC was well put together. I absolutely loved both their dresses.
After party was alright. Would have chose a better venue or DJ. Stitch's original DJ left like last month so music was blech. Marina's performance was quite unique and Prana ended up not performing b/c of her knee. It was cool seeing pole badasses do tricks on the X-Stage though. Jenyne being my favorite! Even seeing her on for a minute or so made my night. OMG love her, she's so sweet.
Did 2 workshops on Sunday, Allegra's and Emil Valentino's (whom were also judges of APFC). Allegra is amazeballs and the way she broke down moves made it easy. We learned the Allegra, closed allegra, triple V, a spin combo (bend, plank, poletini, plank, bend, drop split), allegra split (couldn't do), corkscrew/extended butterfly/pop-in opposite inside leg hang, TG lift, and spinning marley (couldn't do on spin). My pole buddy and I were a riot as we're static polers. She teaches in South Beach, where they don't spin. I ended up going to lunch with Allegra, David, Roland, and my husband. Not only is she an awesome pole star, she is an even more awesome person. And David, he's always been the nicest man ever. Emil's flexibility workshop was the deepest stretching I've ever done in my life. LOL! My friend Andrea (Cherry Blossom owner) and I kept making the funniest faces at each other! Not to mention I was intimidated being in the front between Emil and Lian, with Flying Laura and Derick Pierson behind me. LMAO! Lian was the best sexy flexy buddy a girl could ask for. I love B&P!!!!
