The patent comes off really easily. Fill it in with black nail polish and no one notices. Especially if you’re dancing… because no one’s paying attention to tiny scuffs on your shoes.

This hurts me way more than TG handspring. If I do more than one, I feel it for a few days afterwards… I can't envision it being good for you!

And if you're desperate, there's definitely pole in Champaign. I know a really good instructor in Danville, but that's quite a drive.
Then there's this- but I'm pretty sure poledanceromance lives in the Chicago area now. Ask her?

Make a roadtrip in to StL this weekend! There's a huge 2 day showcase with workshops by Nadia Shariff and Sergia Anderson. http://www.michellemynxacademyofpoledance.com/

I am wholeheartedly amused that whenever there is a negative article about pole dance, it seems the pole dance community overwhelm the negative comments of 'outsiders' to a level almost akin to trolling. I'm so glad to be an 'insider' in the pole community.

Also, keep your inner thighs really tight. If you're pretty flexible it's easy to let that bottom leg slide down, especially in heels.

Anytime I'm trying a new move or nervous about something, I wipe my hands on my butt, typically 3 times. It started out as a 'sweat removal' thing. Now it's just an OCDism.

Hey Chemmie- update your location. It makes me sad.

I forgot to mention, she doesn't like S Factor. No offense to S Factor people, she just doesn't think vibe there fits her personality/learning styles well. She's very trick heavy and is looking for somewhere with advanced moves.

I consider 9'3 pretty tall! My home pole is 9' and I thought it was decently tall!

We've been calling it 'the swoosh' because it reminded us of the nike swoosh.

I spent a few months working on a very short pole. I thought it was actually really helpful. It helped me 'tighten up' my transitions so I could stay on the pole longer without coming down. I also got much better at controlling my shoulder mounts and inverts, keeping everything very flat and direct because there wasn't much room to fix it if you make a mistake! It's also a great way to practice deathlays if you're afraid of heights! Yeah, having a short pole sucks for a lot of things but you can really think of it as a training experience!

This looks like a fun project to me.
If she can't return it, might as well try to get it together and use it for basic stuff, right? Honestly, I've been on a faux x-pole and it wasn't horrible. The screw to get static mode to stay static was stripped but otherwise it was ok. I didn't try anything that generated too much momentum either. It did feel just as stable as my old x-pole did…
So Skyler- what have you put together so far? Most of the pieces seem straight forward to me. There's really only one that's confusing me…

Agreed with Ekinkah on the split grip.
Basic invert, which arm (or both?) is having triceps pain inside arm or outside arm?
