    I have the felix cane DVDs. IMHO, they're terrible. I feel like pole comes so naturally to her that she does not know how to break moves down and explain them clearly. It's more of a demonstration of her signature moves with a little bit of tips and tricks on how to perfect it. She's a beautiful dancer and I use the videos more as a "dictionary" than a tutorial. Her flexibility DVD is very helpful though. I was unaware that Jenyne has dvds. Jamilla's Art of Pole is pretty good. She is better at bringing you through moves step-by-step in a safe manner. Pole and Aerial online has some good videos and some bad ones depending on who is the instructor in the video (Jenyne does do some of those and she's EXCELLENT) Pole and aerial has some more advanced moves than Veena. That being said, Veena is still the best resource for most pole moves.

    I have the 5… I have never fallen and even gotten close to feeling the floor underneath. With the pretty thick foam that they use, I would say 1" doesn't make much of a difference and would make it less bulky. It feels like a very comfy mattress… I think you'd have to fall pretty fast and hard from very high up to need that extra inch. I would not buy the small one though.

    I then moved somewhere with 12ft and my xpole didn't feel secure and bowed in the middle especially on spin mode.

    I used to dance on a really short pole (I'm 5'5" and I could easily touch the ceiling). I hated it at first, but now I am really glad I learned a lot of moves on that pole. I have so much more control over my leg positioning and my moves are a lot "tighter" than they were before. When you only have a little space, it's a great challenge to force yourself to put together combos that only allow small spaces. Also, great for practicing deathlays… 🙂
