Also, what is the temperature in your house versus the studio? My house is constantly cooler (my SO and I are nightshift workers hailing from a colder climate and now live in a desert. We need it cool to sleep in the day), and that really affects the grip on my chrome pole. I’ve started using a hair dryer to make it warmer. My studios poles are always warm by the time I get there so it’s easier to hold even when I haven’t yet warmed up.

I saw there is a wax lotion thing they sell at hard wear stores like Home Depot called O’Keefes working hands cream. It’s mean for carpentry and rule layers and stuff who work with their hands and get splits in the fingers like you have. They also sell it on amazon. Maybe you could try that out?

The new towelette thing is called Dry Body. It supposedly works for a week. I read a review who said it worked great for 4-5 days.
I read a review of it earlier today actually and I went to look it up on their website… I’m kindof curious about it myself.

And by same I mean, entirely different issue with the same final symptoms (can’t stick on pole) 🙂
I think normally my skin is dry which is why cold me + cold pole = no stick. But if you warm the pole I stick. But I sweat when I overheat which means dry + sweat = no stick either because I’m sloughing off skin like I’m a lizard person. XP I have no issues with this in everyday life, just pole.

I have the same issue! But mine is from sweat. 🙁 It’s hard for me to practice at home because we try to keep the house cool. But that means the pole is cold. And if I try to warm it with my body, I have to really exert myself. Which makes my hands and body sweat. So when I can finally get on the pole, I can’t use it.
If I don’t try to warm it up and I’m starting up both me and the pole are cold and dry and I don’t stick either. I need the pole to be warm, and me to be cooler to actually really stick on the pole. I haven’t figured out the best way to do that yet.

Boo… 🙁

Try responding again saying that she obviously didn’t read the text or look at the actual ad. To be honest, at a cursory glance, it looks like it is an add for weight loss. If you don’t read the text or actually view the add that is.
Perhaps if you ask the lady to look closer at your ad, and ask what point it was breaking because it is, as you state, neither about weightloss, nor idealizing a certain weight. Rather it is talking about marks that many women are ashamed of and trying to tell people they shouldn’t be ashamed.
The reason it got called out was because the picture and the phrasing seems to imply at a very quick glance that you are advertising or selling either a weightloss article or something that would make the marks go away. Mind you, I said quick glance. Your ad does follow a lot of the visual and textual similarities to weightloss ads found throughout Facebook and the internet.

When I started pole and only did my right side I had issues with really sore shoulders afterwards. However if I use both sides equal amounts my shoulders are fine , and if I do them more often I get accustomed to the pull.

I admit though it was hard to follow. Do you have two star stand alones and a hitch pole? What are the sizes of each one (don’t know if hitch is 45 or 50). What is the best way to contact you?

I’ll let people in my area know as we are from bakersfield as well. 🙂

I think the real issue was so much was cut from the show that I saw, it wasn’t what the reviewers saw at all. And the music is good, but highly repetitive. In fact there are two songs that are basically the same song with different instrumentation. Same beat, same lyrics, one is a touch faster with bells. My boyfriend and I love Cirque. We always watch the traveling shows if we can. We had seen Totem two years before and it was amazing, even from the back, so as a christmas gift he bought us tickets in the front ring (not ringside but only 3-4 rows back). And we got Amaluna… with no Luna. With very few jawdropping moments. With costumes that were gorgeous but nothing was done with the people. We felt cheated. It was advertised as a show with mostly women acts, and I’ve seen better all women acts in other shows. It’s like they just used the Cirque name and costumes and assumed that makes it a great Cirque show. It was a good show, but for the money we spent, we expected Cirque du Soleil. And this did not compare favorably to any of the shows I have seen in the past from much less expensive seats.

What swinging pole act? I saw it in December and was horribly disappointed. The static pole act was cool, but they cut the tightrope act, the irregular bars(parallel bars?) was pretty uninspired, the hooper didn’t have a costume really and the whole Lyra act was cut. Also the male act messed up a few landings and the juggling act with the girls being spun by the feet also messed up twice. I’m now racking my brain for a swinging pole act and I can’t remember one…. For all I know it was cut from my performance as well…

Ok, I have your lessons, but I’m a little bummed because to watch them on my TV I’d have to go through quite a few hoops, and I love to put things on my TV to watch as my Pole is in living room area instead of an alternate room. I have a Roku already, if there was a chance to put the lessons on a private Roku channel I would be so very very happy. It would be much more useful to me personally than having it work on ipad. (though may not be cost effective)

Just letting people know that you can sign up for a paypal account with just a credit card. That’s what I do at least and it works fine. That’s what I did for my membership.
