    Thanks all. I don’t know if I’ll end up trying it based on the general concensus. Optionally, any thoughts on where I could get matching yellow (like sun, not neon) top and bottom? 🙂

    I have been to two of Michelle's workshops (and am signed up for another and a private) and I say without reservation to go if you can.  She's very nice and gets around to help everyone in the workshop.  I think that I've taken workshops from four pros and she's definitely my fav.  I hope you can work it out! 🙂

    From my experience, which doesn’t make me correct, I’m sure, lol, it will need to be retaped periodically. Similar to a trapeze bar.

    My mom would really expect nothing less of me.  I was a total tomboy growing up and she's probably just happy to see me do something that has a feminine side to it, lol.  She appreciates the strength and skill required to do it.  My SIL is the same, but my MIL….she just keeps quiet about it, lol.

    I've had mine for about seven years now and no one has ever said anything to me about them as far as employment goes, but at the same time, I guess employers might fear retribution from telling me that my hair is unacceptable.  It's neat and it's clean and I've never had a mold or bacteria issue, (and here's another but) but, I've never had to use any product to get my hair to loc.

    Anyway, rock out with your locs  out as Wild Lotus said! 🙂

    I love all of you guys so much!!!  I can't even express how awesome it is to have this community to supplement my in-person pole community. 🙂

    I'm going to be watching a lot of videos!  

    Also, @Malcious, your avi pic is gorgeous, i.e, you are gorgeous!!!  😀

    For those of you who don’t know who DDP is, he was a wrestler in the WWE back in the day. 🙂

    The video is truly inspiring. At the same time, I have to giggle because DDP takes me way back. 🙂

    Everyone is so helpful with their tips. I appreciate it more than words can say. I’m going to try to put all of your tips into practice. I will try to do a video for comparison purposes.
    This video is from an impromptu choreography class where my student is outdancing me by miles, lol. So when I say flow, I think I’d like to move a little more like she does and a little less like I do, lol.

    I'm glad you had at least one smile today, corby! 🙂

    I'm the same as you (because I don't count those mandatory couple of years my mom forced me to take ballet when I was about 8 – now I wish for those years and more, lol) with no dance background.  I was the biggest tomboy ever! 

    Looks like from what I'm reading that it'll be time to get the video camera out more often.  I dance around all of the time, when I'm cooking, cleaning, walking down the hall at work.  It just hasn't translated to anything that looks nice.  Yet!  🙂

    Thanks, Veena! I pretty much only dance slowly while thinking about every body part. My freestyling has never really been strong (although I can throw choreography together – doesn’t make sense, right, lol) and I know my movements have improved since I started, but I’m kinda feeling like when I watch others, I can see their inner sex kitten. I have an inner sex elephant.
    There’s the all too real possibility that this is in my head, as others might find my dancing pleasurable to watch. I just want to figure out how to join them. 🙂
