some people find powder coat to be grippier then chrome.

This is actually the pole that Gravity plays favorites started with. It started to bend and warp pretty quickly and they had to have a welder re-do the whole thing. I also believe this is the one that a friend had the pole break on.

Michelle Mynx. She makes me feel like I can do anything, and has made me do things I never thought possible (quit giggling Chem) Alethea. I go to her camps, she always shows “levels” of things so I might not be able to do the devils point shuffle but I can do part of it. Sarah Jade is awesome about that too. She started with easy versions and made it harder. She got me into a meat hook and a machine gun which I thought no the hell way. I would say those are my three favorites. I loved workshops with many others as well, Cleo, Karol Helms, and some others. Did a private with Becca Butcher that was awesome. The only workshop I felt was a waste of my time was one with Porsche. It was supposed to be a Choreo class about character development. That was about 10 minutes. Then it went into a super hard routine Assuie style. 3 of us ended up giving up.

oh and I try to get in some personal pole/freedance time in as well!

I teach pole anywhere from 11-20 hours a week depending on how many parties/private lessons are booked. I teach one chair class a week. I try to do a Jillian 30 shred workout 4 times a week.

I use my gloves on our poledanzer brass poles.

sigh, I wish I could go with boy cut underwear, but my butt eats them. Of course most of the time it eats my shorts too.

1.05. My wing span is a full 3 inches more then my height.

[nymphdancer]

ummm why would you be inverting in a class called Beginner 2, let alone putting it in a routine???

this right here tells me all I need to know about this pole. from the reviews:

I already had a 50mm X-Pert Xpole but wanted to get a 45mm for better hand grip. I love X-pole but didn’t want to spend the money for one. So I purchased this knowing it was cheaper and probably wouldn’t compare to x-pole but didn’t realize it would be this bad. Package arrived intact and pretty fast but this pole is very cheaply built. Since i already owned a high quality pole, this was noticeably cheap. when the pole is on static mode, I have to pretty much go one way doing spins etc ( to the right).. so i don’t loosen the pole ( it works by tightening to your floor and ceiling). Yes, it comes undone… The pole is warped in the middle and makes it feel unsecure and bendy, like it’s going to break. I only weigh 120 lbs have had it for about 2-3 weeks and this thing is already feeling like it’s going to fall apart. It sucks in my opinion but so far it works but as soon as I can, I will be purchasing another x-pole. If you have never used a professional pole and this is all you’ve used, it might seem like it’s a good pole but i can tell you from using the 2 other poles i have, the ones ive used at the studio, and a friends, this is crap. Save an extra $150 on top of this price and purchase a better quality pole. It’s worth it.

Save your money for an xpole.

xpole makes several finishes, one might work better for you over another. I can’t do stainless, its the slippery for me. Chrome is better, Titanum gold better still and brass best.

if you like the sweetvixen rompers you can also look for monokini’s . They are bathing suits with the sides cut out. Sadly they look silly on me since I’m so short waisted the fabric on the belly sags. But then again I don’t mind my curves showing, I’ve learned to embrace them!

[nymphdancer]

I actually have no special move related goals. My goal is to just improve overall. smoother, stronger, better. More flow. More connected dance. More flexi.

Oh and to hit all 4 of Alethea’s 2014 pole camps. I already did both of the 2013 ones, and performed in the first ever Showcase.

[nymphdancer]

we have the poledanzer “defected” brass in our studio (which were ordered and installed almost 2 years ago) no problems. There are small imperfections but they do not effect use.

Sorry Luvlee I will never try a pair of Mika. I just can’t afford them number 1, and number 2 I have looked at them when they are at the Mid west pole comp and the largest size STILL wouldn’t cover my butt and would end up getting eaten by my butt. Don’t get me wrong I love my butt. I try for beginner’s classes to wear my longest shorts. They go several inches down my legs. By the end of class they are booty shorts. But my website shows me in sexy clothes and high heels.
