I have level 4 and I love it. I suppose it depends on how much a dancer's hands sweat, mine are very, very bad! Level two is also good but once I'm really warmed up if I want to continue doing inverts and climbs then I have to use level 4. Love Itac!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif
Good luck with the performance!

Just to update anyone who's interested.
I got my free samples as promised by Peter. Not only did he let me sample one level but because I had no experience with grip aids he gave some level 2 and level 4. Excellent customer care I must say! That already impressed me to find a company so eager and generous about their product.
Anyway I tried both of them and they are AMAZING! I actually cannot believe how it feels to not slip off after two spins. I could stay upside down far longer and work on inverted moves far more confidently. I am amazed by how much my slippy grip must have been holding me back. This stuff is freakin' excellent.
I will definitely be ordering some myself.
Thank you Peter and Itac 2! Much appreciated.

Wayhey another fairy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif Welcome along, if you can't attend regular classes I deffo recommend getting Veena's lessons on here once your pole comes. I've learned loads from them and I generally just feel safer having step by step instruction!
Welcome to you too Blue!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I got my first Hollywood wax done today (not sure what it's called in every country but it's basically where everything is taken off!) To be honest, it wasn't half as bad as I imagined it would be. Of course there were certain parts that hurt more than others but on a scale of 1-10, I'd rate the pain a 4 in the bad spots! The real discomfort is now really, it's been like 15 hours since I had it done and I still feel a bit tender but it's not that bad. Overall, not that painful of an experience at all, I really expected much, much, much worse! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I got some spray off the waxer to start using in 2-3 days to prevent ingrowns, this is my main concern having been an epilator user for a while, I know only too well how ugly ingrowns are. So hopefully this spray will minimise any of that!

Thank you Peter, I got your email and I cannot wait to try it out. Thanks for you help and you input here :))

Hahahah that IS exciting. A move like that must take an incredible amount of strength! Well done https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Wow loads of replies, thank you all so much for posting your suggestions. I think I will email for a free sample too, it's so cool that they do that!

There is indeed. It's one of my fave pole videos ever, even though it's quite simple, she dancer her heart out. If you Youtube Leighann La Tortura you should find it. I think she does the spin relatively near the beginning of the video.

I started Bikram yoga tonight…. WOWOWWWOWOWWOW!!! So hot and sweaty and there were parts where I wanted to die but I surprised myself by how much more flexibility I had once I was really hot. I can definitely get how this is beneficial when done consistently. I have 30 days paid for, it's some kind of 30 day challenge to see how many times you can go in one week. I hope that in 30 days I can write back here and say I went pretty consistently.

I never liked it much until I seen Leigh Ann do a real sexy variation of it. Now I am determined to make it look gorgeous and graceful! Like you, EagleSpirit, I found the back hook far easier. My biggest issue was not feeling secure in holding myself in place and allowing myself to go forward around the pole. You will get it eventually, I used to HATE this spin and now I really want to get a sexy Leigh Ann front hoot down! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I got an email tonight saying that there is one space left in her intermediate class, apparently you need to have a comfortable invert to take part. I assume this means a comfortable basic invert/crucifix? That I have but I am still worried I am not experienced enough for this class, I still can't get the goddamn inverted V. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif
If anyone has done her intermediate class can you please let me know what is required of you?
Thank you!

I agree with the private mail idea. Although her video could lead beginners into unsafe habits, it is probably a bit embarrassing for an instructor to take some public criticism like that. I would be worried about prospective students being turned away by reading anything critical online and although I totally agree with you that she should know better, I'd feel terrible for damaging somebody's business, especially when I'm not 100% sure on how safe her teaching style really is. There is always the possibility that she is a beginner level instructor where she won't teach inverts at all. Plus for your sake, you'll save yourself a lot of drama and youtube sniping by telling her privately.
I agree if she's teaching students to jump in then she's irresponsible and a danger to her students but we don't know if this is the case from watching one youtube video. 🙂
