@charley, you can’t do the splits? I am sooo not bendy and it bugs me a lot . I keep working on it though and focusing on strengths…your post makes me feel better because I feel like, as a Teacher, I really should have them and it feels like everyone else does…
Also, yes I also don’t like to put timeframes on things, though I threw out a number because it’s so easy to underestimate and get discouraged. -
She has it all. Strength, flexxy, great flow. I am amazed at how much air time she gets in her spins. That one arm knee tuck spin? Holy cow.
I'd say for the 'average' person…a solid 2 + years, depending on how much time/money etc you have to dedicate to it.

Oh Tara, yikes!! Mine has slipped. Mine has come down. I would love to permanently mount it if possible. It's so tricky…xpole says most people acutally overtighten the poles but dang…how do you know when it's just tight enough?!
I've also drawn a circle on the ceiling around the mount. Will be interesting to list this house sometime and have people potentially gaze at the ceiling and wonder why there's a big circle.

I won't be able to go to the meeting. 🙁
Taking the inside/outside leg hangs out of the equation for a minute though, just going into a basic inversion…the outside leg still goes to the front of the pole, at least that's how I learned it and how I teach it. Interesting question!
-
regarding Amy's last post…I prefer to invert on my left side and I usually climb with my right foot behind the pole, so to do an aerial invert I'd sweep the left (outside) leg in front of the pole and right foot is still behind. (and Amy…for YEARS I had no clue about the gemini, since I learned via the sfactor book! lol)
It feels awkward to me to go straight into a scorpio from invert because it feels more 'twisty' I think. And if you're used to inverting and hooking the outside leg anyway, it's easier to transition to learning the butterfly.

I cut all elastic the same–15". It seems to be fine. You could make the elastic slightly longer though…I just would want to make sure they're snug enough to not slip.

yep, I make all the garters for my studio. Super easy!!

Dang girl! I've only been as far north as Winter Harbor…mostly staying along the coast near Acadia. LOL.
That is an amazing double life! Way to bring pole to Maine. 😀

Ugh! This isn't very user friendly…or is it just me? When I click on 'Music' in the store, there isn't an option for creating a playlist??
In iTunes, click iTunes Store (below Store, on the left side of the iTunes window):

In the iTunes Store, click Music in the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window:

In Music, click Playlists, and then click Create a New Playlist.
Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID, if you haven’t already.
Enter a title and description for the playlist.
To add a song, click Add Songs, select a song, and then click Add.

I don't have much advice for you but without even seeing your location, I knew your state because I heard about that scandal. Sheesh! I looove Maine and I am curious what part you're in…I'd love to pole with you if and when I get out there. 🙂
I'm guessing it's not possible to teach out of your home? I know several on here have done that. I know several have also set up in established studios, but since it means bringing and setting up poles each time that would be such a pain. I hope you get some good advice though and best of luck!

Hmm–yes! I'll see if it works for me!
-
Yeah, I kinda remember that. Someone told me there was this itunes thing called 'ping' which allowed sharing, and it no longer exists?
-
Yeah…I think for this climb you have to experiment with different variations and see what clicks. And it will just take repetition and practice. I think there are basically 2 side climbs: one where you move both legs up at once and legs move as one, and one where you hook the bottom foot (once on the pole) and use it as an anchor to push your top leg up and hook at the knee.
I prefer that one (I did it here at 3:00 if you need a visual :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sam4uWLNlEE). Also…be sure you try it on both sides. I definitely can side climb better on one side than the other. GL!!

my finish is pretty much perfect. I just am paranoid i'll hurt it. haha

I was thinking about steaming my pole with my iron, but would it be ok to do if there are any nicks in the chrome? I don't want to cause any issues with the coating.
