Hi Lyra pole. I’ll send you an email.

You can contact Melissa Manuel on Facebook. I just met her in Ireland at a training camp back in June & she has a studio space in Watar where she teaches.

Sorry I meant Veena, damn butter fingers.

So Verna you only used the bottom half of your xstage pole & you had the pole coated as well?

Dorian,

What would the shipping be like for a 36″ hoop sent to Hong Kong?

You can always write to X-pert in the UK. They are always planning new courses in different locations all the time so if they know the is interest then they can look into possibly setting one up sooner.

Although both courses were very good I found this one particularly good due to the spotting factor. Also remember that I took the Vertical Fance course back in 2007 so things in the pole industry have changed a lot since then. I don’t how or even if the Vertical dance course has changed since I took it.

Hi everyone,

Since this last post I have taken the level 1,2,3 & 4 of the X-pert certification program & now I am even an X-pert instructor teaching the course to others in HK & other places tentatively booked for next year including New Zealand & Lebanon. This really is a great course for instructors & students who want to learn how to pole the correct & safe way. There is a huge emphasis on spotting & I also love the way the course gives variations of almost all moves for those who are either not strong enough yet or for those who find the move too simple.

Actually last year every video was for pole but since the start of 2014 every weekly video has been of hoop so you will definitely find them on my page. Already half a year worth of weekly tutorials.

I offer a weekly Paradise Move of the Week on YouTube which you can subscribe to. My studio channel is called Pole Paradise Studio.

Hi Henry,

I have about 6 male students scattered between my pole, hoop & silks classes & my husband is a full time instructor. Can’t wait to have you join us when you are in HK.

Ok cool will get straight onto that vote now 🙂

[symonesal]

Well honestly I took the course about 7 or 8 years ago now. I did all 3 levels from beginner to advanced. I wasn’t rushing through, just took my time steadily but if I remember correctly I think I finished all 3 levels somewhere between 6-9 months.

[symonesal]

Yes I did do the Vertical Dance one but not the IPDFA. The Bertical Dance one is run by KT Coates from the UK. A huge driving force in the pole community. She is the one who started the push to get pole dancing into the Olympics.

[symonesal]

I suggest doing the Vertical Dance qualification course.
