Thank you both. I definitely don’t want to look stumpy. I am 4’9″ lol.

I have sweaty hands that get worse when I am nervous learning new moves. I was getting very discouraged. I have used Dry Hands, Mighty Grip, and a Lupit grip pad. The Lupit grip works the best for me. The pink side wipes on your hands. You use the black side to wipe onto the pole. I had to do this when I used my chrome poles which were just too slippery for my hands. I just purchased a brass pole and so far it makes a huge difference. I do still use a bit of the grip on my palms but not nearly as much. Before I was having to clean my hands with alcohol and reapply the grip aid constantly throughout my sessions. I do fine on the well used chrome poles at the studio, but the brass works better for me. I hope to one day compete, too. Don’t give up!

I just ordered a Lupit standard 4.75 from PoleFitnessDancing.com. The ones that were reviewed here in older posts from Amazon are no longer available.
I wanted something that was thick and well made. I searched pole crash mat reviews and Lupit came out on top. https://www.polefitfreedom.com/the-best-pole-dancing-crash-mats-to-keep-you-safe/
The gym store brand prices on Amazon were about the same as Lupit and one online gym store was more than Lupit when I added shipping (They wanted over 100.00 to ship!). -
Thank you!

I understand. I am unsure as to whether I can afford a sub after this first year. 🙁 Have you seen The Pole Dancer (Miglena) on Instagram or YouTube? She has some really great tutorials available at no cost. I actually started with hers before I found this site.

I have a notebook filling up with choreography taken from YouTube and IG. I save them to my favorites first. Then I make a note on each one as to where it was found. Sometimes I will put in parenthesis what hand/leg goes where for what move. I also have been known to draw a little stick figure of how to do a move. Anything that helps you to remember.
I highly recommend purchasing a Veena sub when they go on sale if you can manage it. This site is well worth the price for at your fingertips excellent tutorial information overload.

Thank you both for your answers, too. 🙂

What is IG?

I use the clear rubbing alcohol. I have never used the one with the food coloring in it. I don’t know if that would make any difference other than having a nice smell.

I am 51 and have been poling for about 3 months. I started poling at home with Jamilla’s dvd’s and my Xpole back in ’10. I only did it for about 3 months back then, moved, and had nowhere to set up my pole so I quit. Now I moved again and pulled it back out to start all over.
