Well Studio Veena wouldn’t even exist if my husband and I hadn’t had two big life events occur!!!
I had found a great space to rent for my studio In a performing arts center! I had ordered all the poles…things were looking good! We had recently purchased our first home and we were settling in nicely. We even had a live in babysitter, my husbands brother had a room in the basement which gave him a place to live rent free and us freedom to go out at night!! Ok things were good.
Well my husbands parents had come to visit and I just wasn’t feeling right soooo I did some counting on my calendar and hmmmm I was late https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif So I took the pregnancy test. POSITIVE?? I really, really, didn’t believe it. I had finally convinced myself that I was not going to have anymore kids and was moving forward with my passion for pole dance. I cried…now what I thought. So the next day my husband calls me and well guess what…lost his job!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I’m thinking this is it!! I’m just gonna curl up and die (I’m so optimistic) lol. Well being the wonderful provider my husband is he found a great new job with in a few weeks BUT it was in California we were living in Minneapolis. So he moved out there to start on the job and I stayed back to get the house ready for sale, and let my oldest finish out the school year. He miss the whole first part of the pregnancy. We are like two peas in a pod so being apart for over 3 months was awful.
I wanted to still teach… but how? I couldn’t commit to the studio anymore because we would be moving. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif well….WHAT IF I DID LESSONS ONLINE!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif My husband say’s yeah that’s a great idea BUT what if we take it a step farther….create a pole dance community!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif and Studio Veena was born https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif
Sometimes that terrible situation can turn into a wonderful opportunity. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I’m thankful every day that I have my lil baby Henry, he’s amazing!!!

Veena, how many poles do you have??? How tall are they, what rooms are they in, how long have you had each one of them??? Are they all chrome??? And what are your favorite letters of the alphabet???
Give us some juice to work with and maybe we’ll suggest something you like. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
I have 5 one 45mm and four 50mm https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif but only because I had planned on having a physical studio, back in MN before I moved…not because I’m a crazy X pole lady. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif LOL I only use the 45mm and the 50 is the 12footer so I’m using part of another 50 as an extension. My 45 is really my fav because its the first X I used and its one of the poles I used in the lessons!
45 is in the living room
50 is in the bedroom heheI have had them all the same amount of time but have used the 45 the longest.
All chrome
I like the letters V, S, k

Here is my experience. In the order of least to most grippy Stainless steel, Chrome, Titanium Gold I have not tried brass or powder coated. I always here that brass is the best for grip. Keep in mind that with all poles the humidity level, pole temp, body temp, room temp, cleanliness of the pole, your skin type (dry oily) and size of pole all factor into the grip. Stainless steel is very hard to use in a cold dry climate, I like to perform my spins in static mode so Titanium Gold isn’t a good fit, if I ever get use to spin mode https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_puke_l.gif I may have to get a TG someday. I love the chrome the most…not too sticky not too slippery, its a good pole from beginner to advanced! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Yeah right Veena!!! Picture a Goddess like you ever being shy!!!!! I don’t believe it!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
Haha..Oh Jungle I was really shy and worried constantly what everyone was thinking about me, I was one nervous nilly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif I hated being shy, I missed out on a lot of things because of it, but NO MORE https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif life’s too short for shy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
Are we talkin about the popcorn looking stuff….if so I have used my X on that type of ceiling before with no trouble, a few small pieces flaked off when I scraped the dome against the ceiling while taking it down once… but it wasn’t noticeable. Just be careful not to get any little pieces in your eyes. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

Yes like Lola said..A full arms length while holding the pole is the best, I prefer even more space…I love to really extend my spins!! You can get by with less space, but you will need to be careful not to hit your feet an on anything while performing spins. Spins in static mode require the most space. Just be careful and understand your static spins might suffer a bit because of the smaller space. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I’m trying guys, but I just can’t think of anything good yet. I don’t even know if my pole is male or female…..this is why we stopped having children cuz we ran out of names https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Maybe I should name one of my poles after the one and only girl name we liked?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurfin.gif but then what do I name the other? ahhh I don’t know https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Welcome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I use to be so painfully shy that I couldn’t go up to a fast food counter to order food!! Pole dance was part of my transformation out of my shell. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif What the others are saying is true I don’t allow rude comments to be posted to the videos on this site. Everyone one here is super supportive anyway so I doubt that would ever be a problem. So if you ever get brave enough please share with us. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Yes no no no jumping!! Not even in the beginning. Focus on LIFTING your hips above your head, don’t kick your leg with force….it might LOOK like we are kicking into an invert because dancers tend to keep at least one leg straight on the way up, it looks pretty…it shouldn’t be used to help you get up. The proper safe and effective strength builder is no kicking and no jumping. The invert should really focus on the abs, biceps and upper back. Think of drawing your legs up not using force. Everyone is always in a rush to invert so they can learn all those cool moves, but if you don’t have the proper forum and strength you are far more likely to injure yourself and not be able to pole at all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

I just opened my new x-pole and see that it does’nt screw into the ceiling like my old pole. has anyone had a problem with it slipping?
The X pole doesn’t screw into the ceiling!! That’s what makes it so great…you can put it where ever you want. Just be sure to read the instructions for putting up the pole….one thing they don’t mention, in the US our joist are farther apart then the UK where X pole was created. You will want to place the pole on center of ONE joist not spanning TWO. for more X pole tips please read this thread…find it under the topic dance poles
