After using the X pole stage I can really see how this pole wobbles..even during her handsprings. I have also use a Platinum stages, stage and that one the pole its self wobbles a bit but this pole looks like the whole thing will tip over https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif Its also stainless steel which is the hardest finish to handle. They also conveniently place that dark edge around the video so you don’t notices the mats they have placed over the poles base are moving all around. LOL

It makes me sad when ladies are embarrassed to tell friends and family about their new sport. In the neighborhood where I live I get mixed reactions about my pole dance oh… and the purple hair https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Even my family members question my desire to pole dance….I’m sure they all think I’m secretly a dancer in a club. lol Here’s how I look at it….No other form of exercise has gotten me into better shape and has been soooo much fun!! I should know I’ve been a certified trainer for 8 yrs and have been working out longer. I make sure to tell people that too. I want them to know its not the first form of exercise I’ve tried! I figure if people think I’m a "stripper" well so what? Let them think that…I wouldn’t be ashamed. The best thing I can do is be the best person I can be, friends and family will see that my kids are VERY well behaved, my husband and I have a great relationship and I"m in fab shape and a great mood!! The Latin dances we let our children perform started out as sexual street dances https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Grinding, hip wiggling and shoulder shimming. Things can be as evil https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif or as innocent https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif as WE make them out to be…..hey the media does it to us all the time!! I like to have videos bookmarked to show people examples…All my youtube vids can be seen on a phone so please feel free to use them as an example…I show people all the time. I pick the ones that show strength and beauty. People are usually look at me after a video like WOW https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif you must be crazy strong…and brave https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif hehe. The longer we pole dancers try to keep our dancing a secret the longer it will take for others to accept it.

Yes in the US the joist are farther apart than the UK. Again something I wish X pole US would include in there instructions!!
US…center on one joist
UK….place between two joists.

I can not over split…but can do a decent Jade(inverted split) very very close to 180 but I could see where the ability to do an over split would help. The trick for me was to really grip the the arm pit and its not so much about holding the pole with your inner thigh like the in the hip hold…I mean you still do hold with the thigh but how you hold your torso seems to be more important. Its holding a lot of the pole against the whole side of your body. Seems like you really have to lock in the move with your torso more than anything. I can hold it every time but I can’t consistently do the full split……still trying to figure out what the trick is to that. Here’s what has worked for me so far…. If I remember right it seems to be helpful to fully extend the free leg first and then finish extending the leg that you are holding. BUT I always see the jade performed in the opposite way??? Also I have found if you do the the Jade with both hands even farther away from the body say….on the upper calf/ankle….you body is in a different position than in the jade with hand lower on the leg. This will be one of the new lessons, I am determined to perfect this move!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I haven’t worked on it for a while so maybe this will be a move I focus on. I’ll keep you guys posted if I have a break though.. lol

Don’t forget you can use your web cams in the studio veena chat room and if you don’t want your pole jam public you can go into your own room. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Awww Sascha….That suck big time, https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif I know you were really exited about this.The best thing we can do as pole dancers is to keep on poling, and telling our friends how great it is. Its strange how in America we are really obsessed about sex…I mean we use it to sell everything! BUT pole dancing for fun and exercise raises eyebrows https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Hopefully some day they’ll all grow up and no longer be afraid of the scary pole dancers https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Andrea, you think you need to lose weight? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif Your a beautiful girl!! I bet if you took the snuggie off while you danced you’d lose 5lbs https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Ok that was just silly. Please don’t try any of the fad diets most of them require you to cut out something….that’s not good. Choosing to be Vegan or Vegetarian is perfectly fine. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif Just don’t do it as a way to lose weight. Everyone pretty much said all I would have said….so thanks guys https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif you all gave great advice and saved me a heap of typing. LOL. One more thing….don’t forget about alcoholic beverages, soda and energy drinks…..you can add a lot of calories to your diet by consuming beer and high calorie girlie https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurfin.gif drinks. Oh and I think some one mentioned this but eat sloooow it takes about 20 min for your brain and stomach to get together and say "hey wait a minute we’re full!" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
I always say…Everything in moderation. Even poling hehe.

Hey….This is a site about support https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Calling any woman a derogatory name is rude! We as ladies are waaaay to quick to pass judgment on one another!!!
In ANY and EVERY work place there are people who are great at their job and then there are people who hardly make an effort. I just don’t like the word stripper…..thats just me. I don’t even know why https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif LOL. Its sooo true that you don’t need a pole at all to be an amazing dancer. Have any of you tried my booty moves out yet?? They’re not easy right? Learning how to move and control your body…crawling included!….its not easy.
One more thing I want to point out…I was talking about the difference (for me) between a stripper and a exotic dancer….One being a perosn who looks like she doesn’t care. Well I feel that with ANY job weather its working at McDonald’s or at fine restaurant. If your not happy at your job it will show. Please ladies don’t think I was implying that the girl who looks like she doesn’t care is "trashy" for lack of a better term. I was only trying to describe the definition of the two words in my mind. As I write this I feel I should just get over my dislike of the word stripper. I truly feel that we ladies are amazing… lets support each other!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -

AdministratorMarch 24, 2009 at 4:12 am in reply to: trying to convince parents pole dancing isn’t skanky!Hey Neke girl….I felt really sad when I read that you were upset by some of the posts. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I have a huge amount of respect for exotic dancers. I think exotic dancers are true performers which YOU ARE. I love the videos you have posted!! In my mind a woman can take off every shred of clothing….dance buck naked and she is still and Exotic dancer NOT stripper. The women in the clubs are true pros…they work set after set there is a difference (in my mind) between the "stripper" who looks uninterested and just takes it off and an exotic dancer. The Exotic dancer performs!! Captures you, makes girls want to be her and men well…turn into a puddle of mush…LOL I think you can tell when a woman is doing it for the wrong reason.
One more thing Neke…there is actually a LOT of other exotic dancers on the site. I think most of them are too busy to post one the forum though. lol We do love and respect you!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif -
