Congrads! That’s awesome you won! Out of curiosity, how did they determine a winner? Judges or the audience response?

I have been debating the exact same thing. Veena, is the rooms your considering on different floors like mine? I have hardwood downstairs with shorter ceiling and carpeted upstairs (with no nice wood beneath it) with tall ceilings. I’m having a hard time figuring out which room to use as well, esp since I don’t have much experience with pole dancing. I was trying to figure out about the temperatures b/c it can affect your grib as well thanks to your article:
https://www.studioveena.com/info/2009/05/I know heat rises and it tends to be warmer upstairs than downstairs but will it get too warm in the summer to affect grip? I have a fan I could use. Downstairs is always cool in the winter and summer too so I cant say its too hot to work out, but is that best for the pole grip? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif I guess is it better to warm it up or cool it down? Does anyone know? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
Just something else to consider. Let us know what you decide. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Veena- Thanks for the link. Written by the best! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I took a look around and saw the article on how the weather affects your grip/pole. Good idea about stretching afterward vs. before.
Charley-thanks for the info.
"You want to be limber before dancing but not so limber that you can tear a muscle which I have done from being overly stretched out. Stretching weakens your muscles so consider the integrity of a rubber band – if it’s too stretched out it will break."I never thought about overstretching myself but could easily seeing me do that trying to learn to do the splits. So glad you mentioned that!

Congratulations on the job offer and finding a studio that supports males as well! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif You will be influencing others while having a blast. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Good luck with everything.

Oh, I like those! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Your pictures are better, everywhere I saw those said it had a compartment but didn’t show it. Can you feel the compartment or is it seamless against your foot? They have them in clear and other colors too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
I’m not partial to the clear b/c my feet will look like "bare feet with hooves"( that what it looks like to me lol) but if I can’t find anything else then I will probably consider them or a material like it. Maybe I could put something over the clear part (over the toes, not the heel) and make it interchangeable…maybe fabric that stays on with velcro? Of course I dont know how that would hold up on the pole…any ideas? I love the idea of having one shoe that goes with many "outfits."Meleania- I will check out the Ellies for sure, hopefully that brand will work.
pixiedustbelly- thanks for telling me about :www.shoebuy.com Sounds great!
Roxy-Pink- Good suggestion. I called around and I found one store that has some, which will at least help me with size. I’m hoping b/c of Halloween coming up I will have a better chance finding some locally!
Trena- good suggestion about watching the sizes esp if I can’t try them on. When in doubt call the company!
cbella13- I saw those shoes and loved the idea of the clear base that has the secret compartment. How truly customizable are they? What have you put in the base so far? -
Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoyed your special day! On day isn’t enough, celebrate the whole week. he he https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

You can always do a bit of everything. I take a class 2x a month and do the rest at home (following dvds/online.) That way I can stay motivated and not spend a fortune either!

Look on the left " Pole Dance schools" and it has studios listed by state. Of course online classes are listed as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Have fun! I want to convince my husband to let me get a pole early for b-day/Christmas present. he he For now I just use the pole in class and practice/do floor work at home. What made you decide to get an x-pole? What other poles did you look at? I only know of a few and need to do more research… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hey, I just joined this site as well and live in Cincinnati, OH. You’re so lucky to get an X-Pole! Are you planning on learning at home/ take classes/ or both? Congrads on new marriage. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I was looking on you tube the other day for something like this but I didn’t find any true tutorials. I looked for your name but couldn’t find you. I am private as well. Please add me? Thanks. youtube.com/velvetarrow
