First of all, as long as I am having fun with pole that is all that matters! Any progress is progress even if its not what I hoped for.
Post videos even if I feel I'm not improving/ not good enough, it is what it is.
Find new pole music
Become stronger and work on more inverted moves
Put up pole pics on my wall for inspiration
Work on flow and "stage presence"
Support and encourage polers in any way I can
Dance for my husband more

The site looks marvelous! I like how it is organized and how it looks. Good job guys!

I just received the Poletopia lotion.

Just to clarify it is made by Pole Physics NOT Poletopia, we just carry items polers may want.

If you have dry skin, it helps to have some moisturizer before you pole which is why I suggested it rachelskye b/c she mentioned moistness seem to help. Moisturized skin helps grip the pole, over moisturized and other factors will cause slippage. It may not be for everybody. This applies to all pole grip aids/skin care because it will depend on what your preferences and how your particular skin chemistry is.

Melanie-I’ll send you a PM with suggestions.

Has anyone here used that lotion and what’s your thoughts on it? I love my ITAC but I find it hard ot apply thinly and evenly onto the legs, a lotion might spread better.

I personally use it, as does Jamilla Deville. I know there are a few others on here that use it so hopefully they will chime in. It is pretty new though. Another option may be trying a spray on grip aid? It may be in the middle ( kinda inbetween lotion and itac) since it sticks but it is still thin.

rachelskye- There is lotion grip aid that is made just for pole dancers. I agree that moisturized skin helps you stick! I personally use it as well.

A review: http://www.poletopia.com/blog/

Warming up and grip aids are the only things I know of. If its in an enclosed room, a humidifier helps me esp in the winter. There are many grip aids, it depends on your body chemistry and if you have dry or sweaty hands. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Hookedonpole- I wrote a review on what I personally think of the grip aid and what the manufacture says about it. I hope that helps you some.

I’ve never seen this movie. Because of the dance scene I think I’ll add it to my list! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_santa.gif

It was at a local store. I would try any stores that have patio furniture perhaps.

[velvetvixen]

Veena’s online lessons do have great selection! I personally use them too. A bonus is that she covers strength training, transitions (most dvds don’t cover this as they focus on moves) and if you need help, she can answer your questions personally!

I have quite a collection of pole dvds so it does depend on what you want to work on. Honestly I’d only recommend maybe ten of them, a lot of pole dvds aren’t too good in my opinion. If I could only pick one set however, I would pick Art of Pole. It literally covers everything from how to warm up, safety, and has the most pole dvds compared to the other dvds. I also have every move that’s covered on Art of Pole written down if you wonder whats covered. I hope that helps.

How thrilling! I’m so happy to hear you get your pole. You could pick a great song and record a celebration video when you get it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

I really like http://www.sparkpeople.com It has everything from food trackers (I can even track it on my phone) to groups(teams)/ forums. It claims to be the biggest health/fitness site. There are two pole groups on there too. I also like the group sexy upgrade. Its a bit overwhelming at first due to how big it is but then once you figure out what your goals are, it can help keep you motivated. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
