Well, my hand now has a broken blister and my abs and back are burning, but I just had to attempt this move and I’m happy to say that it was somewhat of a success, though the failures are fun too!! It’s definitely not refined yet and I notice that my feet usually land at the level of my hand, but it’s a start. The trick is to get a good grip and kick out and up as strong and fast as you can.

Is there going to be an afterparty? Anyone know where?
-
I will be there Thursday March 18th- March 20th ( i am leaving early that saturday afternoon to get back to work!)
I will be taking the alethea and jenyne butterfly workshops on that thursday night! And have tier 1 tickets for the pro show and need to buy my amateur ones still!
Me too! I would have liked to take some classes with the Saturday girls, but we are seeing a Riverdance show at Radio City Music Hall at 2, then we have to get going home. -
Ok so ive just found out that there WILL be workshops available that weekend…!! USPDF should have more info on their site soon, but ill update once i know more details on price, length, date, time, ect…
On the 14th, USPDF sent me an email with the workshop schedule and the link to buy packages and sign up for workshhops. Did nobody else get one? I wondered why the workshops weren’t filling up very fast. -
Well if it is her, I wonder why she was allowed to submit a video that was over 6 1/2 minutes long when the rules limit it to 2-3 minutes?
-
i wonder if it was stephanie vera?
Wow. She’s an awesome dancer. I though she would get picked, but she said something about not having the money to go this year, which is a shame. If it’s her, I hope she could work something out and hopefully reconsider.
-
So who is coming to New York even if you don’t get picked? I am.
-
Finally we’re starting to hear back…. i havent heard anything either…. waaaahhhh!
Me neither, but if other girls are hearing from USPDF, hopefully it will be soon.

Thank you guys. Her, her sister, and 2 brothers were found abandoned at around 2 weeks old under my ex’s porch. They were very sick and needed bottle fed. Since I work long night shifts, I had to take them to the humane society because they needed special care and coldn’t be left alone that long. A couple weeks later, I went back and adopted the 2 girls cuz I felt bad for having to drop them off. I wanted the 2 boys too, but 7 cats total would be too much. They are thriving now and I love them so much.

You are great! Maybe that was my problem this whole time. I will heat it with a blow dryer or heating pad and tell you if it works for me when I get a chance. Thank you so very much!

You guys are lucky. I have an aweful time with my chrome finish. Does the temperature of the pole really make a difference? I had never heard of that before. I’ll have to check into it. Thanks!

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif OMG! I just found this thread and had to laugh because I am guilty of doing this very thing. I didn’t mean to film my kitten, but she was being so naughty and wouldn’t stop playing. I shoved her out of the room and she still came running back. It was something with my movement and seeing her reflection in the chrome. She still comes running when I start. But I guess I’m not the only one though. I’m going to have to find the other kitty pole videos that you all are talking about.

Oh, and perhaps it could be a pole dancer thing. I have found at least two people with user names that somehow reference cats.

I’m really glad this subject came up. I didn’t know much about finishes when I purchased my pole. I ended up getting a chrome X-pole because it was less expensive. Although I have to say my pole is very sturdy and of great quality overall, unfortunately, the chrome finish and I do NOT get along. It is very slippery and I need to do a lot of prep work on my skin before I can even begin dancing with it. Maybe it’s just my body chemistry? I’ve since tried different brands of poles in stainless and brass with no problems. I’m thinking of trading it in. You really need to "groove" with your pole. One of the biggest complaints I’ve heard about buying poles is that you can’t return them once they’ve been opened and used. That can pose a problem if you find the finish isn’t right for you (and an expensive one at that!). I would consider all the suggestions and recommendations you hear from everyone before you buy.

I had this problem when I first started doing inverts and more advanced spins and climbs. It was absolutely horrible. I would rest for a few days and take some Aleve before I danced. As my muscles gradually adjusted and grew stronger though, the pain went away and I don’t have the problem any longer.
