    The StudioVeena Pole is powdercoated which provides a more consistent grip experience when compared to finishes such as chrome, stainless and brass.  This is the reason we chose to sell a powdercoated pole.

    Property condition rules are generally tied to mortgages, insurance, and rental law.  

    In general if you own and occupy a home you can do with it as you will.  In short, if you want to allow your pipes to freeze and you are not endangering anyone but yourself that is your decision.

    Your rights as a tenant and your friends responsibilities as a landlord derive almost entirely from a properly executed lease.  Without this lease, in most states, you are a friend sharing a house and helping with expenses.

    CrazyKoster, I'll add it to my list.  I was able to view videos while I was on the open beta for IE on the X-Box they must have changed something.

    CapFeb the new site is even more mobile friendly than the current site, it would be nice to have a few people whose primary method of access is their phones.

    I find it very interesting that our industry tends to be very quick to draw a line between exotic dance and pole dance, exclaiming quite emphatically that they are not the same thing and that being an exotic dancer does not make you a pole dancer.

    Then we come to competitions, both large and small, and many of these same people will ban exotic dancers from their competition because they are considered professionals.

    Which is it? Are exotic dancers professional pole dancers or is pole making a clean break from the exotic dance world?  We can't have it both ways.

    if you only want to remove the ceiling fan temporarily there are metal and plastic  plates that are made to screw into the electrical box and effectively cover the hole left by the ceiling fan or any other light fixture you might remove.  You still need to properly cap and isolate the electrical wires to use these but it is a nice quick way to cover the hole.

    We can only get the pole made to ten feet.  If you need to go taller we can have a permanent pole made or if you are willing to go to 50mm (the SV pole is 45mm) I believe we can have a custom removeable SV Pole made for your ceiling height.

    Kobajo84 brings up a valid discussion point.  Can we disallow someone's participation in our business?

    The answer is, surprisingly, a business can discriminate on many things.  While its not generally considered good practice, our constitutional guarantee of "freedom of association" which is derived from our freedom to assemble, guaranteed by the first amendment, allows for businesses to discriminate on a surprising number of criteria with the notable exception being race.

    You can establish an insurance agency for declared members of a particular religion, you could have a store in which only women are allowed, you could have a restaurant that only serves patrons over a certain age and you can most definitely disallow exotic dancers from coming to your studio.

    There are of course notable exceptions to this rule regarding things like employment, housing and essential services but in general you can decide who you want in your establishment.

    Kenzie – A very common mistake is to setup a progression or culture that you can fail out of.  The great majority of participants in any extracurricular activity are merely looking to break up and vary their life a little bit, not become top pole performers.

    Try giving people new things to do with what they currently know rather than encouraging them to break into that next move.  Routines or variations would be good, keep your customers engaged but don't stress them out too much, they have enough opportunity for failure in the rest of their lives.

    There is no simple answer to this, however this is not untypical of young industries like pole.

    In the beginning people who simply have a passion for the purpose find their way into running businesses, the unique nature of the service is enough to bring in customers.  As time progresses, their business loses its shiny new appeal, and things mature, they find that it takes more than just passion to run a business.  Running and marketing a business is a skill unto itself and it often involves making decisions that run counter to who the business owner is.

    Business owners need to understand their value proposition, their market, their services, their limitations, the role their competition plays in the marketplace and many other things in order to stay ahead of the curve and many simply aren't cut out for it.  

    There is no shame in this, business like pole is a skill unto itself and the great majority lack enough interest to persue it to its end.
