You will generally have your pole within a week of ordering it.

lilmissre – I looked your phone up and it appears that its 3g chipset may not provide the best overall bandwidth management. You'll be able to play videos off sites with dollars to support massively scalable video infrastructures such as Youtube or Vimeo but will probably struggle on other networks.
I'm sorry I couldn't provide a better answer 🙁

Nanette,
How are you viewing the site? Are you using your phone? Your computer? A Tablet?

The two you will need to pay are ASCAP and BMI. The only way to find out what your fee schedule will be is to contact them as it varies based on geographic location, square footage of your studio, expected audience etc…
In most cases you need to just pay them, even if you don't play any music they license since, music licensing law is one of the few places in US regs where you are guilty until proven innocent. If you don't pay, they will eventually send you a letter demanding payment and it will be your job to prove that you don't play any of their music and not their job to prove that you did.
It's a huge racket but its the way things are. Restaraunts, coffee shops, exercise studios and other establishments just pay these fees either directly or as a pass through with wired music services, simply because the cost and hassle of fighting it is too great.
The benifit is that if you are properly licensed you can play anything at your studio and never have to worry if its legal or not.

monicasteez – Two ideas:
1) We offer free shipping on X-Poles so you can get a chrome pole in any diameter for $329, which is thirty more than you want to spend but is pretty close.
2) The other option is a little mynx. You do have to bolt something into your ceiling but unless you have concrete or tin ceilings this is really not a problem. Even in a rental situation repairing the hole when you leave will take 1 minute, a butter knife, a two dollar tub of spackle and be virtually invisible. The Lil Mynx spinner will come in right at that $300 mark and it is really, really quick to take up and down.

The lessons work on the ipad and the kindle fire. However on the kindle fire you will have to set your browser to desktop mode.

I did just find a bug that if you click on a link on facebook that takes you here your login is being cleared. But it doesn't affect your ability to log back in. This could be what you are experiencing. I'm working on it as we speak.

You can change your password by visiting the Profile page then clicking "Edit Profile"
There should be no login issues like this going on right now. We had a login expiration issue that could have logged you out once but wouldn't have continually logged you out. This has been resolved.
Generally continuous logouts are due to a browser issue. Specifically spyware or malware on your system or faulty browser plugins. A good way to test this is to download a new browser and try that so if you are useing Internet Explorer for example try downloading Firefox at http://www.firefox.com or Chrome at http://www.google.com/chrome

We are a young industry and there are a TREMENDOUS number of certs out there right now. These certs all share one commonality, PROFIT. People pay the certifier for their stamp of approval. Generally people take that certification and use it to make money since they are now CERTIFIED and therefore appear to have some level of expertise. There are even studios who guarantee you a job if you take their very expensive certification course. Profit is why everyone has one or offers one.
This, of course, doesn't make certifications bad. Certifications can be a very effective way to initially measure an instructor. If they come from a certification agent that you trust. We have some very good certifications in our industry and we have some very, very bad ones too.
Because our industry is young, and everyone is still trying to find their place in it, there is far more value in researching the instructor or studio you are planning on using than any sticker on the door can ever tell you.

When you order a pole from StudioVeena.Com your order is submitted within minutes to the X-Pole warehouse in Canada. After submission it can take X-Pole up to two business days to ship your pole. After shipping it will take 2 to 5 business days to reach you.
We will send you tracking info as soon as we receive it as well, this can be up to two days after the pole is shipped however as they are working on communication mechanisms in the Canadian warehouse.

I have also been through much change, careerwise, in my life. Right out of high-school I started working as a professional programmer at a development shop in my home town. I was writing code for old green-screen mainframes which was boring as hell.
This frustration with work led me to dual-path my life. I maintained jobs while also working on businesses generally focused around web-technology and marketing.
My career jumps found me going from professional programmer to restaraunt manager to Geek Squad store manager to the executive team at a rapidly growing startup and finally leading a large development team and acquisition integration at a large marketing firm in the Bay Area. This path was filled with frustrations with my workplace and even a couple layoffs. It wasn't neccessarily fulfilling but it was educational. I took many lessons away from every place I worked.
Through this whole journey I built businesses and toyed with integration of technology into process. Some of these ventures were profitable, some of them didn't even see the light of day. Over and over again I tried, and my attempts tended to develop a theme. More and more I was testing social integration into different industries. Build, test, evaluate, refine, wash, rinse, repeat.
Around 2008 Veena and I struck on this idea for a pole dance based community and education resource. In fact this was more of a catharsis than an actual attempt at profit. It allowed us to work together during our seperation due to my taking a job 2000 miles away after a layoff. Eighteen months later the responsibilities of our partnership weighed so heavily on us we needed to make a decision:
"Do I continue working my way up the corporate ladder with its increasing responsibilities and time committments and let StudioVeena.Com go away or do we take a pay cut and give StudioVeena.Com the attention and time it deserves?"
The rest is history 🙂
I worked hundred hour weeks and more for over a decade with hopes that my extracurriculars would turn into something more fulfilling for me and my family. After alot of work, alot of lessons and alot of time my efforts paid off.
If you're luck you get eighty years on this planet, once those are gone they are gone. While you might have to do things you don't enjoy to meet your basic needs use the rest of the time to pursue things that mean more to you and with any luck you will find yourself doing the more fulfilling things more and more.

Until very recently the only way to upload something from an iPad or iPhone was using an app, which is an expensive and complex undertaking for a site with as much functionality as StudioVeena.Com.
Recent updates have allowed the iPad to upload via the web but it still doesn't support large uploads such as videos very well. However, I am looking into a few potential solutions.
So the short answer is: "right now the technology limits us while in the future that could change quickly"

Search will work but other things are weighted higher than profiles so forum topics that the user comments in etc… tend to come up first. The best way to find a user is to simply go to the friends link at the top of the page.
