    @chemgoddess and @jivete – I never bought silks from a fabric stores but I would love too since I really want to get purple. Can you please help me understand? For Silks, I should get tricot 108″ fabric? If I wanted to get 12″ or 14″ in length how much yards should I get?

    March 10, 2015 at 3:21 pm in reply to: Static or spinning pole for beginner?

    When I first started pole, I started on static. Once I felt more comfortable with my tricks I moved it to spin. Everyone is different. I know some ladies who did the reverse. Here are my thoughts… I would start with static. With spin you need more strength to hold on. And if you are just a beginner with no upper body, static helps you build it plus you have more control. There is also the fact of getting dizzy. I don’t know about you. But I didn’t get use to it at first and that makes it harder to try and learn something and be dizzy at the same time. I would say try both just to see how you feel but for me static was the way to go.

    @PrincessButtercup – Is it an attachment to the pole? Or does it include the whole pole?
    Are they expensive?

    I have a small hand as well and 50mm just doesn’t cut it. It’s just too big to hold. I use 45mm. I would say to go with 45mm. The thicker poles are better for tricks and the skinner poles are better for spins. The smaller you go the harder to hold the trick because there is less pole to grab. So you have to squeeze more.

    I agree with Veena. What type of newbie are you? There are so many conditions you can do to master your Ayesha but all depends on where you are at. Let us know and I’m sure we can all give you pointers 😉

    I’m sure you have heard it from everyone hear but it is common. Sad but common. I think we all experienced this in one way or form. I know I did. First, you must have thick skin whether you know a trick or not someone is always going to say something. Don’t let that stop you… GO TO CLASS!! This will only make you stronger. I did the same thing but then I was like “who cares! I love this and nothing is going to stop me”. I then started meeting a lot of nice ladies and you will too. Just give it a chance. You’ll know who to talk too. =)

    January 22, 2015 at 10:57 am in reply to: Stress while choreographing a routine

    I get nervous all the time! Not just for group performances but also solos. Here are some tips that work for me… first find the song and you need to LOVE it! Listen to it a few times and image what type of story you are trying to tell with those lyrics. Try to come up with either the beginning or the end and one trick. Doesn’t mean a whole minute. For example, right now I just finished my routine I’m going to perform in 2 weeks. I started off with just sliding up and down the pole with my silks. That’s all I needed to get inspired. Once you have a few things, record it. Even if it doesn’t look good. Keep adding. Once you have something you can always go back and change it. But if you keep changing it, you’ll never get there. We are are worst critic.

    January 15, 2015 at 6:51 pm in reply to: what is this move called?

    It’s called a fang. There are a few ways to get into it. You can cross release, slide to an arrow ( which is similar) and reposition the arm. But you need to be careful, you can get off balanced. I think I saw someone do it from going into a brass monkey. I’m going to try it. 😉
