Wow, I've been asking for the same advice at the pole studio. Every time I dance, I huff and puff like crazy. By mid song I couldn't execute a nice invert. I realized that I have the same problem, forget to breath and keep holding my breathe when I dance. I do cardio, I jog and swim, but I guess I was doing it at a steady pace I last way longer than dancing. Dancing is like playing racquetball to me, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, then I couldn't catch up… and some moves (like body rolls) I seem to use too much energy to do and when I do I hold my breath a lot. So ppl suggest I sing to the song while I'm dancing, and really slow down my moves (I seem to go into it too fast without any break). So I watched my dance vs. other dancer, yeah I move too fast and other seem to take a few sec just stand and hold a pose, playing with the hair and touching their body, that seem to be the breathing break. And holding a trick and count 1,2,3,4 and breath while at it. It helps! But I still have to keep practicing and get use to slow down my moves.

My husband got me a #600 sand paper (the finest one) to sand down the pole, didn't work. So he got me a slighty thicker one, #400, seems to scratch the pole more ( I can see all the scratch mark under the light). Feels better on my hand, but once I do an invert, here we go again, went straight down. Sigh…maybe I try other method. I also order some thigh high boots. Maybe I will just have to wear the pleather boots and use it as a grip lol.

I bought an xpole xpert when I started my level 2 class so I don't have to keep going to the studio and practice. I have an xpert gold and my friend has an xpert chrome, both of them is super slippery. I tried to do a basic invert and slip down to the bottom right away. I rub myself with grip and rub grip all over my pole and still going straight down!! I can do some basic spins but that's pretty much it. I asked some ppl and they did use sand paper to sand it down to get more grip, I think I might have to do that so i can practice my invert and dismount. Frustrated cuz I can't do any pullups and invert and ended up have to drive back to the studio to practice. Gonna get some sand paper tomorrow and see how it works.
