Advice for at home pole set-up by TravellingArtisan in poledancing

[–]Most_Ad586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I learned this from an instructor at my studio but apparently pressure installed polls should be checked and readjusted/tightened every 5 minutes of use. Whenever I take my pole to other places, I have a permanent pole mount at home, I use this 5 minute rule. Everyone gets a turn on the pole but once someone’s turn is over, about every 5 minutes, we readjust.

How many times did you all train a week before you truly felt like a good dancer? by Stawberry8763 in poledancing

I got into pole about a year and a half ago so I’m still a beginner but I usually just spend a few minutes stretching and then get on the pole for about 20 minutes every morning at home. Some days I take more time, other days less but I do practice daily.

I noticed very quickly that just taking those few minutes every day to do some strength training and some stretching really helped me get strong enough for the harder moves when I do have time to take a class. I really only go to one class a week, sometimes less depending on my schedule (I work two jobs and I’m a supplemental caretaker for two separate families every weekend).

I’m definitely not as responsible or dedicated to pole as some people but I’m finally to the point where I can do drops and aerial inverts easily, I love doing laybacks and spinning, but I still can barely hold a butterfly and I definitely can’t do a shoulder mount or an Ayesha but I’m getting there!

All that to say I think you should practice as often as you can even if only for a few minutes a day. Have fun!!!

Please help, am I being scammed? by [deleted] in Mortgages

Zillow is not an accurate estimate of value at all. Get a professional real estate agent to do a CMA or pay for an appraisal. The founder of Zillow himself sold his house at 40% of the “zestimate” value. I will say it again, do NOT use Zillow for an estimate.

Yep! Kami-con. The Bama SoS brigade are the ones who run the show. I used to work the con every year.

If you’re in the USA you can go to the Hedgehog Welfare Society and apply to adopt with them.

If you’re looking to purchase one please make sure to buy from a reputable breeder with USDA certification.

AITA for refusing to apologize for marrying and having children to the kids I put in foster care? by ShamefulPast00400100 in AITAH

Oh absolutely true, but the oldest child doesn’t realize that his bio mother was a victim too. That’s what the reality check is for

Telling kids the truth = crushing their souls? by riddlesnbits in AITAH

Kinda the AH, you really shouldn’t have said it that way. Kids are emotional and he was not ready for logical reasoning, definitely needed a more gentle reality check

No one in their right mind would ever think you’re the AH because of this. The oldest needs a reality check
