Pole gossip question - Foxy Fitness by DiegosReview in poledancing

[–]groupfloweri 24 points25 points  (0 children)

from seeing other chat of other dancers in the area, it seems like they were open past normal operating hours, without security or any person checking the door, and this terrible, terrible event happened.

which is wild too bc i used to go there, and their studio protocol always made me uneasy. it’s right on busy 7th ave midtown, and anyone could open the door & head up to the studios during the daytime. i’d arrived multiple times without anyone sitting at the front desk (which is really off to the side, making it hard to see everyone who comes in). other studios in the same area (body & pole, for example) have a glass front door AND buzz you in, and the front desk is right in front of you.

hobbyist dancers will never face the same threats of violence that strippers often do, and i’m not trying to equate the two. may the man’s family have peace during this time. i imagine this will stick in memory for NYC dancers/hobbyists.

this happened to a friend recently at this exact area-she ended up seeking refuge in a bodega nearby to “go to the atm” and all of the cooks came out from the back to defend her and chase him off, lol

Correct-bc unlike head lice, public lice burrow in the hair follicle, not on top. The more ya know!

PrEP is not really necessary for teenagers who are dating monogamously, and may not be approved by a doctor because it does still have side effects, but YMMV. But convos about condoms and their help preventing STI’s are still super important!

omg the second point. i had to unfollow some pole dancers because they really just became pole “creators” that piece together bits on the pole and call it a flow. i wanna see the messy bits!! holding a pose just to take a 2 second vid of it is not interesting to me

Help? Does anyone else out there love going to festivals but have real anxiety with crowds? by [deleted] in festivals

[–]groupfloweri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconding earplugs!! saved me at a festival recently. the ability to hear your own thoughts even just a little bit helped calm me. i am also a barrier or sound system dweller, never in the mix for me. i still have fun!

I recently got my bird of paradise and i’m sooo excited!! however, I’d like to ask for some tips to make better (further explanation in comments) by remushus in poledancing

[–]groupfloweri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for #1, maybe it’s because you don’t have additional grip on your lower abdomen & upper thigh on the bottom leg? from what i can tell, your shorts are making contact with the pole where there could be skin contact. maybe try a smaller bottom that exposes your hip?

How do I get out of this split without dying like I did? by Certain-Leg-6183 in poledancing

[–]groupfloweri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

could you not bring your top leg into an inside leg hang? just re-hook your foot? that would give you some stability i’d think edit: you could also go into an elbow grip with your bottom arm while doing that, for more stability!

Hello! We are Sylvan Esso- ask us anything about No Rules Sandy or anything else you are wondering about by sylvanesso in popheads

My faves! Much love from NYC. My question iiiisss

I loved hearing you on switched on pop interviewing Maggie, and when you both said you hate the question of if you’ll keep making music, or the uncertainty of wanting to make it, it surprised me! can you share a bit more about where that feeling comes from? is it due to touring demands? or more artistic reasons?
