The Complete Idiot's Guide to Exotic and Pole Dancing Illustrated Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this book is a great reference manual. As a pole instructor - I focus more on tricks than dance, fitness vs. sensuality - I did find a few things in this book I would like to add to my warm ups.
I've never been an exotic dancer a day in my life so I cannot comment on other sections beyond the pole. I thought the lapdance and chair sections looked fun.
This book is easy to follow and understand. I think some of the movement is "over done" and far too dramatic but (hey what do I know? I'm a pole monkey) if you want a book to learn to be "sexy" for your hubby then this a great book full of all sorts of ideas and easy to follow choreography.
This is a good broad spectrum book about exotic dance. I would suggest buying it and looking through it if you are considering taking any pole fitness/dance or exotic type dance classes to see how you feel. It's easy sometimes to feel a little silly doing hip circles and rolls in class with a bunch of other women (but it gets very fun and silly!)
I really am enjoying this read, the anecdotes are funny, the music list is great, this book is just full of all sorts of cute little ideas. The instruction really is easy to follow - this is the main thing that I liked about it.
If you are looking for any type of advanced instruction this book is not for you. The most advanced this book gets is basic inversion. If you are an advanced pole dancer looking to be an instructor, this is a good read for you. You'll want to pay attention to the breakdowns of the moves and the sequences she explains them in. If you've never been an exotic dancer and want to teach, this is a great book about sensual movement - if that's the type of classes you would like to teach. I would even suggest allowing your students to borrow it.
If you're a "pole gymnast" (I just like the term, that's how I see it) then you'll likely not gain much out of this book. I would recommend Vertical Dance Videos to you. I'd also look into books by Eric Franklin which discuss more anatomy and body conditioning for flexy, bendy moves on the pole.
All in all - good beginners book, good reference manual for instructors, the DVD is fun!

Metolius Eco Ball Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My friends and I do some heavy weightlifting in another friend's garage. We were running into issues on a hot day with sweat slicking up our hands and making it hard to hold the bar. So we decided we need some chalk, but we didn't want to leave chalk dust all over the garage.
This Eco Ball was *perfect*. It gave us the grip we need, and didn't leave chalk marks all over the floor, equipment, or us. It doesn't even really show up on your hands. The ball is especially useful for keeping the dust under control. I have a feeling that even if I got this kind of chalk outside of the ball form, it would get everywhere.
So, I don't know about rock-climbing, but for weightlifting, this little Eco Ball gets the job done. When we finally use up the one we have, I will definitely be getting another one.

Lil Mynx Rotator Dance Pole Polished Stainless Steel Free Bottle of Mighty Grip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased my Lil'Mynx rotator pole 2 yrs ago & I have had nothing but problems. After about 2 months it would make a horrible sqeaking noise as it spun.
6 months in, the spring popped and destroyed my ceiling.
Today I went to put it up & the base has broken.
I wish I had spent the extra money and purchased an Xpole or a Platinum Stages.

The "Rotator" has a smart designed bearing assembly in the base that allows the pole to rotate freely. It also has a lockout pin that will lock the pole into place and make the pole stationary when desired. It's like 2 poles in 1! The polished stainless steel Lil' Mynx "Rotator" is a one-piece high polished stainless steel pole. It looks just like chrome. All Lil' Mynx come with a black base and black slider tube (the smaller adjustable tube that couples the ceiling mount). It comes standard for an 8'-10' ceiling with hardware pack.This pole is also available in your choice of Red, White, Black or Pink.Free bottle of Mighty Grip included.

X-Pole Dance Pole 45mm set SPORT MODEL Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before you buy, be aware this is NOT a spinning pole. It is a stationary pole. I did not know this when I purchased it (it's not really mentioned here), so it was rather expensive to swap out for the pole I actually wanted (due to shipping).
In good news, X-pole makes good poles. The design is sturdy, does not take a large amount of space, and is fairly easy to put together. You might need a little help lifting it up in the end, just to be safe, but otherwise, any lady could assemble this easily. It took me about half an hour.
In bad news, this surface is Extremely Slippery. Even with "Mighty Grip" or "Dry Hands", you tend to slide off after a short amount of climbing/doing tricks.
Stationary vs Spinning:
If you are an awesome gymnast, capable of untold feats on the pole, or if you don't mind looking completely stupid, stationary is fine. What do I mean? Well, with a spinning pole, even simple things most people can do look pretty neat, just because you are spinning at the same time. It's a pleasant distraction that tricks your audience (even if the audience is just you or some girlfriends) into thinking "wow, that looks neat". On the other hand, when the pole does not spin, everything looks a little less glamorous and interesting, so unless you can bust out some crazy moves and have the flexibility of saltwater taffy, you just won't look good. Trust me. We had a party, and none of my friends felt great about how things went, and half of us are either dancers or gymnasts. Moral of the story: if you are going to spend money on a good pole, like an X-Pole, go ahead and get a spinning one; otherwise, just get one of those crappy cheap ones.
I recommend the Xpert 50 mm Titanium Gold. It spins and has a slightly less slippery surface, and the thicker pole (as opposed to 45mm) makes it easier to grip with your legs, so you can do more climbs and hang on with your body. It's $100 more, but well worth it,
More good news: Microfiber Products Online has EXCELLENT customer service. Great communication, solid sales team! Buy with confidence!

Mighty Grip Pole Dance gloves with out Tack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered 1 of each type of glove because I didn't know what would work best. The "tacky" one is not good for me (the palm is basically "pleather/vinyl" type skin), so I used the non-tack glove. The first thing that bugged me was that there was a seam that went across the palm. Why on earth there is a seam on the palm of a glove where the palm is extensively used, I have no idea. However, it didn't bug me too much and I got used to it.
I have used the non-tack gloves TWICE and they are already falling apart. The seam on the palm is coming undone and the seam around the thumb and on the wrist is undone as well. Like I said, I have used them TWICE and I won't be able to use them again. I am very disappointed in the quality of the glove.
I don't feel that I can return the gloves because I've already used them although I will be returning the tack one. I thought everyone should know what an inferior product this is and to save your money.

Peekaboo Hot Pink Party Stripper Pole Dance Kit - / Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are serious about pole dancing, or don't want to get hurt, do not buy this. It is horribly made. Since it is in three pieces (a real pole is one) it is flimsy and unsupportive and tends to give in the middle. Especially NOT recommended for tricks and inverts. Spend the extra money for a decent pole.

Peekaboo Party Home Pole Dancing Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought the Peekaboo pole dancing kit at Spencer's for $80, and I've enjoyed using it, both as a source of exercise and entertainment for my significant other.
People expecting this to be on par with the much more expensive pole sets that actually install into your ceiling will be disappointed - but for only $80-100 (the cheapest pole prices on the market that I've seen), what do you expect? If you wanted something sturdier for more advanced pole tricks, a beginner's kit shouldn't have been your first stop.
In short, this is a great pole for beginning dancers, or people who live in an apartment/other non-permanent housing and don't have the ability to actually install a pole. This pole does not allow you to swing around it or hang on it, but you can still use it quite effectively for basic dance routines.

Lil Mynx Dance Pole Pro Pole Polished Stainless Steel Free Bottle of Mighty Grip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The pole was terribly easy to install...it would have been easier if I had a drill, but as it was I got it up and using it within minutes. The hardest part was finding a stud in the ceiling but I believe that was more operator error. Now that I installed the more permanent fixture I can take it down and store it in...maybe two minutes. So if I have company over, or my parents, I need not worry. It is great, sturdy, and you feel safe. Also the permanent attachment on the ceiling comes with a decorative hook so that you don't have to explain away the little clip. It is such a great pole. I am using it for exercise and dancing, but I definitely feel as though this pole could easily handle aeriels. Also, it does come with a friction based set up, so you don't have to drill into the ceiling.
