Get some good rest...we don't want to worry about you on the road! Charley and I are going to be working on completing her certification during the day so you won't be missing anything any fun.
working on certs is fun 😉
🥂 CERTS! I am getting really excited! I started shopping for the trip last weekend. This is the first time I am travelling alone!!!! 😮
I'm the traveling fool this year. Looking forward to my man coming with me on some of them. But he won't be able to come to Pole Jam because of me staying extra. But it just makes sense to combine trips pole jam with working on my certs. I'm sure by the end of pole jam we will be saying congrats to charley on finishing her intermediate cert 🥂
EEEK! let's hope so, I haven't touched Jim's exciting section yet, lol! 😂 😂 😂
EEEK! let's hope so, I haven't touched Jim's exciting section yet, lol! 😂 😂 😂 I might be wrong, but I think other then your hour of talking with Jim you have finished Jim's part, I believe (and I could be totally wrong) that he only has questions on the Basic test which you have already completed (and so did I yay!). His talk though is informative I did it on my last trip there.
Incredibly Charley passed that part of the exam without ever having had the time to have her talk with Jim! So even though she passed that and answered it all correctly she is still going to meet with him that day and go over all the content.
I am looking forward to it. Is there more of Jim's stuff in the intermediate? Off topic* But I amk impressed with this particular cert because it also includes HOW to start and HOW to get everything you need legally. It teach you HOW to run a business. I have the marketing part down but all the important things I need help on. I can't wait to meet so many new people! and ofcourse to see new friends again. This has been a cool summer for pole!
yep that is part of what impresses me about the program too. Are you going to get to spend some time at her classes Charley? She has some great students. I'm looking forward to seeing her advanced girls again on Monday, they are a hoot! And much more skilled then I at this point. I too can't wait to meet some of the girls I felt like I have known forever and have never met lol and of course to seeing you and empy again. I get depressed when I come back home after these things, I live and breathe pole for a few days then come home and its me alone with my pole with little time to play on it. I need a pole buddy. 😢
EEEK! let's hope so, I haven't touched Jim's exciting section yet, lol! 😂 😂 😂 Am I the only one here that took this in the entirely wrong way?? 😮 😮 😮
Chemmie...I'm disappointed at the rest of us for missing that one!!!! 😂
Girls I'm so happy to hear that the progra is working out for you! Charley only the beginner level has time with Jim included but...anyone who is certified can contact Jim at any time with questions or for advice. I am SO freaking excited about this jam.! I got to meet Joel today and it was great - but even better I get to see him again next week. I'm just so happy with how all of this is turning out. Its going to be great.
As of right now we have 12 performances in the showcase!!! There are a few surprises planned and an announcement to be made! 😎 !! Those of you who are joining us...PLEASE wear your studio T-shirt or if you like you can order one and customize it with your name and studio or home town here: http://www.zazzle.com/great_midwest_pole_jam_edit_with_your_name_school_tshirt-235554455795070997
only a few days yet to go until the Jam and showcase. I just would like to take a minute to Thank Empy for all her hard work on this event! yay empy! 🥂 🫡 🥂 🤸 🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂 🥂 👍
Your welcome Maria! It's been nerve wracking but a lot has been fun and I'm so looking forward to this! We've also confirmed dinner and we'll be able to do the buffet instead of tabs for dinner! The restaurant owner gave us a better price and came down on the minimum guarantee...I guess calling to RSVP for 40 people and since it was last minute and he didn't have anything else booked anyway it was worth it!!! So..dinner is $18 per person including all you can eat, soft drinks and tax and tip!!! Plus they make some of the best frozen margaritas around!!! We need everyone to pay in advance so you can either call or pay via Paypal: http://empowermentthroughexoticdance.com/GMWPJDinner.htm Then there's the showcase...the songs people chose are so unique or so fun I can't wait!! We also have a couple of door prizes and gift bags we are giving out!!! Lots of sponsors too! It's going to be a blast.
lol yeah I picked one of my crazy up and down songs. 🙄 I was listening to it on the way home from work and was thinking did this song get longer since I decided to use it for the showcase? 😮 yeah well it is what it is!
I am so freaking excited about this!
Me too! Things are getting even better as it gets closer...so much to do though. And all of this and I'm studying for my insurance license! (where's a head smack smiley?) I'm also really excited about my song! I wish I had more time to practice...today is the first time I even got to dance to it!!! My lovely husband just gave me the day off so I only have to run business charges from home for classes then I can practice a bit. But it won't be nearly enough - and I don't care except that I want to do this song justice!!! Probably won't be as exciting to anyone else but it's SO me! Anyway...lots of fun in store for the weekend. Mine starts THursday when Charley arrives!!! 🤸 🤸 🤸 OH and my boys better really show me some love...first they had Amber as a guest last week now 4 more hot ladies staying the weekend this week! How cool of a mom am I?!!!
thought you still had amber handcuffed to the pole??? 😀
Aww...I had to release her! I didn't want Awakenings to miss out the opportunity. Gotta share the love!
bummer, but I guess it is for the best. I'm not getting in any practice time other then in my head. Hard to practice on my minx anyway.
Empy - thank you so much for all of your hard work in putting together this amazing event! I am really excited! 🥂
WOW!!! It's impossible to describe just what a great time this was! Thank you so much to everyone for coming out and MAKING this event as great as it turned out. I am blown away by the incredible people I met and wonderful talent we all saw yesterday! Pictures are showing up all over Facebook already and I can't wait to see the videos! Jim got a bunch of vids, I got some pics, so I'm hoping to get them all up soon!
Thank you so much Mary Ellyn for an amazing weekend! All of your hard work paid off, This was a very well organized and run event. Thank you for bringing this many polers together in one room! I had so much fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I copy everything Charley said....you did an incredible job and it was so much fun! Your an amazing woman and I soooo can't wait for the next one 😀 😀 😀
