The slippery pole

I bet everyone familiar with pole dancing has at some point in their lives encountered some troubles with friction. Today it seemed to be something all of us in the class were struggling with even though the poles were clean and warm.

It's fun hanging upside down when your thighs just slide along the pole and your grip feels like it could loosen at any moment. So fun actually that pretty much everyone, me included, decided not to let go of the pole while doing inverts and that pretty much made the whole practice obsolete. Standing and sitting on the pole was quite hard too, most were just sliding down as soon as they got up.

Now then, what might be the reason for all of this? I'd wager it's the weather, some -15 degrees Celsius and very low humidity that we're currently enjoying here in Helsinki. Oh well, atleast I got to do some spins and practice the moves.

I've also started wondering if I'm invisible or something because this evening was the second time someone walks on me in the mens locker room. Granted, I'm a rarity at the studio but still, how hard is it to remember that there was a tall guy in the class with you? :D
