Reddit reviews iTAC2 Pole Dance Grip Extra Strength 45 Grams

itac for superior grip!! I get sweaty palms too esp when I'm nervous or scared of trying new tricks (I hate going upside down ironically lol). You will find that adrenaline is one hell of a drug, and muscle memory will likely kick in so you can get through it! Even if you "mess up", anyone in the audience who is not in the pole world may not even be able to tell! I get soooo incredibly nervous even after performing several showcases, an event in this club in front of like 1000+ people, and even competing but I still love it so much! It's an incredible feeling, even if I slip up! There's so much support from all the other studio members and instructors, and the audience is just blown away even by the simplest things. I love showcases :).

The day of your showcase, do not overwork your body by training too hard but instead try to stretch. Practice breathing - slowly in through the nose, out through pursed lips. Shake your hands/arms to work out some of that nervous energy. Don't forget to eat some, even if your nervous. Your body will need fuel. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Maybe even take a swig of some champagne or a shot of vodka before, but only if it won't make things worse lol. Don't forget to breaaaaaaaaathe during your routine, and take note of timing while you're on stage. It's pretty common (for me and several others at least) to go much faster during the actual performance than you have trained time and time again. Hand your phone to someone who can record you in the audience (tip - turn your phone on airplane mode for this).

Congrats on your first showcase and please check back in to report how it went!

For sweaty palms/other body parts, try: Dry Hands, Girlie Grip, PD9, liquid chalk.

For dry skin, try: iTac (might ruin brass poles if not cleaned properly), Dew Point Pole, shaving foam (don't leave it on your palm though. Either apply with the backs of your hands or wash your hands after application).
