    I prefer "floor work" on stage as opposed to most pole tricks. I danced for 4 years and was developing calcium deposits on the knee caps (felt like hard pieces of bone or cartilage loose under skin). I retired from dancing for 4 years after getting a job out of college. It took almost a year for the damage to start reversing.

    I started dancing again 6 months ago and immediately started having problems with my knees again. There are a couple things that may be keeping me from getting as bad as I was before:
    1. I try to be more careful of the weight and pressure I put on my knees when I'm doing floor routines
    2. I take glucosamine pills (suppliment that is supposed to lubricate and repair joints) with a daily vitamin
    3. Sometime I use it as a tactic to get VIP's and off the dancing list: Please save me from myself and take me upstairs so I can use my energy on you and not the pole/stage.

    I had major problems with my knees for nearly a year, they got so bad I thought I was going to have to throw it in. After consulting my doctor I have found the glucosamine tablets with the chondroitin are excellent, the doctor advised that the high heels were the culprit and told me that when not at work I wear low shoes with the orthotic insoles that provide good arch support. As an added precaution I dumped the floorwork and i wear the low heeled Malibou shoes while it is quiet and switch to the killer heels when it gets busier. I don't have knee problems anymore so it definitely did the trick.
