    Default Stone Stages

    Does anyone else work at a club with stone stages (i.e., granite, quartz, like a kitchen counter)? I'm pretty sure all Deja Vu clubs have them, and maybe Spearmint Rhino as well?

    I recently had to quit after nearly three years at a place because of the horrific damage that built up on my knees. I crushed the front of my tibia flat and now I have shooting pain any time I put weight on them. I've got a permanent dent on one side as well.

    Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Please don't reply with "Why don't you just wear socks?" Pole tricks are my bread and butter and I sweat a lot, it's never been an option.

    Yes, I don't do floor work unless I'm getting rained on.

    I did work at a club with a stone stage. I was only there once a week max but the frequency of stages + the stone was too harsh. I pulled my regulars to a new club. It wasn't worth what felt to me like long-term damage - my knees felt swollen in the cartilage and the balls of my feet hurt like crazy.

    The only thing that helped is toning down the show to literally molasses pace without much floor work, and extra shoe gel inserts.

    Lol my home club had badly done marble square tiles on stage. (The owner did a lot of DIY in the club to save money.) No wonder my knees are so messed up.

    Unfortunately other materials are just as problematic...either too slippery or too porous (which allows bacteria to breed.)
