How to put together a routine
Hey everyone, Although I am just a beginner, I was wondering how you guys put together the moves for a routine, even just a mini routine. My anniversary is coming up May 9th, and I know it is very short notice, but I would love to be able to show my hubby a routine, even a small one. He is very supportive of me learning pole dance, and I thought it would be a good anniversary gift. Anyway, thanks for any suggestions. Oh, yeah, last night I actually was able to do the basic plank. I thought I would never get it and then it just happened. I realized that pushing my hips up was the trick to getting it for me, so haaaappppy:)

In the beginner section of the lessons, Veena has put together a beginner routine. Not sure if you have the lessons? Congrats on your upcoming anniversary!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Maybe try to break it down by area and make a list of the moves you'd like to do in that space. Like maybe you really want to incorporate this move on the floor, these spins/tricks on the pole, and maybe some sexy hip twirling on the wall. Maybe even some chair or lapdance.
Then, maybe put them in the order you'd like to do the routine in. You can start at the wall, slink down to the floor, crawl to the pole and stay there, with the exeption of some floor moves thrown in when you come down that far (if you do). Or, you could start at the pole, take a spin to the floor, do some floorwork, get up, more pole, walk sexy to the wall, or even to your hubby in a chair, then back to the pole, etc.
I like to plan each area individually with maybe a mental list of things I want to accomplish. With that list in mind, it's pretty simple to see what flows together and what doesn't and what fillers to add to make it look okay.
Another thing you should do is just put some music on with no one watching and just dance. It doesn't matter if you bobble, because it's just you! Experiment. Find things you love and a flow that works.
Keep in mind that men don't appreciate tricks as much as women. While they know that it is hard and took some effort, they are more drawn toward the visual stimulation of it all. They like to see hip rolls and spread legs, etc. Let your hands wander and draw attention to what you want. Trust me, his eyes will follow them.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN! A routine is not as important as enjoying yourself. It may seem stressful and make you nervous, but he will love it no matter what you do. He will feel honored that you took the time to dance just for him. If you forget what you planned, it really doesn't matter in the end.
I didn't mean for this to come out this long. Whew. I hope I said at least something that helped. Good luck!

Hey Bitchy Witchess, Thanks, yes I am a member, joined just recently, but I did not see the routine. I'll have to look, thanks. Yeah, it will be 20 years this May. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey HyperHorsegirl, Thanks for the input. And, you're probably right about him enjoying anything, he's a guy, right:) I have a few moves I feel comfortable with, I think I'll just practice making them look nice and not worry too much. I am a bit nervous since I have never done anything like this for him, but he is always so complimentary of me anyway, I know that he would love it, so I guess I better get to practicing. You were very helpful.

I danced for my man for the first time on Valentine's day. I was super nervous weeks beforehand and I wanted to have a well-rehearsed spectacular routine. Well, life and other stuff got in the way of planning. I did research and watched videos and thought of some things to do, but I never really got the chance to practice anything. So, when the day came, I pretty much had to wing it. He LOVED it, but I still wish I had at least gotten the chance to put something together. It's nice to go in, realizing that what you do doesn't really matter, but to also have a plan to fall back on if you get nervous. Part of me wishes I had done "better" than I did, but he still thinks it was the greatest thing in the world. And that's what really matters.

I put these videos together for a friend of mine that wanted to surprise her hubby at Christmastime. She didn’t have a pole yet so there aren’t any tricks in them, but they might give you some ideas. Have fun!

Definitely, he'll be happy with any dance you do! But if you want to learn more about putting together pole routines, here's a free e-class that goes over the basics. (Scroll a bit to see it.) http://poleskivvies.com/free-e-classes/

Just remember to move slowly. Pick a song you love and make eye contact. A slinky crawl is priceless too.
