  • Does a spinny pole help with more fluidity?

    Posted by chipandchar on February 24, 2013 at 7:55 am

    I learned on a static pole, for more control and training. But I find it hard to always keep my dancing fluid. It seems like it would be easier to get “lost” in the music on a spinning pole because it’s in constant motion. I’ve had some decent routines with a static pole, but I’m looking to make my routines more dance-performance oriented without breaks. If that makes sense….

    I think spinning pole gives the illusion of fluidity and what I love about spinning pole is that you (can) hold poses longer – giving you more time to prepare for the next transtition.  So in that sense I think working with spinning pole can be helpful on static we tend to rush and we are fighting gravity where as on spin the force keeps you on the pole helping you fight that sliding.

    I think the best training is to work both modes when you are ready (I tend to always feel like spinning is more advanced and takes more muscle control.)  To increase fluidity I suggest doing lots of dancing without tricks – then I  like to take sequences or tricks I love and work on in's and outs that make them more fluid (genreally on static.)
