  • Favorite Slinky Slithery Moves Needed

    Hi Pole Friends! I don’t often post on here, I’ve been more of a voyeur to this point, but I am in need of some inspiration and input. I’ve been commissioned by a quirky art house to do a dance for their themed gallery opening. The theme is Godzilla.

    Still with me? LOL – this is not a joke, the whole gallery and all performances will be Godzilla themed. I’m very excited! I’ve been debating how to approach the theme and I think keeping the reptile that Godzilla is in mind will help inspire the dance moves. As an intermediate dancer, I could use some ideas on moves that are slinky, slithery, sexy etc. What is your favorite move in that genre? Pole or floorwork – I plan to rely on both! I will likely only be using static as I’m not that confident yet in spin.

    So what moves remind you of a reptile? Or a giant monster attacking a city?

    Also, if you happen to have ideas on how to crush a model of a city without hurting your feet, I’ll take those too haha. 

    Well there’s iguana mount but that’s a bit of a pole in-joke…

    I think swan into tuck and drop looks very dramatic.

    Caterpillar climb is quite reptile.
    And anything where you wrap round the pole: corkscrew spin, maidenhead with drama arms, inverted crucifix into bat and caterpillar up…

    Floor work: sexy crawl, wavy legs, body ripple lying on back…

    Split roll with scorpion kick…

    It sounds very awesome. You must post a video!

    Body waves, on pole, on stomach, on floor, on knees — they’re about as slithery/slinky as I can imagine. 🙂

    Oh these are all excellent suggestions!

    TropicalPole – I had thought about the Caterpillar too! I have to check here for some of the others you mentioned as well!

    Polergirl – oh yes. There are always body waves in my routines. It’s my “WTF do I do now?” go to move! 🙂

    pr1nc3ss – Excellent floorwork suggestions! And crawling is sooo sexy! 🙂

    Thanks so much, I can’t wait to get home today and work on some of these suggestions!
