For quite a few months I slacked off from the gym for two reasons, a hamstring injury and my body adjusting to teaching more classes.
I started taking circus class and will resume that again once it is warm (i have to take two buses there 1.5hr each way ick)
Cardio training
Just got back into running 20min once a week. My hamstring is still recovering from an injury so usually elliptical 2x a week 20mins. Sometimes i just use my weighted jump rope till my heart wants to explode. Cardio is GOOD for pole it gives you major endurance to dance!Weight Training
Doing soooooo much upper body work with the pole I feel unbalanced if I go for a long time without working my legs. Things i do! walking lunges & squats; weighted step ups, kick backs, extensions, calf raises, etc ( so glad to be able to moderately train my legs again) Anything that requires weights!
I agree with the other ladies learning pull ups and chin ups are excellent. (working on getting a muscle up and one handed pull up)
For core i either do pole sit ups or in the gym I raise the smith bar hang by my knees and do sit ups there. -
Thank you so much for the reply! I am going to try to make it up for open pole session and the beg/intermediate class on that saturday. Unfortunately, on this trip there is only one car between my boyfriend and I so as much as I would like to jam probably will just pop in the studio for a little. He has agreed that a weekend with his family is more than worth an hour ride and some pole time!
We will be there on family business so as much as I would love to dance on bars with you he will be taking care of family matter most of the night.

It is really hard to ask your instructors to NOT work somewhere else unless they are getting benefits or at least enough hours to make a substantial amount of money. Personal trainers often work at several gyms in order to make a living, teachers in other forms of dance also often work at several studios, this isn’t very different.
She is probably a little nervous because of recession and competition, but many of the new studios popping up are just people trying to make a quick buck. There is a studio that just opened in philly like that and guess what? They are failing because they don’t really know what they are doing.
The owner has right to be concerned about her working somewhere else, but a simple discussion could put any of her fears aside.
Although not a studio owner, I had to sign a contract that said although allowed to work other places I will not discuss the business of the dance studio, will not use any of their forms, and will not cross promote myself. Also my contract is a non-competition contract that says if I am fired or leave that I cannot start my own pole business within 100miles for a year. All of these things are fair considering, pole dancing is a niche market.

Kobajo I love the difference from the new tricks to how well you have learned to transition your moves

I do workshops for pole routines at the studio and having never done any formal dance training it is a challenge.
The way sissybuns told is great way to do a routine if it seems too complicated to work out the counts of a song. Figure out which moves you like best for you and make it a point to put them in a particular order while dancing. This is fun and allows some spontaneity.
If you decide you want to break the song down into counts (usually 8’s), you need to sit and listen the the song thoroughly. At this point I will dance to the song once or twice to get in the mood. I start with the first minute and figure out how many 8 counts there are. Then figure out what I am going to do count by count and i write it down so i can remember it and easily change with out getting it messed up and confused.
Writing what goes on each 8 count lets you focus on one task at a time. It also allows you to move on without feel like you have to memorize it all at once. As you are figuring what goes into each 8 count also make sure each for trick that you give yourself enough time to get in and out of the move.
Practice Practice practice. You don’t always have to start from the beginning thats why you have the 8 counts written down. The more you practice it the more natural it will look and feel -

Not all places do dance routines… in fact the place i work we rarely do dance routines and if we do they are workshops or part of seductive.
Fine a place that works on tricks and that might show you dance moves but doesnt expect everyone to do them.
The thing about classes that don’t do routines though is there is A LOT more independent time because the instructor needs to show many moves some of which you may know already and some you may not.
ALL of the studios around me don’t even do sessions they are all walk in or call to register that day. Sometimes it can be hectic not knowing exactly who will show up but you should sill pick up some new things and also be instructed on ways not to hurt yourself as well as spotted -
