I agree. I think contemporary and pole go so beautifully together. Check out NYPolerina on youtube (Tracee Kafer, she's on SV too) if you want some examples. I get goosebumps watching her,
Honestly, though, I think being a well-rounded dancer would be MOST beneficial to pole. All styles have something to offer. I'd love to take a bunch of different dance classes, if I could.

so thats how those work. nice!

I feel you Pankake! I get impatient with warming up my body and pole in this crappy climate!

If you can sew, I suggest just heading over to the fabric department of your local craft store. They have trims that already include elastic and make great garters. You could buy yards at a time for super cheap, then just cut and stitch.

Took me 8 weeks! Great job, it's a big milestone!

i'm still working on figuring it out, but I definitely like to add in a little sass (hence the user name!). Subtle hair flips, sexy spins, a little added extra that might make you smile. When I freestyle at home, its more slow and gooey. Not slithery or sexy, not floaty… what's the right word? Trancey, maybe.

Thank you for the links!

I mean, even a well-executed fireman spin can stop friends in their tracks! especially if you invite them to try afterwards and they see that it's difficult.

I would do the butterfly (in my display picture) or the reverse grab spin, I think. Those are the two moves I'm capable of that have the most wow factor, I think. And I generally don't mess them up like I do my other moves, haha.

I usually just bust out one go-to trick. I am NOT going to do a whole dance performance for them just because they feel they have a right. Doing one trick impresses them, stops them from asking for more, and honestly makes me feel kinda like a badass 😛 Showing off can be fun sometimes! Just be sure you're safe and these people don't get ideas about what they can do with you just because you have a pole.

What I found helpful at first was to hold my crossed foot and to really pull it towards the pole. This made my thigh grip more secure so I wasn't worried about falling even when the pain was awful!! Once you push through the pain a few times and know what to expect, try letting go of your foot and just using your thighs to hang on. You should be able to do it!

my under-butt! it's so squishy! hahaha

Well that does pose a problem. Do any of your friends or family have an old couch in their basement or something that they'd be willing to lend? that would be a super cheap alternative. Keep your eye out at yard sales or thrift shops, too! You don't need to like the couch, just the cushions 🙂

I just use my couch cushions. They fit together into 4×4 square around my pole, it's perfect.
