    I think some people have it or they dont…BUT….it is possible to fake it. So I don't believe everyone naturally has it but i believe everyone can have it, I am in the process of putting together a little seminar about stage presence/personality where I teach my personal tricks and boy do I have a lot.

     

    However I will say (and this is going to sound awful) I have seen some performances where the poler doesn't even look happy at all and remains completely expressionless where it's almost weird. I have a hard time getting into those girls because I don't want to watch someone who looks like they don't want to be up there. I know this is probably not the case and the person is just really nervous – but being totally expressionless isn't very convincing that you're doing something you enjoy. I know nerves can get the best of people though and that is something I am going to cover in my seminar too. I got lucky because I never remember being shy in my life – I am loud, talkative and outgoing in my real life so it's easy for me translate that to pole I guess!

    I haven't read the others responses so someone may have said this already. I told my now boyfriend on our first date that I pole, exactly what it's about (I remember being militant about how I was NOT AN EXOTIC DANCER AND NEVER DO IT NAKED haha I'm sure he thought I was nuts!) But I would never want to date anyone who wasn't okay with it. It is a big part of who I am and if you don't like it then don't date me. Same with my tattoos, if you don't like them don't look at them! I realize it's not for everyone but I personally couldn't date someone who couldn't accept it especially when there are so many men out there who do accept it. This weekend I went to a tattoo convention and my friend's husband got a pole dancing pin up inked on his forearm, talk about supportive!

    April 12, 2012 at 1:39 pm in reply to: Next Day Tiredness

    I have the same problem! I used to teach two pole classes back to back thursday evenings and then sometimes go out to the bar after and friday mornings at work I was always exhausted. I felt exhausted yesterday at work as well since it was day 6 of work in a row and I had worked two nine hour days (630am – 330 pm) monday and tuesday. Mini I have to be at work at 6:15 most days so i feel your pain!!! I always feel bad because i get so exhausted and I pound 5 hour shots and the pink rock stars like it's my job on my long days. I feel super tired today too even though it's my day off but I got my period yesterday and I am getting over a sinus infection and bronchitis so I'm wondering it it's related to that. I hope it goes away because it's annoying!

    April 11, 2012 at 3:38 pm in reply to: Advice to a new performer/competitor…

    I competed last year in a regional competition and took third so I have some advice but I've only done it once so far…

     

    I have big boobs too and i don't even use double sided tape I take clear duct tape, roll it together and use that on my ENTIRE top of my bra. I know it sounds like a bad idea but by the time my 5 mins are up I have sweated enough to loosen the tape. It's never been very painful for me to take off but try at your own risk I'm sure double sided works fine too. I just use duct tape because it's thicker so it covers more area. My boobs literally are waiting for their first chance to pop out and all it takes is a simple inversion. I also wear pasties ALWAYS. I don't ever intend on showing them but if my boob does pop out, I will know my goodies are covered.

     

    If you are competing I actually would say choreograph every second of the routine unless you want to freestyle but don't expect to get a good score in terms of polish if you don't have it all planned out by the second. You should know the routine inside and out and do it with and without music. Your music could go out like Phoenize Kazree's and she did the whole routine anyway and then won the damn thing!!!!

     

    Also pack more than you think you will need. It sucks to carry it but you will be super happy you brought everything if you or someone else needs it.

     

    Allllsoooo….I know it's a competition and everyone wants to win otherwise they wouildn't be there but it's important to me to remain friendly to your competitors. They are the only ones that know exactly how you are feeling and just because someone else wins doesn't mean yours sucked it just means it might not have been what that particular competition was looking for. Hope this helps a bit!

    Joalex that is silly!! I hope they realize what a crowd that would draw, I've mentioned it to all our band friends and every single one of them was like YES!!!! The only person who wasn't so crazy about it was my boyfriend!!! We have the opposite problem 🙂

    I'm a pin-up rocker girl with the tattoos to match haha my poor mother. My boyfriend is about 90% tattooed minus his face and his hero is Nikki Sixx, we get the best looks when we're out together!!! I usually do burlesque inspired performances but when I pole at home it's always to rock music. My boyfriend is a hair stylist and he has about 15 clients in bands, as soon as I get my x-stage it's on!!! I have done a video to a song by my friend's female fronted metal band and that's their youtube video with the most hits https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Michelle Mynx teaches the one handed version and I think they call it the Marlo there but I could be wrong. One of her students did it during the detroit showcase I was so impressed and it's on my to do list!
