I'd say sexy and strong would describe my style. I do lots of booty work and body rolls but I also like to do holds that require a lot of strength that show off my muscles. I rarely do spins or walks around the pole really. Those are my weaknesses and I'd like to improve.

For me, a lot of it is where you put your hand on your thigh. This move did hurt for a bit at first but now it doesn't bother me. I find to get a good, tight grip I have the pole right in my armpit and I tend to grab my thigh close to my crotch. It gives a nice tight grip without pulling the skin too much. I know others like to grab out further, like towards the knee. Maybe try to adjust that and see how it feels for you?

I'm jealous! I wish I had someone at work to double with. But I'm the only day shift girl who can use the pole. There is one other girl but she kind of flails around and gets drunk. I watch in horror, thinking at some point she's going to crack her noggin. I don't want any part of that, lol.
Hmm…songs…let's see…
1.) No idea. I'm not sure how much guys are going to dig Roxanne though. Just my opinion. You could go with Jace Everett "Bad Things". I freaking hate country but I actually like that song and there is a dance/rock remix that the dj at my club plays.
2.) I'd say Rihanna's "Skin" or Portishead "Glorybox"
3.) I'd say Neon Hitch "Fuck You Betta" Dudes love that song, just saying. It's not artsy, but it's fast paced and it gets their brains moving.

My roommate usually hides when I pole. My cat on the other hand…..usually either lies against the wall for a show or sits and glares at me, wondering why I’m not paying enough attention to her.

Where in Michigan might you be hoping to dance? I’ll PM you some info.

I have a SS lil mynx rotator and I hate it. I'm ordering an X-pole. The SS is so slippery, even when warm and I've used it daily for months. So I think it should be sufficiently "broken in". Lil Mynx told me I'd need to purchase a pole a few inches longer than my actual ceiling height. I have exactly nine foot ceilings and their poles come in 8-9 ft and 9-10 ft. I bought the 9-10 ft. So I put it up and the pole moves around some, even though there is no way I can extend the pole further. It's probably because my studs are metal and not wood. This has eaten the ceiling down to the wood (or whatever ceilings are made out of) in a circular pattern around the pole. Not only that but because the pole is so tight to my ceilng, the spin mechanism gets jammed routinely. So basically the pole isn't tight enough to not move and it is tight enough to jam the spin mechanism. All around fail.

I really liked her routine. It wasn't overly difficult in terms of holds, minus the knee hold (which was absolutely lovely). But everything she did was executed perfectly so it didn't matter at all. It was really, really good. Sometimes I think I can get discouraged because I watch videos of those who do crazy holds I can only dream of. But this routine reminds me that you don't have to know a batwing or have a perfectly flat jade split to have a wonderful routine.

Crap! Sorry I misread your initial post. You could lead in with a cradle into a butterfly into a flatline scorpio. As some said, you could do a wrist sit or something I really like to do, is a split grip and then extend one leg and have the other bent at the knee. Idk what it's called but you can hold the pose for as long or a short as you like and then slowly descend towards the floor.

I like extended butterfly to split grip straight edge to ayesha to (grab the pole) to superman.

This is a dream move for me. It looks so impressive. I've never attempted it because I know I'm nowhere near ready. But maybe one day! 🙂
Emotioncatcher, you are so awesome. I love your youtube videos!!

I'm a stripper! There, I said it. 😛
My profession is: A registered nurse/exotic dancer
My level of education: I have a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and I am currently enrolled in a Masters of Science in Nursing program at a public university. I have one year left before I graduate.
Why have I chosen to become a stripper: Money. I'm dancing to pay for my master's degree. I make a decent living as a nurse but because I am single and have no dependents, I pay about 25% of my salary in tax plus social security, health insurance, etc. The more I work as a nurse, the less money I take home. The government gets it all. With dancing, it's all cash and we don't fill out W-2 forms. Probably for someone who stripped fulltime, they wouldn't be able to hide that money from the IRS but because I have another job that I pay tax on, it's very unlikely I'll be audited.
Besides the money, I think it's fun. Sure, parts of it suck. Co-workers can be crazy, guys can be asses. But I like getting up on stage and dancing. I like talking to people. It's a low stress job, in my opinion. Others may not feel that way but it's kind of what you make it.

Personally, I think split grip is harder than elbow grip. I'll still can't do straight up split grip ayesha, only from an extended butterfly. I think the elbow grip is more secure and balancing is a bit easier. I've been working on handsprings and I've been working on the split grip because I feel like twisted grip puts a lot of strain on my shoulder.

I own both Pleasers and Ellies. I find the sizing to be pretty comparable. I'd say the Ellies tend to favor wide feet a bit better. I wear a 9 in both types of shoes. I tried Ellies in an 8 because the 9s are a bit loose, but it was just too tight. So if you have really narrow feet, you might want to go down a size in the Ellies.

I'll put in my two cents 🙂 I think exotic dancing and poledancing are always going to be somewhat intertwined. Because at some point, all exotic dancers are pole dancers. They may not be able to do lots of tricks and but they utilize the pole. It is annoying when people stereotype pole dancing. My "work" poling at the strip club is waaaaaay different than my pole dancing sessions or classes. But I don't think we should try to alienate those who do both forms of pole dancing as there are many of us who do.
In terms of nudity and thongs, those of us that work in that environment tend to get immune to it. I almost left my house one day without a shirt on! lol. I mean, everyone has nipples. Men, women, children. Are they really that offensive? Americans are a bit uptight about nudity, in my opinion. Other countries, people run around mostly naked on beaches and all of that. I think we should all try to respect each other. But I don't think that this site is any less informative or any less of a haven for polers just because of some nipples and thong photos.

abcollins1- You're getting theoretical here. Most people in the general public don't consider fruits and vegetables to be carbs. Obviously, I'd be anorexic if all I ate was meat and my kidneys would probably be crap too. So I wasn't trying to be misleading in my initial comment.
But you're misleading saying that you can get a six pack by diet alone. That is absolutely false. There is no way unless you starve yourself. You need exercise to build up the rest of the muscle in your body to increase the metabolism. Not to mention, it's just healthy. As Dirty Girl POLEtice mentions, you can be really thin but are really not healthy. Diet alone won't cut it.
