Chem I’m glad you posted a vid of Shadow. When I think “SPIN POLE MADNESS” I automatically think of her.
I would love to see the first dancer clean up her lines a little. She’s strong and definitely hurl-proof lol!

And here’s mine to EG. 🙂

Falling out of a move is NO fun. If she doesn’t want to go down except for cross-knee, then she pretty much has to go up, yes? If she’s close enough to the floor she can sit back up and cast off into a fun slide (chest at pole, slide on tops of feet).
She can sit up into hello boys and bring one leg up to cross over the pole at the back of the ankle, catch with the same hand, then swing the other one around to the back of the pole to an inverted position. Kyra showed this move at a B+P streaming class recently. I *dug* it soooo much. 🙂

Wait, I take that back. I did have a vid–it is an early early attempt but it’s easy to see what I’m doing. 🙂 I’ll post it now.

I will record tomorrow. 🙂

You can take plank down into a full layback, then to EG/SG/TG aysha — doesn’t take a LOT of flexibility or I wouldn’t be able to do it lol. Basically you twist your body like you’re going into a brass monkey from a layback, except you keep your legs straight and hold the pole at your ankles. Hands in position, twist your body, and off you go!
It’s my favorite way to get into an aysha because it’s unexpected and looks sort of like magic. 😉

My very favorite dances are almost always trick-free or very slim on tricks. Give me some good DANCING, tricks or no tricks, any day.
PS – I’m almost 43, not long and lean, terribly short arms with long torso, not flexy, and I still manage to be pretty good up ther….. AND more importantly I have a great time on the pole/dance floor. 😉

polergirl, same as here. 🙂
I’m a latecomer to Instagram but I like it!

I have absolutely no interest in learning to do the Janeiro, mostly because I have yet to see someone get out of it gracefully. Usually it’s the last move before the lights go out.
If I can’t dance onto it or out of it, I don’t want to do it.
I’m also generally not interested in moves that are difficult or impossible to do in shoes. I love me some platform shoes and don’t want my tricks to interfere with my shoe love lol.

Eye contact. Not to be crass, but if you’re dancing for someone, eye bang them lol.
Know what moves and at what angles show off your best parts to their best advantage.
Dancers tend to do lots of pirouettes in all sorts of variations, hip figure 8s, sliding down the pole with it against your back…..fir practical purposes. Those kinds of moves allow them to show off various parts and also to make the super important eye contact, plus they won’t leave you worn out at the end of a set, much less at the end of a shift. If you want to watch dancers with AMAZING flow you can usually find several at strip clubs. Those ladies can MOOOOOOOVE. The name of the game is to exemplify your dancer persona, whatever that may be, and give your audience an idea of your personality and, let’s be honest, the way in which you do the dirty.
Cheekily/sexily rubbing the pole with hands, body, etc. I think you know what images that will bring to mind. 😉
Floorwork that makes you look like you’re a) having sex or b) about to have sex. Barring those two things, floorwork that shows off particular body parts. Butt, legs, boobs…..whatever your best assets are, give them center stage!

I definitely choreograph with care for where the audience is and what they’ll be seeing. If it’s a move that is only particularly pretty with a nice wide crotch shot I make sure I’m on spin pole so at least they don’t get that crotch shot for an extended period of time.
And I know with almost any static pole spin how many rotations I will get. If you start tracking I’ll bet yours are pretty close to the same every time. So I make sure I start in the right spot to finish accordingly.
Floor work is much easier, make sure you build in transitions that maneuver you into the best angles.
-
I tend to gravitate toward dancers who have great reputations for technique, safety, and conditioning. Pantera, Jamilla, Felix, etc.
-
I get mine from a a dancewear shop–they call theirs stirrup leg warmers…I like the longer lengths.
-
I link *dozens* of pirouettes to half spins to more pirouettes to dives and slides in any given freestyle ….. if you watch any “stripper style” video on YouTube you’ll probably see a lot of them. There are SO SO SO many things that can be done, and so many of them probably don’t really have names so to speak.
This is an oldie I did when we had a “pole in street clothes” challenge here on SV. No tricks, nuthin’ but transitions. Maybe you’ll find something fun in there. 🙂
