LADIES! I want to learn how to pole dance! ANY ADVISE?

Question

I want to learn how to pole dance for my long term boyfriends birthday. what is the best way to learn in a discreet way. plus i heard it can be really good for me.

Answer 1

It's hard to find pole dancing lessons purely because most seem to be fun for hen parties rather than lessons for anyone who wants to learn themselves - often places that teach individuals lessons cost a lot under the assumption that you will go on to be a pole dancer and so make a lot of money making the lessons worth it.

I'm still desperately trying to find a good teacher or course locally, and do not seem to be getting anywhere very fast, I think also the fact that many young women have an interest in it and the fact pole dancers can get a lot of abuse both direct and indirect make them potentially a very closed off lot.

Oh, and it is very good for you, helps you stay fit and tone up your body really well, even if you were unfit before enough lessons you'd be fit in no time.

You may want to look through a few pole dancing sites such as those below;

If no lessons close to you then you could always try e-mailing them to see if they can help, although I myself have not had much luck asking them for help. At least there is information on this site, at least it may help give you somewhere to start and possibly better you know pole dancing then easier it would be to get involved or find someone to teach you.

You could always get a load of girlfriends together and do one of the hen night type lessons, it would be a start at least and you could always ask about single person lessons from the people who take you for that.

You can get pole dancing DVD's - the sites listed above should have some suggestions, online stores or links - they aren't as good as actual lessons but it may be the easiest and cheapest way to go.

Another option would be to go to a local strip club and see if you could get chatting to one of the girls – something I'm not brave enough to do – you could ask them if they know of anywhere local that could teach you.

Good luck! :o)

Answer 2

Loads of places do lessons - my sister has done lessons. The classes are fun and not expensive or seedy. Look online or in local dance schools for details. Or if you get no look from this talk to a pole dancer and ask her where she learnt the trade. Nowerdays this sort of thing is not seen as degenerate or lewd by most people
Have fun and give your boyfriend a great birthday!

just be confident and sexy practice in a mirror and pay attention to you'r shapes. alos point your toes when walking. and also try and use eye contact sometimes. it's also really good for burning calories and toning up.
