Learning pole dancing can be challenging yet fun. There are lots of moves to learn but first, you need to know the basics to pole dancing.
First of all, get hold of a pole. There are lots of dancing poles sold on the internet. Some Hollywood celebrities who are pole dancing enthusiasts like Carmen Electra have stripper poles installed in their homes. If you don't have one, you can try rehearsing using the stripper pole in the club you're working at. Some pole dancing clubs provide free pole dancing lessons for beginners. You can also choose to enroll in local gyms which offer pole dancing lessons.
Feel sexy and be sexy. Wear comfortable yet sexy clothing. Bare as much skin as possible. The reason for this is that so you can have better grip on the pole. Also, it is best to learn pole dancing when you are barefooted for safety reasons. You can try dancing with your stilettos on when you are already comfortable doing pole dance.
To start with, grab the pole firmly. Put your foot close to the base of the pole. Straighten your arm and do not put your weight into the pole. Swing your outside leg to the side and take a full step around the pole. Bend your knee slightly as you turn. Put your outside foot behind your other foot, and hook or clasp your inside leg around the pole. Lastly, arch your body towards the back. As a starter, arch your body only as far as you are comfortable. Make sure that you have a good grip of the pole to avoid injuries. Once you've mastered this basic step, you are now ready to learn more complicated pole dancing moves.
