Pole Dancing Music Help!

_dogma_ · 24-02-2009, 15:21

I'm pretty sure there's someone that does pole dancing on here but I can't remember who

Anyways, to make it up to the next class level I have to do a show. It's basically to prove I have the upper body strength to do the more advanced moves so sexyness, dancing in time to the beat won't really count. We have to make up our own routine and pick the music. I'm thinking about doing the routine on the fly as I don't have any place to practice it.

The music on the other hand I'm not so sure. I'm looking for something about 3ish minutes. Not slow, but not fast. I'm into any music and trying to pick songs from my collections is fairly hard. I'm quite liking Avril Lavigne - Hot, The All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret and The Offsrping - She's Got Issues but not really sure if they're suitable?

I'll be honest and say I'm not quite sure what I'm asking

but any songs suggested I'd listen to. Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Roberta.

Can't help with the rest though.

Hiya.

You should still be able to practice the transitions and talk yourself through the counts of the spins working out where you need to land and the beats you need to do it in without the pole.

Not sure what stage you're at at the moment so can't really help with music. What moves are you including in the routine and what order so far?

Britney - Circus

or maybe quite a bit of Christina's stuff, but more so Britney stuff

Although i actually have no knowledge of pole dancing...

//Edit: Well the wrong knowledge you're looking for anyway...

Christina Aguillera - Dirty.

'nuff said!

I'm only early stages yet.

The moves we've got to fit in are fireman, crossed leg fireman, hang tough, sunbather, dizzy, reverse? dizzy, a move where you hold yourself up with your thighs but I have no idea what it's called and one we will learn tonight. With varying grinds, etc in between.
I'm not sure if he calls him the proper names or not, so I might be talking pants!

Tonight I'm going to work out the bare bones of the routine. Will start of with grind, CL fireman, dizzy, some floor "sexyness", and that's as much as I've got so far.

I've just thought of something else too! I need to have an outfit.

Oh dear.

Are you doing it with Ambyglam?

Most moves are called different things in different schools but those are Polestar names so I know the ones you mean.

I must admit I don't do grinding, just bodwaves as I like the pretty ballet type style, but I know Ambyglam is big on grinding!

For music I would always say choose something you're comfortable with. Dance around at home before class to some stuff and start to narrow it down. Some music just jumps out at you as perfect!

There's a lot of spins in the routine so you can get away with something quite flowy.

_dogma_ · 24-02-2009, 16:48

Yeah, it's with him.

How did you know?

What's a bodywave?

Dancing around at home isn't always easy, I have a cat that's constantly round my feet and a boyfriend who, as soon as he sees be dancing about tries to drag me to the bedroom!

I'm actually looking to get a pole for the spare bedroom to practise with. I'm just unsure if my ceiling can hold it!

There's only one Ambyglam!

Am on forums with him. He's a lovely mover, the dirty trollop!

As soon as I get my pole shorts on my little tom cat is there. He likes to lie at the bottom of the pole and watch. I'm terrified I'll come down from a trick and land on him! My other half isn't interested in the slightest. He's so used to seeing me upside down now.

As long as it's not a suspended ceiling the X-Pole will be fine. I stick a board up under mine to ensure there's no marks on the ceiling from the silicone ring.

You probably already do bodywaves. I use them to warm up the spine in mobility phase in class. It's where you ripple all the way down your body and make it as flowing as possible.
