    Default SOOOO NERVOUS I need opinions please.

    Ok I started pole dancing classes a few months ago Im decent for what I know but I was just asked/volenteered to be in a showcase performance. Im sooooo nervous its gonna be in front of a ton of people and i have a much fuller figure then the other girls in the showcase. I also have to come up with a costume too any ideas for costumes I wanna find one that fits my look and is there any thing you ladies do to get yourselves in a sexy confident mood? (im lacking the sexy confidence). Id really like to blow them away. If all goes well I may post my performance.

    They wouldn't have askedyou if they didn't think you'd do them and yourself justice. Don't be nervous, you will do awesomely (you know you will or you wouldn't have accepted :p)
    Costumewise, I'd suggest something simple in shape that won't distract you, but with sparkles or a bright colour. Personally my go-to outfit is a little black garter skirt with the garter straps removed, and a black bra that has little pink flapper fringing at the top. The fringing moves a little but doesn't distract me or an audience too much, and I know the skirt won't get in the way.
    Eyelashes and glitter eyeliner just to make you feel glamorous

    No harm in posting them, right? Then we'll be able to tell you if you have anything to worry about before the fact.

    Here's a costume suggestion:



    The booty shorts are functional for pole work without being too revealing, and the overall look is sorta naughty reform school girl.

    Good luck with your performance, whatever you decide to wear.

    Oh damn. I posted that image last year in another forum for a pole dance instructor (damn what was her name? I think she was in BC.) with the link. I had to save the pics in photobucket first in order to post them, which is why I still have the images. Sorry, I don't remember the website, but it was a very popular and polished costume/lingerie/stripper outfit site as I recall. It was their "Reform School" collection.

    Here's the other pics I saved in photobucket at the time anyways:

    I don't know how good you are at poll dancing, but you definitely have a great figure. I don't think you have anything to worry about there. Do you know what any of the other girls in the showcase will be wearing?

    I hear you that you were exhausted...but in my opinion the routine lacks fluidity and energy. Are you having problems with your hands slipping on the pole?

    I believe the move you're doing is about 53 seconds into this video...except you go all the way to the floor (ignore the first few): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PLP...eature=related

    The way you do it, it looks much less controlled...more like you're falling instead of doing a pole move.

    That being said, I love your plus-sized look. Once you add a strippertastic hairdo and makeup, you'll look great! You also have a very sensual way of moving...it's almost like sticking to the routine is holding you back!

    I hate routines I did better when I freestyled at the last studio I was at (I was passionate and intense there and I wasnt falling to the ground at the other place. This studio is making me regress not progress) I need to work on my endurance tho and the other studio supplied us with Dry Hands because I sweat so much I slip more now not having that stuff. I need a routine that works for me I feel trapped with their routines and music. I need music that gets me in the mood for some reason the song Buckcherry-Crazy Bitch causes me to dance energetically and feel sexy but the music we use is like Lady Gaga-Paparazzi Idk just doesnt make me move. Im always so worried about my figure so thank you for that compliment

    ^ I hear ya girl. Without the right music, my dancing energy plummets. Then the second some hip-hop comes on or something, my groove instantly returns.

    My advice: just smile a ton while you're dancing. The second someone looks like they're taking themselves super seriously, it's much easier to criticize that person. So at the showcase, focus more on looking like you're having the time of your life and projecting that energy. Make eye-contact with people briefly (conveys confidence!) and have fun with it. That's half of the show!

    I just hope the routine is peppy for the showcase I need to work on my strength. They dont do warm ups or strength training which actually caused a hip injury for me last week so I think after the showcase I may change studios again or just work mself harder than the others.

    AHHH! You rule! Crazy Bitch is my ultimate stripper song. I can be having the worst night , but when the DJ puts this on for me, nothing else matters but me and my sexiness!

    Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves it. Can you request different music? If you are doing a feature does that mean you are doing it alone? If so then you should be able to choose your own song. Remember, YOU are paying THEM, and not the other way around. They owe you and your bad self. :-D

    Go rock them no matter what!

    Charlie is right, the routine they taught you does lack fluidity in it.. I hate that stand up pole hump type move all these studios seem to teach.

    That being said you can likely tinker it. Good luck.

    Some moves they teach rub me the wrong way I like moving my hips in a sensual manner cuz I got the big butt and hips lol I want to look sexy but classy dancing and some moves feel borderline raunchy.

    Oh, wow, that's the first volunteer class I've heard of actually. Neat-o. I still don't see why they won't let you pick your own music though. They are not the czars of music. :-( No fair. Maybe try memorizing a song you like and playing it in your head during your performance so that you are dancing to what you like whether they like it or not. :-) REBEL!!!
