    Default HELP! Shoes&& The Pole!

    Hey SW,

    I'm fairly new to dancing- my floor work is enough to get my by, but I'd def like to spice up my routine by adding a few pole tricks. My upper body strenght is decent, but I'm always nervous on stage so my palms sweat a little, and the pole is always soooo slippery. I've been thinking about buyng some boots--but they're kinda expensive and I wanted to know your opinions on if you think they will make it easier to get on and up the pole.

    OP: Try some rubbing alcohol. I had slippery palms when I started out on the pole too, it got better and I don't need to use grip aids any longer.

    Upper body strength is good, but you also need core strength and strong legs to get yourself up on the pole for the more intense tricks.

    Start with easy pole tricks first - YouTube is a good place to start looking for "basic pole tricks", then work yourself up from there.

    I recommend just getting a good pair of stripper shoes with straps (no sequins or other fancy stuff - the simpler the better for pole work). You need skin to stick to the pole - the more skin the better - so the boots are probably not the best idea for a beginner. Don't use body-lotion - it makes the pole slippery and you'll get hurt. You'll also bruise at first, but it'll get better the more you practice.

    @BringOnTheMen [Love the name] Thanks doll, I actually considered that but I have no idea where to buy it >.> and I Kinda dont wanna order online. I even went to an adult shop and the guy looked at me like *I* didnt know what I was talking about. Pole Gripp... right? But I know that works... I actually saw a girl put some on her thighs and get stuck on the pole for a few secs. Lmao. I wont over do it tho!

    @MiaStarr I'm def. gonna bring some alchohol to work with me and give it a try! && I'm workin on my sit-ups every night lol. I honestly watch the shit out of the vids but I cant put a pole in my apartment so its hard to get the full effect. But NO EXCUSES I will get it!! Guess I'll hold out on the boots and buy legwarmers to cover these bruises ;P

    THANKS LADIES!!! <3

    Pole grip helps but latex boots will definitely work, you'll be able to grip the pole perfectly with them on.

    Thanks ladies!! OMG, I wanna be like you guys when I grow up. Lol, but seriously--I'm super excited about going to get the grip aid today after I get off my day job. Academy--here I come! Then hopefully that'll be enough to help me save up and get the "crutches"[Latex boots-lol] Wish me luck-- my ego was kinda deflated cuz I didnt get hired at the men's club, but [I'm 5'5 119lbs. --I wont even say it's a race thing , so I dunno....], but to the bikini bar I go. Report later babes!!! Again, thanks SO much!
