The first day I worked I climbed the pole to the top twice and thought I was going to faint! I probably had done it the wrong way, using more of my arms then my legs to hoist myself up.
The second day after my audition I was determined to climb the pole to the top, again.. The club had just opened and there were no customers. Three other girls joined me on the second stage and showed me different ways to climb the pole. I tried, and tried, and tried but I think I was so sore from the past two nights that my body was fighting against me on the pole. Later my boss comes to me a says that I should slow down, it's only my third day.
It's hard not to try, though!Every job I've had I've given it 110% and I want to do the same with dancing!! He also told me that lots of girls barely touch the pole and make bank. Which made me think of a conversation I was having with a customer. We were watching a girl do some great tricks on the pole but he commented that she looked constipated. I told him it was because she was concentrating on what she was doing. Since then I plan on smiling in whatever I am doing.
I want to try new things on stage but am afraid I will fail and turn the customers off. The DJ has introduced me each time I get on stage as "new with us" so maybe they will understand?
How long was it before you started doing pole tricks? Hustling is coming natural to me, which I am so happy about, and my floor-work is sufficient and striving to improve, but my skill on the pole is limited to simple twirls and using it for balance. Sometimes I think I hold on to it too much but the stage isn't that big and would hate to take a tumble OFF the stage.
