    Default How often do/did you practice?

    ??? How often before you became a dancer and how often now that you are gainfully employed do you practice? Do not count the time you are actually performing on the stage. I mean time outside the job.
    Hope your employer isn't reading this not that it matters really.

    Does it count that I took ballet for 12 years prior? LOL!

    The month before I auditioned, I practiced floor work in the mirrors in our loft and just generally getting used to the shift of one's center of gravity when those heels are on. Luckily, I had a lot of stripper friends and trips to strip clubs so I knew what I was supposed to look like.

    Once I started dancing, I stayed after work for a about half an hour a few times a week to learn pole tricks. I did this for several months.

    Now at my current club, we have a girl who teaches more pole tricks (as well as poise, social skills etc. if need be) in the mornings on Tuesday before work so I drop in once a month for that.

    I'm going back to my bellydance and modern dance classes in the coming month (when school starts) and I incorporate some of that into my routine. I also want to get a pole for my house to practice on.

    There is nothing worse than a bad stripper, heh!

    I would say that probably no more then half the girl's I've worked with practice or had any prior experience before becoming a stripper. I would also note that ( i feel ) nearly every girl on this forum if not all of them practice regularly, that being the biggest reason they participate here. The girl's I have that do, buy special outfit's and research music and choreograph move's and routine's, they are exotic dancer's that perform on my stage. The other's are stripper's that get naked for money, having little more initiative then to learn to walk in heel's and do a few move's and this they do inside of there work shift. Does it make a difference ..... hell yes, when the crowd scream's, clap's or cheer for a set then there effort's where rewarded, they make more money for there effort, get more attention on and off the stage and are normally happier with there job's.

    When I first started I practiced all the time, but I practiced the gymnastic moves and stretching and stuff like that. Not the good stuff.

    I went through a phase for a couple years where I would occasionally practice a look or a posture or something in the mirror, or hear a song and want to choreograph part of it.

    Now I'm kind of revising my dancing style - things that looked good when I was skinny and muscular don't look as good now, and I think I've forgotten and unpolished a lot of my stuff over the years, besides the fact that I'm totally un-flexible right now. So I practice maybe once or twice a week.

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    I have a pole, so the only part i really got into was learning pole tricks. I did practice in front of mirrors with certain outfits though.
    Thats pretty much it.

    I have always loved dancing in front of the mirror with a new outfit on! I love to stretch and do yoga. I guess I call that practicing. I like to dance for a couple of my friends and ask them what looks best and what I should try. I really love to practice, and it has payed off well!

    Oh, I forgot to say....be careful not to rush yourself too much. You need to stretch, but don't push your body too hard or you will be hurtin'

    Similar here. I didn't practice when I first started . I had been a dancer for my whole life basicly so... I danced for over a year in a club w/o a pole. I learned some pole tricks later on- it wasn't the easiest thing for me so I practiced some early in a shift when no one was really around except the bartender and DJ.

    I really give it up to you pole artists out there- it's certainly a talent ! [clap]

    I never practiced before I started dancing. After I started I would use the second stage when it was closed and business was slow to practice pole tricks.

    There is a sign in our dressing room advertising pole lessons for an hour. I can't remember the cost, but if I had to quess I would say $60. Its crossed my mind. Girls at this club can do some amazing things that I've never seen before, but then again some nights I don't even get on stage and I've never danced more than once a night.
