Hey, everyone, first post! I'm a new dancer (2 nights so far) and I feel like I'm doing quite well, but I'd really like to add something with "WOW-factor" to my stage routine. But honestly, doing something on the pole for the first time while customers are watching would spell disaster for someone like me. So I'm wondering, how did those of you who pole-dance learn? Did you take lessons, buy a pole for your bedroom, or come in early to your club to get practice time in, etc? Thanks in advance!

) i always thought to do pole tricks, it required the friction caused by bare skin to the pole to keep you up on the pole and help you climb, but charly girl said not to wear too thick pants.. can one wear jeans on said pole and still acheive the same effects? does this mean i can practice without having to wait for shorts season? does this mean i should stop asking stupid questions and just go try it for myself god dammit? i could have been practicing all this time! to the park!!!

handstand with legs and pole? sounds like something that takes a lot of strength and practice... how long does it usually take to build the arm and upper body strength needed to do all these things? i can barely do a push up.
i do work out regularly though. what excercises do pole dancers do regularly to build that kind of strength? or is it all earned gradually on the pole? (sorry for all the questions...i just really like to condition before i start things..)
