    Default I feel like I cant dance right

    I keep practicing, watching videos, visiting clubs, and trying to move like the girls I see, then then I watch myself it seems like I just dont have it down, maybe Im being over critical and paranoid but I dont want to audition and look like an idiot. I can imagine what Im gonna be like when Im actually up there! I dont feel like I have that flowing, movement and have to think about what to do next. Any suggestions?

    I think you night be too critical, as most people are with themselves. Have a very good friend watch you and get their honest opinion. Don't try to compare yourself to a proffessional on the video, they have had a lot more experience than you. I'm sure you doing fine.

    DONT OVER ANALYZE YOURSELF, DONT TRY TO BE PERFECT. If you do this you will look very unnatural!! HAVE FUN. Thats what youre there to do, work and have fun. Dont pay attention to what people will think of you, just go with the flow of the music. If you dont feel comfortable dancing to fast music go with slow, or vice versa. Be cool. HAVE FUN!

    Hey REDHED!


    Every woman can dance whether they know they can or not! You just gotta feel the beat of the song and if the DJ is any good, he'll pick songs with a strong beat.

    Don't freak out about your dancing. I feel the same way you do, but I just try to put that behind me.

    You'll do GREAT, girl!

    Besides, most men aren't that concerned with your dancing----they're looking at other assets! *wink wink*

    Remember to move fairly slow and seductively.

    Good luck!

    When I 1st started I didnt know how to do anything!! Im sure I just repeated the same 4 moves over and over! lol....My advice is to keep moving slow. Before the club is open try some pole tricks they are tons of fun when your playing around. Look at your self in the mirror while you practice so you can move to make your body look the sexiest.
    Took me about 8 months to learn a lil show routine and something that I could do also that I was comfortable with.
    Keep trying but dont be so hard on yourself your new still this all will definitely come along in time.

    All these replies are good, but this is especially true about the pole. The truth of the matter is, you don't really need the pole to look sexy, but it can really help with you confidence, and that's all that matters. I have always been great at helping newbies, but there was one girl who just never could get the hang of dancing, no matter how we tried to help her. Then she started doing a few pole tricks, and boom, what a difference!

    Pick the right music!! This can make all the difference in the world. I worked with a realy cute but kind of shy dancer who was kicking ass on the first night dancing to techno, and I was feeling great about her future--and the guys were going crazy for her when she was onstage. When she was done dancing her face was flushed witha nice supercharged, healthy glow. My only concern was that all this attention would go to her head, lol. She made lots of money and was beaming when she left that night.

    The next night I dropped by to see how she was doing, and the other DJ was playing lame-ass top 40 pop music. for her. She was dancing listlessly, not smiling at all, and didn't make shit that night.

    So make sure you pick music that makes you want to move--this will really help. Of course you will have to check with the DJ to make sure it's allowed first.

    And if you feel more comfortable dancing faster, by all means go faster. Its all in how you feel.

    Djoser thats a great point music does make a difference! If you feel something moves you by all means try and get it played for you.
    When I have a great song on I dance like the whole world can see and everyone is throwing 20's at me....eventhough it might be dead in the club. Great music can also increase your mood at work.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. While guys appreciate a good dancer, they mostly care about seeing you naked. As long as you take off your clothes, you'll be fine. You will get more comfortable with dancing as you get more experience.

    Good luck!

    I've been dancing 2 months and still look like an idiot. I am, however, getting better and better with each shift. The customers are beginning to notice.

    Audition already!

    A couple easy moves:

    When you hold the pole and walk around it, keep your feet close to the base and either stick out your hips toward or away from the pole. Walk like a supermodel, one leg crossing over the other.

    Face the pole. Bend slightly forward from the hip and stick out your butt. Hold the pole. Put your feet hip distance apart. Slowly move your hips side to side. Or, bend one leg and straigthen, then bend the other and straighten, etc to move your hips. Look over your shoulder and smile.

    Lie on the stage with the pole between your legs. Move your legs like you are riding a bicycle SLOWLY. You don't even need the pole for this one.

    Lie on the stage. Bring your legs straight up. Prop up your torso slightly using your arms. Keeping your knees together, bend one knee and swing lower leg like it was a bell ringing SLOWLY. Repeat with other leg. Play peek-a-boo with whoever is watching using your legs.

    Have your back toward the pole. Lift your arms and hold the pole (to make your breasts look perky). With your feet hip-distance apart, move your hips side to side or gyrate or some sexy hip thing SLOWLY. Keep your back arched so that your butt sticks out.

    Smile, smile, smile.

    These moves can occupy the length of your audition or the whole day for that matter.

    I think when you first start dancing you're always going to look a little uncomfortable- unless you're completely secure with yourself- most people aren't when they start- I really wasn't. You do learn to "flow" with the music over time though. My best advice is the first couple shifts, maybe start with a glass of wine (if you can drink at your club) but don't get drunk, just loose. Then just try to get in touch with your own sexuality and don't worry about people watching you- just feel yourself out.

    BEST ADVICE IN THE WORLD. Don't think about dancing, you'll screw up that way! you have to FEEL the music and just let it flow! (Even if the music is fast) In your mind, go slow!
