    Default Nervous about getting started

    Hi,
    Im a little nervous about going out and starting to dance. I am confident in my body but have never danced before and I dont want to make an ass out of myself. Any tips?

    Dont dance spasticly like your in a dance club, it seems most new girls always do that. Take it slow and try to move sensually, the slower the better-just watch the other girls to see what they do.

    imitation is the best form of flattery. so echo is right, watch other ladies and mimic. use the pole for support, lean on it (put your back to it) and touch yourself sensually. be slow and steady. good luck! you may not be perfect or comfortable the first time you dance on stage, but it will come with experience.

    Love it!

    If you have multiple stages, you can actually "copycat" what another dancer is doing, till you get the hang of it. I used to do that. Just be very low key about it, you can miss moves or w/ev. But it sure helped me feel secure!!!

    Thanks for ur support. I think after the first time is over, Ill feel much better. Im probably nervous just as anyone starting out would be. The whole, what if I fall during a private dance, or walking across stage. I probably will. How did u guys practice the pole tricks, Id love to get good at that, plus its great exercise!

    eh, pole tricks are over-rated. Focus on flirting and being seductive with the guys watching. You'll win way more guys over that way.

    hip movements should be gentle swaying....move slowly. Don't dance like you would in the club.

    Don't worry we've all been through beginner jitters, if this is what you want it will get better I promise.

    Why don't you try to:

    - Get naked, put your shoes on and practice dancing in front of the mirror
    - go to a few clubs and check out how the dancers move. Go home and try to imitate them

    Also, don't worry about how you look because a lot of men find it appealing when they know a girl is new. Just make sure you make eye contact when your on stage and flirt your ass off

    Good luck!

    I am also a newbie and I am so happy that I read this trend, because, well lets just say, I would have looked like a fool.

    You know what helped me move very sensual, belly dancing classes. I never thought I would move my body as sensual as I do now.

    Thanks girls

    Ok Taribella, everyone and I repeat everyone DOES look stupid their first ever time on a stage in front of oogling customers. Practice at home, watch the girls, all is great advice BUT when it comes down to it...once youre actually up there you will get nervous. The first time is scariest, after that its easier and soon you will learn what looks good and what looks stupid. I looked like an effing idiot my first time on stage and I had frequented strip clubs in the past, got advice from my roommate who had been dancing a couple months, and even practiced in my shoes! Once I got on the stage I practically forgot everything that I had taught myself and suddenly thought shaking my ass in a spastic fashion was a good move and swinging around the pole like tarzan was sexy! I sucked! But just tell guys you are new and you will prolly bank because new girls always make alot of money!

    The number one tip for new dancers is this: Move a LOT slower than you think you should. Slow, slow, slow it down. Nerves will make you move fast and you're used to dancing faster than strippers do anyway. So take it easy.
