    Default Playing on the pole after work

    Last night we had fun, there was 5 dancers, a barback, and myself all playing on the poles (there's two). We don't get to do that very often since there's a dayshift, and it's usually fairly busy when I get there to set up for the night. At the end of the night everyone usually just wants to get the hell out of there, lol.

    Usually it's so busy there at night there's no opportunity to do this kind of thing like you will have in a slower club, but one night one of our really talented pole dancers was showing another one a trick and then we had 4 girls onstage playing. Naturally the customers coming in thought it was cool, and stayed. One of the doorguys came up "Who's supposed to be onstage?", but I calmed him down and kept it going (I remember this working well in a slow club I used to be at).

    We have some very talented pole dancers in the club, I'm hoping they will start getting in on it. Also we are expanding so there's going to be an open stage with poles in a seperate area on the slower nights (even if slower nights are relatively busy here).

    Believe me, I would love to have a video of the one special trick I do, even if I can't do it as well on the poles we have in our club (it works best if the ceiling height is within certain parameters). But apparently it's even impressive there, so I want a video to be able to show my grandchildren "Look how silly grandpa looks here!"

    I'll see what I can do about that.

    But back on topic, I would highly recommend that clubs encourage this--playing on the pole and having fun learning--either before or after closing, or on slow nights. It helps the dancers learn tricks, which never hurts, and really builds a sense of community, which is rare in this business.

    One club has me broadcast live classes to their club. I taught 2 classes to a group of wonderful girls...8 of them in total. Class was timed for shift start (4pm), so the girls could play around with what they learned!!

    As one owner found out...there can be serious injuries sustained if pole is not taught properly. A month earlier, one of their more experienced girls was showing a swing, the first girl to attempt is fell off the stage and broke her arm! Then he decided to call me!!

    Yeah I always spot the girl if she is trying something new and it's a tough one.

    That's a great idea to broadcast the class!

    your club doesnt lock up right away. we have to be out by a half hour after the customers leave.

    we save our playing til denny's or whatever other dive is open then.

    They should install a pole for you at Dennys, then, lol.

    We close at 4 AM, and it is usually 4:30 by the time we get out, but I would still like to find a good after hours club here (there are none in Key West). I am thinking of installing a pole in my apt., so this might be it.

    that's how I learned how to pole dance.. My first club let me stay since the manager would give me a ride home and I would just practice and practice for two to three hours, it was great. The vlubs I work at now never allow that, they want you either out or giving dances and to be off the stage.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..
