    Default I have until Thursday to learn to pole dance

    Me and my friend decided we wanted to move up in the world and checked out one of the higher class clubs in town last night.It seemed great! The carpet was pracically worn down on the way to the lap dance rooms.
    I asked how i would go about getting a job and was told all the usual stuff plus the fact that i would be expected to pole dance during the audition.
    Well you see that struck fear in my heart because i cannot pole dance! can't even do a basic spin! i've got by so far from doing a little twirly round the pole and using it as a prop.
    So heres the deal, the club we are in just down is a dump and a dying one at that. I'd really like to work here sooner rather than later. Are there any "tricks" which aren't really tricks at all (i.e not lifting off ground) that a noob pole dancer would be able to pull off?
    And do you think i should just wing it and audition anyway. It did seem like every girl we saw was flying through the air, but then we only saw about 5 girls and that was the entire night.

    So nervous! xx

    Well what do they want you to do? Do inverted monkey spin flips? <sarcasm> I mean as long as you look graceful doing simple moves you should be ok. I suggest some youtube pole video watching. Alena downs has some vids on there that are worth seeing even just for simple moves.

    Remember you will look better doing things you KNOW how to do, and doing them well, than attempting to perform things out of your range and not looking sexy (which is really what you're there for!)

    Thanks for all the advice.
    I called the club and asked them to clarify what they meant. It seems they are looking for professionals only and thus my jig around the pole won't cut it.
    BUT i have contacted another club who will fully train me in the art of pole, and thus will be auditioning later in the week. Woohoo!
    i've been having nightmares of me trying to do tricks and falling on my face.

    That's interesting, I've never done pole tricks and I've danced for 13 years. It seems like a weird requirement for hiring. If the girl is hot, you hire, talent be damned. That's the only way I've seen in go down in SC's.

    ^^^^^^^^ Yeah. Is it pole dancing or pole tricks? If its just pole dancing, just hold onto the pole and dance. Mimic girls you think look sexy.

    I've never heard of a club caring about "professionals only" or pole skills. Do you think they are telling you that to scare you off perhaps? Can you share which city this club is in? You don't have to of course!

    Ok "pole tricks" take time and practice to learn, and love. You can always play it off and just play with the pole and through a lot of your sexuality into it.

    That's weird. I don't think I've been to a club where all the dancers are doing pole tricks. Auditioning is common, but as long as you can dance around the pole and do your thing on the ground, I don't see why they would expect EVERYONE to actually get fancy on the pole. That's strange to me..

    Maybe that's why they only had 5 girls working. I'd go in and audition anyway. If they don't hire you then you can train and go back.

    I'm also curious to know what and where this club is? I've never heard of pole dancing being a requirement for hiring girls. Sounds like another form of discrimination to me, especially for the non-pole dancers. Knowing the pole or not doesn't prove professionalism in this industry, it just proves you know how to pole dance.

    sometimes people refer to regular stripper dancing as 'pole dancing,' do you think this is what they meant? you can be professional and not ever touch a pole.

    That doesn't make any sense to me. A lot of dancers learn pole tricks at work-- WITH TIME. What kind of a club is this? Lots of dancers have been dancing for years and still don't know any pole tricks, they're just good dancers. That's bullshit! They might just be blowing smoke up your ass. I'd go elsewhere...unless you REALLY, REALLY want to work there.

    It's one of these better than thou gentlemans clubs who likes to think their the best in town.
    I'm not bothered any more, sent a picture to another equally nice club and they asked me to go in last night. Didn't even have to dance, the guy just asked me to take my clothes off to prove i was comfortable naked and i start on Fri And we met the girl who teaches pole dancing and she seems lovely and eager to train us.
    It's a "nude" club which is uncommon over here but really you have to cover your kitty so they don't see anything, and are not allowed to spread which suits me just fine.

    Good! I'm glad you found another club that will work with you. I know what kind of "Better Than Thou" club you're talking about. Sometimes being around all the "snootiness" just isn't worth it.

    I've never heard of it either, and furthermore, it's a dumb fucking requirement. Some of the sexiest dancers I have ever seen never messed with the pole, and they don't need to.

    Sounds to me like a new twist in the ubiquitous and extremely annoying managerial intimidation ploy.

    If you are a newbie it might come as a surprise, but most managers and owners are pathetic excuses for men, and they compensate by fucking with the dancers, sometimes literally. Fortunately the guys I work with are exceptional, but I've seen it to some extent in every club I have worked in except this one, even if it was often by managerial wannabes.

    As far as easy pole tricks to learn, the one I always start them with is to grip the pole with your stronger hand, lean out as far as possible, and crook your leg as high up as possible on the pole, so your knee id the inside of a hook. By simply falling forward you can get a good spin going, and with minimal practice it can look flowing and graceful. You can do it for practice on a street sign or better yet a playground. I haven't seen anyone yet that didn't pick it up very quickly. I just showed this to Ana from Moscow tonight in the old side of the club, and it worked even if i had to cut it short and go change the music.

    Thanks Djoser i really appreciate the tip. We are going in 1/2 hr before our shift on Fri so will definitely give that one a go before any custies come in.
    Part of the reason why i wanted to get away from the club i was at was down to the managers. bunch of mean wankers! The manager at this new club is lovely. I swear he had a red face when i got naked lol. And the girls are friendly too. it's a bit quieter but has a great atmosphere and they do a 50% split which is high but it's kind of the norm here and it means i won't ever go home with nothing.
