Whichever type of video you choose or if you opt for private lessons, you will find that pole dancing is a skill that must be learned through practice.  There is an art to moving your body effectively using balance and grace.  Here are a few steps that you may learn from a pole dancing video or instructor:

Prerequisite: A pole installed in your house.  It should be screwed into a stable, structure so the pole will support your weight.  Follow installation directions carefully.

Apparel: A skill that is taught through pole dancing is sexuality and sensuality.  Put on your sexiest clothing when dancing.  It will help you loosen up and be your sexiest self (You might want to hold off on high heels until you are ready).

Relationship with the pole: Since the pole is your major prop, you will need to learn how use it not only for balance and stability but as a tool to wrap your body around.  A skilled pole dancer gets the observer to just see them and they forget the pole is even there.  Walking around, rubbing your body against and caressing the pole will get you used to using it as a tool to promote your sensual moves.

Once you are comfortable moving around the pole, you might try some more advanced moves like pivots, twists, bends and arching body backwards.  The video tutorial or instructor will help you determine when to move on to more advanced skills.  Before long, you will notice a difference in your confidence and how your body moves.

Pole dancing is not just for strip clubs and exotic dancers anymore.  The typical routine is very aerobic in nature and has been the inspiration for a new exercise revolution.  It works the core muscles of the stomach, glutes and abs and is also a great way to improve posture, balance and make you more agile and limber.  Pole dancing has risen in popularity so much that it is considered a sport.  There are even competitions that judge women on their balance, strength acrobatic ability and dance move difficulty.

You might want to try pole dancing because your current training regimen has hit a wall or you feel you need a change.  Or you may be looking for a new way to learn sensual moves to spice up your love life.  Either way, people of all ages are jumping on the bandwagon.

Because of it’s increased popularity, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding video tutorials on pole dancing basics and advanced moves.  A good video will give you information about what equipment needed, clothing/music suggestions and present a plan to start slow and slowly build your skills.  When you start you will even be able to buy your own pole.    There are many resources on the Internet that will allow you to get exactly what you need to get started.

Part of what makes pole dancing an art as well as a skill is using elegance and control while performing physically challenging dance moves.  Dancers typically use the pole as a prop to assist with balance but they also must use it to enable them to bend and twist their bodies in advanced ways.  This is all done while actively seducing their audience.

There is another form of pole dancing that is more acrobatic in nature.  One example of this would be the theatrical stage show Cirque du Solei. Performers twist and twirl around poles and tell a story with their bodies.  The pole is used as more of a piece of gymnastic equipment in this arena.  Significant training and physical ability is needed to perform this type of pole dancing.  To see what they do is really to believe it.  Some of the acrobatic moves are extraordinary and almost super human.

Exotic pole dancing has started to gain respect in fitness circles because of it’s benefits of teaching confidence and self empowerment as well as providing a fun and very challenging workout.  These dance routines focus on strengthening the core muscles and can really burn the calories.

There are many dance studios, gyms and health clubs that have started offering pole dancing classes.  The instructors are mostly real exotic pole dance professionals.  Hey, if you want to learn why not learn from the best?

If you prefer to learn at home, there are various DVDs on the market that will help you learn the necessary dance moves to get you on your way.  They will give you information about what equipment you will need to get started as well as where to buy it.  The internet is also a great resource for you to find what you need to get started.

If you are thinking that you are too old for this latest workout phenomenon, don’t count yourself out quite yet.  People of all ages want to feel sexy and no matter what your age exotic pole dancing might be the perfect workout and self-confidence solution for you and is definitely worth checking out!

Keep movements slow and succinct and move closer to your partner as the dance goes on.  You want your partner wanting more of you.  As you dance for them, try to recall all of the incredibly naughty things you have had.  Touch your skin as you remember being touched or wanting to be touched.  Your partner will pick up on what you are thinking.

When it is clear that your partner cannot take anymore and must have you, allow them to participate in the erotic dance with you.   Be careful to only allow minimal participation at first and then slowly allow more aggressiveness from your partner.  You remaining in control of the situation is a huge turn on and will continue to heighten the experience.
