Different Styles of Pole Dancing

Wow, I can't believe how much pole dancing has touched so many people. Here are my thoughts for beginners wondering if they should do it. Yes! Try it at least once. There are so many classes out there where you can take a cheap intro class and see if you like the style of the instructor. Just remember there is no right or wrong way to dance exotic. Be respectful when visiting studios with they're own language. There are many styles of pole dancing. I teach the exotic style, meaning I focus on sensual dance movement and moves that I used to do as a stripper. That's right...that's how this whole thing started. One of my favorite gals Fawnia Monday, launched the movement back in the late 90's with her informative DVD and she has a unique style. She used to be a stripper, showgirl, performer, whatever you want to call it and shes always been an active fitness instructor and competitor. S Factor did not invent pole dancing. But what S Factor did was plant the seed for mom's and regular gals that had no plans for the stage. Awesome! You have to find a studio or instructor with some experience when shopping for classes. I live in Los Angeles so there are a variety of choices and most focus on the fitness part of pole dancing. That's great but my style is a bit different I let that sneak up on ya. Figure out what your goals are. How do you want to use your skills? Stage? Boyfriend? Getting in shape? Just for yourself? The right classes are out there. Like I said, try an intro class or private lesson first to see if you like it. Avoid contracts and people trying to hook you in for their profit. Pole dancing is an art form that is unique in it's desire for self expression not cookie cutter profit making.
