Special Pole Exersices: pole exersices also vary depending on your level of expertise, atheletic condition, and goals. Some exersices are meant to tone up specific bodyparts like the hips, triceps, shoulders, etc.. These exersices are often performed by novice pole dancers to achieve a certain body image, strengthen weaker muscles, or be able to perform difficult pole dancing moves that require strong muscles to be well developed. Other exersices are meant to gradually teach the dancer how to perform certain moves and be able to balance their bodies in different positions. Further more, certain pole dancing exersices are actually meant to develop the dancer’s ability to communicate with the audience through body language, looks, and sensual moves that complement the different positions and moves a dancer makes.

Walking Techniques:

Pole dancers generally are concerned with walking according to the dance sequence they are intending to do. For instance, when preparing to hold the pole with your hands and jump lifting yourself up, hold you head up making chin forward and looking straight. Remember, walking is not about “what your legs and feet look like when you make your steps” it is about the facial expression and body language that is brought out through an attitude you impersonate. Although pole dancing moves are a bit more exotic and visually appealing to their audience, notice how belly dancers flow with their whole body impersonating the music that is being played. You may use that technique to develop your ability to impersonate rock and roll type of music bringing out a competitive, confident attitude with your body and facial expression. Your lower body movements and steps will certainly follow what you are thinking of. Try it next time you exersice and see for yourself! By doing this, you have are learning to observe how to bring out the beauty of your body, the strength and harmoney of your dance moves and you are at the same time learning to appreciate other forms of dancing and learning from them! Copying or imitating a walk, even that of a very good pole dancer should not be done by calculation of time and step patterns; simply understanding and impersonting the feeling, facial expression, and attitude when their toes touch the ground will be your key to improving your steps and walking patterns. Again, never underestimate the art of observing a pole dancer’s attitude throughout their dance!

Now that you have learned how to copy a professional pole dancer’s walk without even copying it, you are ready to start exersicing on that pole and bringing out the beauty of your expression through your toes and legs. Remember that pole dancing should never be thought of as a series of moves and technical gestures. It is a feeling and an impersonation of the music and a way of expressing yourself through your body language. To sharpen your skills at those moves, you can also do them at the comfort of your home.
