Blah, blah, blog

I ran across an interesting pole dance blog with some really great advice for those of you shopping around for pole dancing lessons. I have posted a link to it on my blogsite:www.poledancingsanfrancisco.com Here is an excerpt, which I hope you will find useful…

Things to Check out Before You Sign up and Part With Your Cash
Qualifications:
Pole dancing classes tend to be taught either by ex-club dancers or fitness instructors, and to be honest, I’ve seen some pretty shocking practice from both. Fitness qualifications do not necessarily denote a good teacher, but do check the format of the class – there should be a warm-up, a lot of structured pole activity and a cool-down or stretches to end.

First-Aid Training:
Pole dancing can be pretty dangerous. It’s definitely worth checking if someone present will know what to do should you hurt yourself badly.

Insurance:
Public liability insurance is essential – for your own protection and safety and I would not train with someone who did not have it. As a general rule, insurers only insure people they are satisfied know what they are doing, so if your teacher isn’t insured…

Number of Students per Pole:
It’s always worth checking how many people will be in the class with you and how many poles there are. We try to avoid more than three on a pole. Any less and you will work a lot harder, any more and you’ll do a lot of standing around. Three seems to work – you get enough time to practice without getting too exhausted.

  1. Just an FYI

    We are no longer endorsing the my sexy lil pole or Pole Fit. Though it is an extremely inexpensive option for someone just starting out and the concept is good the internal parts are not and are easily broken. I broke it. Beginners would be fine on the pole but if you do any intermediate to advanced moves you will break down the internal components of the pole causing it to fail.

    I have broke or pulled down almost EVERY pole on the market! At least once. I am just finishing my page about poles as some are very dangerous. The new Flirty Girl Fitness pole that you see on MTV for $1. I broke it in 20 minutes and almost broke myself with it!

    • Hi Jessica,
      Thank you for the update, I will update this posting on the blog site. It doesn’t surprise me about this pole (I think it’s the same as the Carmen Electra). I had a client who bought the carmen electra and was complaining that the pole got loose as she did twirls in one direction. I urged her to take it back, which she did.

  2. I am not sure what you’re referring to.

  3. We are holding the California Pole Dance Championship on the evening of October 3, 2009 in Hollywood, CA.

    I would love it if you would consider being a contestant.

    We will be announcing the final list of competitors on August 21. Submissions to be in the contest need to be in before that date.

    If you have a video on line already you can use that in leau of a formal audition, then fill in the short application at http://www.poledancechampion.com

    In person auditions will be held at Evolve Dance Studio for the next three weeks on Wednesday and Fridays from 1 to 3 and on Sundays after 4. Call to make an appointment to come down.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  4. What is the deadline for submissions, Anjel?

  5. Hello. I recently read your article, and was wondering where you were able to attain public liability insurance from. I am hoping to teach small aerial dance classes, and have run into some trouble trying to find a company that knows what I am talking about. I figured you had probably encountered the same thing. Could you help?
    Thank you!

    • Hi Chris,

      First, do you have any certifications in exercise training; such as, pilates, personal training, group fitness, etc.? Insurance companies will generally give you a better rate is you have some certs. and will be more willing to give you coverage. Second, are you planning to do private pole parties? And third, will you be working out of someone else’s facility, such as, a gym, dance studio, martial arts studio, etc. or will you be running your own studio…big difference.

    i wanted to kno if u have classes in newyork city?

  7. Updated 8/18/09

    Submission deadline for California Pole Dance Championship have been moved from August 21st to August 28th.

  8. Hello,

    I am interested in taking a beginners pole dancing class. Will you have another series comin up in the mission sf?
    If so what should I expect and wear my first time.

  9. I think that you are amazing, I have two questions first) out of all the different dance moves which is your favorite and second) how old are you because I want to take it up but fear my age is a factor.
