The goal of this week’s pole dancing lesson is to really focus on bringing the Play & Win pole dancing routine for beginners to completion with proper dance technique and begin the intermediate version of the Play & Win pole dance routine.We are on the 5th lesson in this pole dancing routine for beginners and it’s important to really focus on bringing pole lesson #1, lesson #2, lesson #3, and pole lesson #4 together into a complete routine while ironing out some of the details and dance technique required to make you look as good as possible.Once you are done perfecting the dance technique and perform the beginner routine fluidly from memory, you can move on to the intermediate version of this pole dance routine if your skill level and fitness level is appropriate. To move forward into the intermediate version, you will need to be comfortable inverting before you begin.Lets start by talking about some dance technique tips you need to focus on in the beginner routine (intermediates can also use these dance tips in the intermediate routine as well so keep reading): Pole Dance Tip #1: Watch the angle of your feet. It’s important not to sickle your feet when you point your toes. If you don’t know about sickling, there are detailed step by step videos in the PoleBody Complete Home Edition Course. Pole Dance Tip #2: Don’t drag the tops of your feet on the floor when you walk, I know some people teach this, however I choose to fall back on ballet basics and doing that sets you up to potentially fall off balance. If you don’t know what to do, inside the PoleBody Complete Home Edition Pole Lessons Course, you can learn how to walk sexy around the pole with proper foot technique in a step by step video here=> (be sure you are logged in first) Pole Dance Tip #3: Always bring the hips back to a neutral position after kicking them out in various moves like hip rolls or hip sways. Your bones should be evenly “stacked” throughout the spine with the hips slightly tucked under. If you don’t know how to stack your bones and posture correctly during dance, there are detailed step by step videos in the PoleBody Complete Home Edition Course. Pole Dance Tip #4: When lifting the leg to do anything like inverting, executing a pole spin, or simply stepping around the dance pole, always lift the leg from the hip WITHOUT lifting the hip or butt cheek at all. Your thigh bone should be rotated outward, hip settled in a neutral position, causing the heel to lift. Executing all your dance moves with proper form in the leg will leave you very balanced and with the long, lean, and sexy lines of a true dancer. If you don’t understand how to do this, you can learn how in the this pole dancing leg exercise video here =>I will give more pole dancing tips to get better for both beginners and intermediate dancers as we do along in this pole lesson series.For this weeks lesson #5, for beginners => work on tying together beginner pole lessons #1, lesson #2, lesson #3, and Lesson #4 until it’s a seamless routine. Feel free to practice to your own favorite music.Incorporate the pole dancing tips above and work to improve the look of your dance through proper form and technique. Also smile and enjoy what you have learned so far! You deserve a pat on the back!In the Next Post, I will begin the Intermediate Version of the Play and Win pole dancing routine, prepare for inverting moves and enjoying the upside down joy of pole dancing!!! Yahy!See you in the next lesson : )

So we are on week 4 in this step by step pole dancing routine for beginners (or more intermediate and advanced routines if you substitute more advanced pole moves for the the beginners moves in the choreography).In this lesson, we will learn the bridge, some goddess floor work, and a straddle spin. Now the straddle spin can feel difficult for most beginners learning from home (or in a studio) so don't be discouraged. It's "technically" considered a very basic beginner move in the pole dance world, but I like to call it a more upper end beginner move because as you probably already know, my teachings cater to the average everyday woman and what is considered beginner to an average everyday mom is VERY different than the "beginner move" for a pole dancer with great fitness levels preparing for a pole dance competition.Straddle spins can feel difficult because most everyday woman lack the upper body strength and abdominal strength to hold the legs in a straddle position for an extended period of time which is required to do a full rotation on the dance pole. If you are one of the many, and very normal, woman who struggle with upper body strength, then doing exercises for pole dancing to strengthen the upper body are very helpful.Also, adding a separate abdominal workout routine to strengthen the core will greatly assist you as well. Now, if you are like me and hate doing boring "sets" of crunches day after day, then you might like my abdominal routine that is choreographed to music - like a dance. By exercising your abs in this dance routine, you get stronger - really fast but in an enjoyable way. Have you every been in a situation where you were doing something that felt like 5 minutes but an hour really passed? Well that's what a "per-choreographed dance" ab routine feels like in comparison to a boring ab crunch routine done in your standard gym setting. The act of dancing makes things feel enjoyable, and that's really what this step by step pole dancing routine is all about! So, for this week, the first thing I want you to think about is having fun with the first three lessons in this routine. Play with them and enjoy stringing them together. Add your own style and fare to it! If you don't look exactly like me in the video, don't sweat it! This is about you and enjoying your body and your own unique fitness levels and capability at the time. Improvements will come with time : )As stated in the first three lessons, a proper warm up and stretching are critical before you begin this lesson. If you don't have any pole dancing warm up exercises or stretches to do before you begin learning this pole dance routine, then you can get those in the PoleBody® Complete Home Edition Pole Dancing Lessons (along with a lot of other per-choreographed pole dancing routines like this one - for all fitness levels).Here we go!

Welcome to the THIRD lesson in this pole dancing routine. For those of you who are new, this pole dancing routine is broken apart in step by step lessons in a 5 part series so you can learn a pole dancing routine for beginners online (you can also replace some of the beginner pole spins with more intermediate or advanced pole tricks for a more “advanced” pole dance routine).If you made it this far, congrats!! For beginners, there are a million excuses to give up. Pole dancing workouts challenges your attitude as well as your fitness level – nobody said it was easy, but there is something that feels good and rewarding about achieving something that was challenging right? Anything, including your pole dancing lessons routine, that doesn’t challenge you won’t change you! First off, before you move on to the third pole dancing lesson below, you should understand the basic of the first lesson in this series and be able to tie it together with the second lesson in this series.Spend sometime working through lesson 1 and 2 so you understand the choreography before you move on to lesson 2 in this routine.Now, as I have said before, you don’t need to have lesson 1 and 2 down PERFECTLY! You brain needs to understand what’s happening and how to execute things with proper dance technique. It may take time for you body to catch up to what you brain knows and that’s ok : )This third lesson is a little shorter because you will be learning how to do a spinning pole sit with your legs folded back (or crossed over) and then transitioning into a passe’ decent pole move. Combining these two moves together in a sexy FLUID way so it flows well can take some time for beginners.This weeks focus is flow! Try to do things smoothly with grace and ease. Remember to keep your shoulders back and down as you climb the pole and descend off the pole in this lesson.As stated in the first two lesson, a proper warm up and stretching are critical before you begin this lesson. If you don't have any pole dancing warm up exercises or stretches to do before you begin learning this pole dance routine, then you can get those in the PoleBody® Complete Home Edition Pole Dancing Lessons (along with a lot of other per-choreographed pole dancing routines like this one - for all fitness levels).

Welcome to video #2 in the Play & Win pole dancing routine for beginners (and intermediates of you decide to exchange out some of the more basic pole spins for advanced moves - which I will show you how to do as we go through the series).In the first video pole lesson in this series, we started our very basic and smooth. This is a sexy dance with some slowly executed moves that will challenge your muscles to be in control; causing then to sculpt into the long, lean muscles of a true dancer. Don't under estimate the importance of the basic body rolls and hip movements that are slow and isolated. Do them with purpose and control, deliberately using your muscles with your minds intention. Any movement done without control and purpose can allow a loss of proper form, hence making you look....... not so good. Proper form is important to doing a GOOD pole dance : )Once you feel comfortable doing the Windmill pole move and the Swan pole spin, then your ready to move on to the next online pole lesson in this series. Remember, everybody learns at their own pace depending on your fitness level. Don't get discourages if those two moves take you some time to learn.Also, DON'T feel like you need to get it perfect before you move onto the next lesson. Perfectionism can be a big hold back in your progress as a dancer, both physically and spiritually. You don't need to be perfect, you do need to be you however : )As you progress through this online pole lesson series with me, you will get plenty of time to repeat the first lesson and fine tune things. The important thing to understand before moving on to the next lesson is that your brain understands the technique (even if you body hasn't caught up with you yet) AND that you are attempting to do the moves with proper form. If you cheat the form, you cheat your own ability to look as good as you possibly can.Executing moves in proper form is more challenging for your muscles and your tendency will be to cheat. If you give in and do something like JUMP or kick up into your Windmill (or fan kick) as opposed to using your core muscles, then your muscles will not develop the proper strength they ever need to do it the right way and the end result is a CRAPPY looking fan kick.Don't go there, you deserve better. Be patient, be kind to yourself and give your body the love and respect it needs to grow. You wouldn't yell or punish your garden plants for not growing fast enough to produce tomatoes would you? So don't treat your body or your progress that way either. Deal? Good : )Now, grab your favorite pole dance fitness clothes and start learning the second lesson (of 5) in this beginners (intermediate for some fitness levels) pole dance routine now.Please remember that stretching and warm ups are very important and you should do this before following along in the video lesson below. If you don't have any pole dancing warm up exercises or stretches to do before you begin learning this pole dance routine, then you can get those in the PoleBody® Complete Home Edition Pole Dancing Lessons (along with a lot of other per-choreographed pole dancing routines like this one - for all fitness levels).Now that my rant is over, here is the second pole dancing lesson in this series, enjoy:If you enjoyed this pole dancing lesson and this pole dancing routine is a joy, please SHARE it!!
