This is me pole dancing last night, at our Level 5/6 for-the-hell-of-it recital/graduation:
The way it worked was, everyone brought a song of our choosing to class, and at the beginning of class, we each drew names. Someone would bring their song up, and then whoever drew that person’s name had to dance to that song. The result? No one had any idea what they were going to dance to. As it turned out, I ended up having to dance to a song that I really did not like (a co-worker tells me it’s an Outkast song; I never would’ve guessed that). Very challenging! But I tried to make it work, and I think I did a pretty good job of it, all things considered!
I don’t think it’s my best-ever performance, but it’s good enough that I didn’t feel too embarrassed to post it.
Eventually, I’ll make some videos of me dancing on the pole at home, but the pole/stage set-up I have makes things more challenging.
Be gentle. :)

pretty aweseom. not my favortie Outkast song, but ok. OK gotta shut it down. people in the meeting behind me are going to wonder. heh.
From what I can load on my computer it’s impressive!
(started poledancing about a month ago and love it).
Yeah, can’t say as I care for the song…at all…but you did good! You have really long legs, btw.
Thanks, Ren! That is high praise coming from you! :D
And you’re not the first to say that about my legs… as Jenny (aka, “jt” here) has said, “Who knew you were all legs?”
Woohoo! Nicely done Amber.
/reaches for wet nap.
btw, forgot to say: i totally loved the lighting, the way it made you look more like a shadow. that doesn’t sound right, but it just made it even more alluring.
Not bad at all, Amber..in fact, pretty damn awesome, considering you had no choice of the music and all.
What level is considered close to professional grade, BTW??
Anthony
This one! :)
Level 5/6 is the highest level… it’s actually the “maintenance” level, where those of us who have graduated from the previous 5 more structured levels can just continue to practice and learn more challenging moves.
But honestly, “professional grade”… it really depends. Rusty and I went to the Pink Pony (a local strip club that is, apparently, famous) when I was in Level 1, and not to brag or anything, but I could already do more tricks than a lot of the strippers there.
Damn, girl. :-)
Sorry it took me so long to watch/comment on this. I started watching at work and it became readily apparent that this would be hard to justify to my assistant if she walked in. ;-) And well…life’s been a little crazy of late.
What amazes me…well, one of the things that amazes me, is how freakin’ strong you are. I think I’ve said that before, but…dang. Definitely wouldn’t be my choice of song either, but well done! Impressive all the way around, but particularly since it was totally extemporaneous. (Do I get bonus points for spelling that, just for you, when I’m this tired?)
I think I say this every time, but can it really be said enough? I’m so proud of you! :-D
