Valentine's Day 2016 at Pole Passion - Sexy lap & chair dance, 7 Sexy Secrets

7 Sexy Secrets of a lap or chair dance - www.polepassion.com

Empowerment, Confidence, Fitness & FUN!

For many of you who know the history of Pole Passion, you will know we started our Pole Passion journey with Sexy Pole Parties, at a time when 'PoleFitness" didn't exist or created, and within these parties we surprise our guests with a one hour sexy pole dance tuition which includes moves, tricks, spins, transitions and poses with sexy tips and techniques all along the way and if requested we would add on a bonus surprise of a half hour introduction and psychology session, of a lap/chair dance for your special person

Lap dance or dancing round a chair, for the majority of us is not an every day activity!!  And it’s more than just thrusting and gyrating your hips in the general direction of a man (or woman) sitting in the chair and hoping the lights are dim enough they will get the gist! 

So here are my top 7 tips to make your dance go well

1.     Wear something you can move in comfortably and freely and clothing that feels fabulous on your skin – less is more, so chose wisely and consider if you will be stripping during your routine or not – Your skin on skin contact feels amazing so remember to use lots of body tracing during your routine, demonstrating to your ‘audience’ how and where you like to be touched. Heels or no heels? You choose but always remember to practice before hand, preferably on and around the chair you will be using
2.     Chose your location, dance area, wisely and remove all distractions ie: pets, children! mobile phones. Make sure you have lots of space around you too, to be free with your movements. Keep the lights low and wear and spray your favourite perfume minutes before, if you can – smells can trigger powerful erotic moment!!
3.     Make an entrance walking towards the chair oozing sexual and erotic prowess  - maintain that eye contact as much as possible and remember the back is just as sexy as the front so remember to dance a 360 degree dance
4.     Think about the music that will motivate and move you to a sensual flow of transitions and gracefulness – remember you need to FEEL sexy before you focus on what LOOKS sexy. Listen to the words in the music, are they appropriate?  Think, slow is sexy, it is also hard to dance to, so take some time in choosing your song choice an choreography
5.     Practice, practice and practice again, always be free from injury; a body needs to move fluidly and without pain to be giving it’s best, however that said, don’t let injury stop you doing what you want to do and express yourself with adaptations if necessary, but always under the guidance of a doctor or physician. A stiff neck or back prevents your natural flow and will not allow your mind to flow freely too.  Enjoy the way the moves FEEL in your body, stop stressing on how you look and concentrate on how you feel. Concentrate on the ‘sway’ in the music, rather than the beat
6.     And finally be kind to yourself, you will be the most judgmental person of your routine.  No one watching will be judging or analysing your techniques. So, be confident with your head up and be proud of who you are – You will be nervous, but there is nothing more fulfilling than the feeling afterwards when your special person has received your precious gift of dance and the exhilaration of giving the gift of erotic and emotional exposure through movement
7.     And my final tip is always leave them wanting more – leave the room before or at the end of the song, where you can have a glass of water or something stronger waiting J They will be dazed


Own your dance, keeping it simple and playful, but remember to stay in character and have fun creating your special gift
For more information on how to give a sexy dance ask your instructor for more information about special classes and 121's available 

Happy Valentine Day 2016

Pole Dancer, Pole Dance, Pole Fitness, Pole Sport - what's the difference?

So I asked a few people in the Pole Industry
What is the difference to you, between Pole Fitness, Pole Dance & Pole Sport


BECKY MacPherson – PolePassion Oxted

Pole Fitness- I see pole fitness as a series of spins, tricks and transitions on and around the pole to build strength, co-ordination, flexibility and balance.

Pole Dance - Pole dance to me is about linking all the moves fluidly in a routine, incorporating more poses and floor work and done to music. Pole dance can be done to any type off music and incorporate other styles of dance, Pole dance is very individual and a great way of expressing your emotions.

Pole Sport - I've never really thought what pole sport means to me. I'd say it's more the competitive side of pole, individuals train to compete rather than as a hobby/fitness.

KARLA McCarthy – Pole Passion Chichester

For me pole dance is more about the artistry of pole. Dance styles around the pole maybe incorporating more flow than tricks.
Pole fitness is about learning something more gymnastic based and pole sport is the competitive edge of pole.
People who compete for titles do pole sport for example. However, I do consider pole fitness a sport too just not done at a competitive level.
It is accessible to all.

LUIS John – Pole Passion Brighton

I believe the difference between pole sport, pole dancing and pole fitness is the way in which I may relay my interest to another person to buffer for any stigmatism that may unfortunately still be attached to everything pole.

Of course, pole is becoming a lot more widely accepted now thanks to the likes of strong individuals setting pace and media platforms showcasing their amazing talents. But, we all still carry some hesitant back foot, get out of jail card excuse when someone asks why pole?!
Yes, to get fit, to increase self confidence and well being and of course for the fun factor!
I do it because I can! Being a young heterosexual male I wouldn't describe my interest as pole dancing but pole fitness because I don't appreciate the remarks I get when ill-educated people, jump on the same stereotypical train that's been doing it's rounds for years and will continuously do so for many more.
A recent picture seen on one of my social media sites sparked a colleague of mine to make a remark not so long ago.
This colleague is a gym going, masculine man carrying out a job which requires him to be intimidating and forceful, which he does very well. When referring to a recent picture of mine in a shoulder mount he asks questions along the lines of... "Are you gay?" "Isn't that for girls?" "Why would you?"...
I simply answered
 "because I CAN"

Who cares what sexuality you are?!
What you do for a living?!
Who cares what anyone else thinks?!
Pole doesn't!

Nadia – Romania

For me pole fitness must come first – learning the tricks and moves then must follow the dance
Pole Dance a set of moves tricks spins all set to music to create a performance then if the student wishes they can then compete in the pole sport
For me the pole dance is more artistic and a way to express yourself and tell your story with the help of the music.

Pole Fitness – moves, tricks, spins, transitions, poses incorporating floor work stretch flexibility coordination balance poise grace beauty, confidence empowerment fitness and fun

Pole Dance is all the above incorporating cardio vascular and aerobic sequences, set to music to create a choreographed well-rehearsed routine and is usually done in front of an audience

Pole Sport –is a competitive genre of pole dance, usually with strict rules and regulations attached to it. Pole sport can be demonstrated in many ways depending on the rules of the event

Pole Dance, Fitness and Sport all originated from the exotic dancers of gentleman’s clubs as many of the pioneers around the world originated from their adapting and transforming the new moves of today.

First came the Pole Dance (Pole Passion 2001), then the pole fitness (Pole Passion 2006 REP’s Accredited Instructor Training ) then the pole sport (World Pole Sport & Fitness 2009)
