Archived Instructional Video Thread For Strippers

[EtherealMOD]

I've been seeing a lot of posts and/or threads asking for tips on how to pole dance, give a lap dance, do floorwork, and pretty much everything else related to the dancing aspect of stripping. I figured we needed a good general thread with links to good how-to videos that give instruction on these things, or videos people have posted of themselves dancing that show good individual moves.

Very good floorwork video:
[video=youtube;6G0xB9rTR50][/video]

Another floorwork video, step-by-step instruction, basically just the one move:
[video=youtube;ZKcK8GEFY_k][/video]
(the rest of her videos have some really impressive pole routines--definitely not for beginners)

This entire selection of videos give some really good broken-down basic pole moves. Nothing particularly advanced, but some great ideas for transitional moves: http://www.youtube.com/user/MissDirdyBirdy

Funnily enough, this is almost identical to the kind of lap dances I give. By the same person as the first video I posted, but vimeo instead of youtube: http://vimeo.com/23000356

Not really instructional, per se, but you can get some good ideas for basic sensual movement; I really love her style:
[video=youtube;k1hsCf6hWsA][/video]

This is a youtube playlist of some REALLY basic moves--seriously, for someone with absolutely no experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Koaycz3j ... B0C640E7AB

Let's keep the list going!

This is veena's video for split stretches... she mentions that u should warm up before stretching. that's very important! you're much more flexible when your muscles are warm. i stretch after warming up and before practicing pole tricks. i also warm up after doing cardio at the gym. it really helps to stretch after every time you work out, even if you're not practicing pole tricks/floorwork... but try not to overdo it. it's not good to stretch every day cuz you'll get injured. some days are just more flexible than others. if you feel tight, don't hurt yourself. i pulled a muscle by dropping into a split on a non-flexy day and it hurt for months. it took me a while to get my split back. good luck!

This is a great thread. Thanks for posting! I just recently got my own pole so I'm going to get to practicing!

Maybe I missed it when I was going through, but were there videos for just lap dances in there?

First post in the thread. Between the second and third embedded videos.

Another place To look for lap dance videos on porn tube sites. found a few good ones there. or just youtube searching for lap dance

http://vimeo.com/23000356

Great thread! Thanks so much everyone! I am using Art of Pole right now and it's really helpful. Does anyone have any links to good stretches to do for flexibility. Specifically with the V SPIN? I am working every day to stretch into my splits and straddles on the floor and except it to take some time. As of now I am about three inches away from hitting the floor with my right side split. But, it seems to be a whole different matter when up in the air and I think Jamilla Deville could have given more instructions on stretches to do to master that move. Any tips?

Does anyone know any routines or moves/serieses that are good for cardio?

I'm thinking kind of like Zumba but with pole. I'd love to see a fun short-medium length video or videos of pole routines that's main aim is to up your heartrate, a real work-out in otherwords, that would be comparable to doing elliptical/cycling/treadmilling. I know that basically just freedancing through songs does it, but I get bored after a few songs and run out of ideas and something to follow along with everyday would be nice.

^ For me, personally, it'd be hard to get my heart rate up and also keep my hands sweat-free for pole work. The second you start sweating, your legs / arms / body starts slipping off of the pole. So aside from a workout where you're just holding onto the pole and dancing with your feet on the floor, I can't really imagine an effective pole / cardio workout. Maybe that's just me though?

Kind of instructional... Made me laugh for sure. These women's glutes are pretty serious though.

Also Alethea Austin has 2 videos that are really good. Pure Splits and Stretching.

oh! and im part of a group on FB called "stripper style" for those of us that LOVE club style stripper style pole floorwork lapdance all of the above... ALOT of sexy performances and things posted there

https://www.facebook.com/groups/280683724419/

Yes =D annnnd Alethea will be putting out 2 more dvds and theyre going to be SExy as FOOK!! =D Floorwork and Sexy Fundamentals!! So in May look out for them!!!

Seems to get ok reviews from the girls at Studio Veena.
Heres a link:
http://www.studioveena.com/forums/view/ ... 0830082754

hhas anyone actually used the pure splits or stretching Dvd because i cant find any reviews and i don't wanna waste money. to be clear, I'm pretty much not flexible at all so would this help?

He is amazing!

[video=youtube;fod4iyioP7Q][/video]

poledancedictionary.com is awesome! I've been learning from that

That's very true...I didn't think of that.

But what I was thinking of was more short routines (~15min) so you wouldn't get tooooo sweaty. But you're burning some calories. Something that you can just do a few times throughout the day when you have a minute and bam workout done. One of the reasons I invested in a pole was to use it as work out equipment and as of yet I really haven't found a good way to do this...I still love it though! Learned a lot and it's fun for parties I probably need to take a pole class or something to give me some new ideas and such.

Anyone have lap dance videos?

I made this about a year ago for some chair dancing basics

This a awesome, love all the videos posted here to help other dancers.

This is so cute! lol I remember when I used to be that flexible! ;.)

This video is amazing and is full of strength excersises and has variations for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. You can go through all of the progressions with a few repetitions and it has enough material for a nice 15-20 minute pole workout:) I've been doing it a few times a week for 2 weeks and noticed improvements in my strength already and have already been able to mastersome tricks I had trouble with before, and other challenging ones are improving! this girl is awesome

I've taken a couple of classes with him. He is so cool. And a patient teacher.

For those who want some twerking guidance.

Now of course, this is more fast paced than you would do at the club, but the
energy and technique is definitely something to take note of/practice - and I
love his flexibility.

This has some really good floorwork...maybe it's just my club, but I really don't see much good floor work on stage anymore, and it makes me sad

[video=youtube;CRw2hQJIlwQ][/video]

LOVE this thread. Thank you!

Wasn't there a girl who has a website for all the moved a year ago? I'm practicing again and
I can't find her link! She always did so
Awesome!

great thread!!!

This girl's videos are AMAZING! She is so awesome, beautiful, sexy and graceful and she gives the best instructions I have ever seen in a youtube pole dancing video. AWESOME!

[video=youtube;V8MpvwFgWX0][/video]

TOTALLY obsessed with that move! I saw a girl do it in my club and I was in awe, so beautiful! Have to work on that one!

Nicole "The Pole" Williams teaches us some new moves that will satisfy any man.

I've been practicing the swan everyday I get to work and I'm no closer to nailing it than I was a week ago. That shit is hard man.

This isn't bad. I love this song & use it sometimes. She is missing a couple of accents of the music when it gets faster. In some moves it seems like she doesn't complete what she started. Also, sometimes her hands look awkward.

But she is classy & really like her shoes.

^
I know this dancer. She was in the Pour It Up vid. I've taken a couple classes from her studio in the past.

I dont know if I would say this is instructional.. but this girl has some cool moves and its ukraines top pole dancer

can anyone tell me how to do the move at 11:40? (blue boots)


[video=youtube;Vobw7srjE_g][/video]

Working on my butterfly this afternoon and came accross this girl's videos. One of the best sets of instructional pole videos I have seen ever. I love her format of demo, explanation and then live explanation while doing the move, and how she talks about specific contact points and muscles used for each move.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this, but if you have a handy man around or if you're into DIY, then here's a tutorial of how to Make your Own Pole (Home Depot/Lowes Materials) I would say the only thing that would be different would be the brass finish or whatever finish is chosen.


Permanent in ceiling pole (primer/brass finish included):


Mobile pole w/ stage:

Anything on how to walk around the pole and to do a proper squat? I can't seem to do it without my belly sticking out!!! Thanks!

Sarah

I know right?! I always think I'm too thin/unathletic to work in an urban club because of dancers like Mizhani, but she sure makes me want to try. i LOVE her.

not necessarily a tutorial, but if anyone wanted to see awesome tricks:

[video=youtube_share;IwQz5nd0mhU][/video]

spyda, mizhani, magic

Sierra, this is an awesome list! It's great to have everything in one place.

This may sound like an obvious question, but any videos on actual stripping? Like, what moves work best for clothing removal and how to take off items without getting into unflattering positions? It feels awkward no matter how I do it–and sometimes I slow it way down to try to keep it sexy and then I just end up being in a weird pose longer than necessary.

I've taken pole classes and studied videos on and off for many years but that part never seems to get covered. I've watched lots of Youtube tutorials on lapdancing and floorwork and I haven't found what I need (though I admit I haven't watched every single on in this thread yet). Halp!

Also–just wanted to add Wendy Traskos's handstand video to the thread:



I studied with her when I first started and she's still one of my favorite teachers to watch.

So I made this masterpost on Tumblr for onstage stripping stuff, here it is, hope you guys find it helpful:

bump for reading later

Girl we are followin' each other on tumblr, hey hey~
(It's BlueberryNocturne!)

I can't bow to shake my hair or touch my feet balance when I am in high heels. Any tip girls?

Just decided to join the biz. Have no clue how to lap dance! Omg, what if I fall!

so far my favorite thread omg if i had seen this before my first night. thanks ladies!! <3

Very Nice

Good lovely dance

[EtherealMOD]

Oh snap...! This is so my domain right here - this thread. Props for starting this and let's definitely keep this shit going!! I hope I didn't overlook and share something someone else already did.. I was into pole before I started stripping. I thought if I could pole - I could make money in a club. I soon learned the truth... And yet - I stuck with it. I thought I would share my inspiration (and the inspiration of many...) My favorite set from the one they call Felix. She took one of her 2 world champ titles with this one. <3



Here's another routine from one of my favorites Jenyne Butterfly - doing a set on a static pole.



I've heard about Veena.. I checked it out.. If I may suggest - for those serious about pole (and floorwork.. And flexibility training... And silks.. And lyra...)
Poleandaerial.com
Both of these lovely champions are teachers there (along with many other national and world champs) - and if you're one of many who has marveled at Felix Cane and her bendy ways... She teaches lessons on Poleandaerial.com about splits - even over splits (what I'm starting to work into..) She also has a ton of lessons on flex training and they are GREAT!! I can't stress this enough. It's only $30 a month and a lot of the girls I've seen in the videos previously posted in this thread - have been guest instructors and have lessons on there as well. If I might suggest for floor work - Jeni Janover is amazing!! She has some lessons up on Poleandaerial.com that are a lot of fun. Look up her "Buttercup" (my personal fav.. lol) I apologize if I posted a video that someone already put up - I tried to check carefully. Also if you do sign up for a membership (or maybe even if you don't..) They have a great on-line store where you can purchase both Pleasers and Tony shoes - and they have a pretty HUGE selection! Also apparel and accessories *as well as equipment* - everything from angel wings to Mighty Grip!
Check it out! Since I started taking lessons on there I got to Masterclass moves in about a year and a half... I still have a lot of basic boring mechanics I need to revisit because I wanted to do power moves - but I would recommend this site and their entire roster of instructors for anyone who just loves to fucking dance! <3

Here's someone else I've really been diggin' on. Her name is Olga Koda from Russia and she's a lot of fun! Her floorwork is pretty awesome - and she does a lot of break style on the pole. I have a few links - lots of floor - I hope you enjoy!

Koda Pole routine:


Disclosure floor work:


Housework/Floor work - floor on carpet in heels:


This is cool - using the pole as a medium for floor work:


This is silly - just for fun - twerk warmup.. I was hoping to see more of Olga's twerk - for a skinny white girl she has a wicked twerk. She got that twitchy machine gun twerk - you don't really see it here - but it's still a fun video

If you're not trying to stick to the pole - I say socks are sexy! I may be a little weird though *lol* Thigh high socks with the right getup can be downright charming - and you can still do pole spins if you want. I think it would help you slide more on the floor - that's just my 2 cents though

QUESTION!!
If this is the wrong place to post this, let me know and I'll start a new thread.

Does anyone else have trouble sticking to the floor when sliding around on stage? My knees will get caught on the floor and when I drag them they'll move more staccato than anything. It looks really bad, not fluid at all. No one else at my club seems to have this problem.

Does anyone know a good tip for this? I'm thinking of putting baby powder on my knees, or wearing socks, but I want to know why everyone else seems to have an easy time with it and I don't.

^^ Try taking the weight in your upper body/ hands rather than your knees; its hard to give exact advice without seeing you though. My impression is that you need to lift your knees up and use the length of your shins for forward momentum while using your upper body strength for the pull.

If noone else at your club has problems with it then your best bet would be to ask for instructions from another dancer on a quiet shift- I've always found that if one dancer asks for help then starts practicing onstage then at least a couple of others will come over with advice. If you find a video which helps (crawling without dragging knees maybe?) then post.

Also, just sprang to mind. At home, lie flat on ground facing floor on forearms.- Pull lower body forward using forearm strength and using core to assist, the emphasis should be a smooth glide from the knees to the pointed toes. when you cant pull lower body forwrd any more slide out your forearms and repeat. Maybe its a strength issue- you will be suprised at what your body does naturally when your strength builds.

^^Good point^^

I use a lot of floor work and we definately share some similarities but i am inspired to give some of her techniques a try. i don't have her flexibility but I think I am more graceful.

Cleosrocknpole.com is worth every penny of the $25 per month membership price. She has great tutorials for beginners and her rockn legs and abs video will help you with splits. She also some very cool sexy floorwork. She also posts trick tutorials so if you're looking for 1 or 2 really good moves to learn, this is the place.

Also, LindsayLithepole on Instagram- her account is mostly tricks but she gives skype lessons at reasonable rates

Yea - Olga gravitates toward more break style - which I love - but I think it's more impressive than it is graceful. If you're really into floor - I would suggest watching Jeni Janover. She is AWESOME on the floor. She developed her own style - she calls it "Liquid Motion" - some of her moves make it look like she's literally stuck to the floor - but it's so sexy. Here's one of her sets from this year - she was a guest instructor on Poleandaerial.com - so she has some of her "Liquid Motion" videos on there - it's a great site - so many awesome women have videos on there - but yea - they have a whole section for floor, flex, strength building.. Pole, Lyra, Silks - pretty much anything you could think of - it's worth $30 a month. I'm feeling kinda bummed right now watching this shit because I want to jump right back on my pole *lol* I had a baby in April and I'm still nursing so no crash diets, fat burners, etc... And I have a lower back strain (doing physical therapy for) from overexerting *dumb dumb dumb...* But yea.. lol.. This is a fun set from Jeni Janover - if you're into floor you might dig her

Nice tutorial. I like the splitting part.

If you've never taken dance lessons, Liquid Motion is everything. It will not only teach you how to be sexy, it will teach you how to move...the only thing I'll caution is that her actually pole moves are very contemporary..

If you want to be the total package on stage...Maddie Sparkle, or Michelle Shimmy....these girls live and breath sexy.

Yea - Jeni us decent on the pole but her specialty is definitely floor - and I love the liquid style she created. As far as sexy on the pole though I'm old school - I have to pick Felix Cane and Jenyne Butterfly as my 2 all time favorites. Have you seen Felix lately...? She's even more flexible if that's humanly possible..

Can someone link me some actual lap dance tutorials? All the ones I come across seem like someone is watching you dance (like across from you) and not in the actual chair

Look up Emadopeglam on YouTube - she does one with a blow up alien... Priceless! No - but she does some other shit - she has lots of good adivice and demos. <3

Stocking, my dear, stockings. Socks are for the gym or a sports related theme and naughty school girls (my opinion, mind you). Thigh high or knee high, fish net, fence net, or colorful lace or nylon. the fish and fence net is for a partial stiction to keep one from skidding all over the place, while a lace and nylon provides protection and slippage if so desired. With either snags may become inevitable so keep a bottle of clear nail polish handy. If a run, snag, or tear starts to occur surround it with the polish. DO NOT use a UV reactive polish or you will become a glowing spotted leopard.

For an idea of all things related, YouTube. Not much for tutorials, but with a bit of imagination and the right wording one can find a vast number of references to assist in pole, air, champagne, back room, and hostage dances, not to mention floor work and private dancing. Some new, some old, in fact one of my favorites is Gypsy Rose Lee. She never even got fully nude on stage. The clip is from the movie based on Gypsy's life.

Soddy video but it might be helpful.

Very true! I'm a dork and I sometimes do the sports theme - guys (especially the jock types) eat it up - but yea.. It is kind of a niche thing

Thank you thank you thank you!!

Fabulous
Squeeze the pole with your thighs ladies hehehe

Your video is tremendous and I am thank you for sharing it.Keep sharing such nice videos.

StripXpertease has been my best friend the last couple of days for lap dances and floorwork

Does anyone know some good instructional videos for just dancing sexually? I don't have access to a pole at home to practice tricks but I would still like to audition at my local Club in a few weeks or so but unfortunately I am not very good at looking sexy and dancing that way. I just need a few good moves on their own that are go to moves to look sexy so I can ace my audition.

honestly ... Workout. Squats to be more specific.. when I do squats my back arches. It creates these beautiful lines. Weird to explain. But I can be on the pole bend forward and pop up slowly and it's the sexiest thing ever. So exercise!

more lapdance routines please!!!!!

I think it's hilarious that this is a good instructional video on how to act, I feel like 'catch a bow' can be an analogy for making a sale! (My first post here btw and just made an account, so hope I'm not making any mostakes and hey, if I do, I'll learn haha)

Exept for the "be demure, sweet and pure part" anyway!

Random - these things are godsends for eye makeup!
