Baring your skin will allow you to get a much better grip on the pole with your arms and legs so that you can perform these moves safely.
For even better foot grips, try going barefoot.
You can wear heels if you're comfortable with the pole and want to feel sexy, or some trainers to get a good drip on the pole. , Avoid putting any oils or lotions on your body before you begin to pole dance.
This will make you slide from the pole and can even be dangerous.
You can even wipe down the pole before you use it to get rid of any oils or grease. , Just as you would before any other form of exercise, you should do some light stretching and warming up before you begin to pole dance.
Stand straight and then bend down to touch your toes, roll your neck and shoulders, and stretch your hamstrings by pulling one foot back with your toes touching your butt until you feel a nice stretch on each hamstring.
Pull back your fingers with your palms facing away from you to stretch your wrists.
Your fingers and wrists will need to be warmed up to grip the pole. -
