In home 1 on 1 pole lessons

MadisonsWorld · 2013-01-09T17:24:00+00:00

Would you ever take in home one on one pole lessons? I am a SAHM and would like to make some extra spending money(i dont want a job outside the house) and do someyhing I enjoy doing. So i have been thinking for sometime about giving pole lessons in my home..(while kids and hubby are at work for comfort of peron) I have extensive dance backgound(ballet,latin,cheer) and have been pole dancing on and off for 14 years..starting off as a stripper and the last 10 yrs dancing for pure enjoyment...I do have tuning up to do as far as advanced tricks, I have floorwork,chairwork,basics and beginner tricks down I have been offered several areobics instructor positions and a pole instructor position with the requirement learning advanced moves ,but volunteer at my kids school also, so i prefer to make my own schedule. I have had a few stripper parties(doing just basic no off the floor moves. yes i do now own an x-pole )..and have been asked to teach a few people...i have a room just for pole and crash mats..so i guess my main question is knowing this and if you saw the instructors experience in person, is it something you would do? of course the woman will be beginners, most if any never having contact with a pole.. this is not something i would be starting tomorrow, but maybe next school yr(sept 2013) giving me time to brush up on things..looking for feedback..thanks in advance

@MadisonsWorld - if you have an X-pole or removable - you can use that - just makes sure that the client has given you the correct ceiling info and that they know how the pole works. I use my X-poles and take them up and down - they are pretty easy and I'm turning into a pro pole setter upper, lol!

Do you have a pole at home right now? I recommend X-poles and they go to around 9ft out of box and is in pieces - you can even buy extensions - if you are going the "have pole will travel" route - I suggest that kind of pole.

When the studio that I taught at closed and my students were bummed my husband wanted me to teach out of the house, mainly because he knew how upset I was for leaving my students and also that he knew I really enjoyed it. We actually got into a little bit of an argument over it because I was trying to tell him excatly what I had learned here and in an instructor forum; he thought I was looking for an easy out. If you do go forth, make sure that you have someone who knows where you are going and when you are supposed to be done and if you do not check in they are to alert the police if they cannot reach you.

Yes, great advicde Chem - I only go to clients houses I know - they can invite their friends if they want - this has caused serious limitations for me because I cannot generally take on new students so I only work with those I know here or through FB. My bf knows the adress and phone number to where I am going - we do check in's - etc.

I have been the contact person not only for friends who do teach (at other people's homes) but also for first dates.

I had a first (and last) date get terribly offended by that lol

I have friends who have called someone from the bathroom asking them to call them back in 5 minutes and act like it is an emergency to get out of a date. But that is a whole other topic.

LOL Chem...my friends and I had the code word "turtle" - if we called and said that then you needed to text us back with an "emergency" so we could jet - and by text I mean on a 2 way - cause i haven't dated in EONS lol
