Hi ladies! I’ve been hosting 1 hr pole parties for awhile now, what I have found beneficial is to pick 3-4 basic spins and choreograph around them. Of course most of the parties I host are for newbies to pole, so it will depend on your audience. But you want to keep it simple so they remember the choreo, feel sexy, have fun, and allow them time to catch up to you. For instance, I start off with a sexy walk, so they get a feel for dancing, a feel for the music and a feel for being sexy, then we do leg admiration into a fireman spin. Upon landing in the spins, I always do a movement behind the pole, to allow ppl to catch up, to take a breather, and to have a sexy silhouette. All spins take an 8 ct, again so ppl can take their time. And I tell them not to hold the spin, but to gracefully slide down at the end of the count, since not everyone will have the strength. We have spinny poles, so if your poles are static, you may make adjustments. While I choreograph for a 3 min song, we rarely get past a 1.5 min or so of choreography after introductions, safety talk and warm-up. Oh before I forget, I have everyone announce their pole names before the party, and help them choose one if they don’t have one. That really gets them going and helps set the mood for the party.

True about the rhinestones falling out. I only wear them when leading parties or for special performances (once/wk, for one hr). They are NOT my work horse shoes. I replace them with crazy glue when they fall out. My instructor let me in on a secret; when one falls out & she doesn’t have a replacement she refills them with silver or gold sparkly glitter fabric paint. You can’t tell from a distance, I assure you, cuz they still sparkle. Thanks for the heads up on the closed toe shoes, I’ve always wondered how they would fit (size wise). Have you ever been crafty with your own pair of shoes, like create a pair of glitter heels?

I HEART dancing in heels. Period. So any shoes I have are my faves. Currently I have 6 pairs of shoes, and I have tried an additional 3 other pairs. I have tried 8 pairs of Pleasers, and 1 pair of Ellie. I spend about 5hrs/wk pole dancing, and about 3 of those hrs in shoes. My shoes have ranged from 6.5in platforms (too short) to 8in platforms (takes some getting used to). I wear a US size 10 normally. Although my toes peek out when I start dancing, a size 11 is too big I discovered. So: the Ellie pair broke within 2-3 wks, will never buy from them again. Bought a pair of red platforms from Pleaser Funtasm line (they are costume shoes), poked a hole in them with the other heel. Will not buy Funtasm ever again.
My fave Pleasers (purple open platform with embedded crystals-similar to the black one in the pic attached), I wore for 6-7 months straight before I retired them. They still look good, but I can see the top vamp beginning to pull from the sides due to extreme wear. 7in heels are my sweet spot. My 8in heels are so heavy (because I have the ones with red roses in them so the platform isn’t really hollowed out?), and they have double straps, but no ankle strap. The straps tend to loosen and you have to be careful, b/c they might come off during flight! I like the platform Pleaser shoes with the clear vamp and ankle strap the best. But I also love my bling, as you can see in the pic.
