Pole Dancing Grip Help


Ok, so recently I went to try out a pole dancing class @ Crunch Gym. Just to see.... WOW! I was amazed at how many tricks they were trying to get girls with no experience to do. No spotters and no mats! ...But that is a different story.

What blew my mind was this stuff the instructor put in my hands. My first thought was that it was alcohol gel. The truth is, the pole needs to stay oil and lotion free. It makes anything, even holding on to lean back, difficult. I have seen more new girls pulled off second stage by a veteran dancer who climbs up on main stage to find an oil slick on the pole. Its like who is the fuck is wearing oil??!! So then your whole 2 songs are ruined because you cant even touch the pole. So you finish your set, proceed over to stage 2 where you know its Exxon Valdez all over again, politely grab her arm and say, Look honey, you cant grease up your body then rub all over the pole... its disgusting. Please get a towel and wipe it off (when you want to say bitch, wipe off your nasty crud).
Yes, I myself have gone off on a new girl or two. I mean its common knowledge. If your hands are so greasy you cant even grab the pole do you really think anyone else can? Sometimes they would bathe, I mean bathe in oil and then do floor moves and the next girl on stage almost falls down before she even gets to the pole!

But to my surprise this was not alcohol gel ...it was like this super antiperspirant. It helped to grip the pole alright. I couldn't believe it. I thought, well hell, this is cheating! Back in my day you just rubbed your hands on the floor to pick up a little dust. My, this is quite the improvement. But I still can't help but think it is cheating.
Here are a few I found.


BTW, if anyone want to check out the class @ crunch, I'll tag along. Fun stuff.

Wow that's interesting!!! Sounds like something I might need when and if I do the pole thing. I want go check out the pole dance @ crunch but do you have to already know what you're doing? Need upper body strength? Is it advanced, like do they climb way up on the pole?...We should get our pals from 1A to go for fun lol :-)
