If you can set aside this sort of thing, you're really better off without it. The music is raucous and people tend to be mad, especially most men and boys.

Hi im 17 years old and I only started pole dancing. Im not too flexible but flexible enough. I was wondering is there any tips or good video routine for me to get really good at it at the right pace? and how do I stop the pole from getting sweaty after 10 minutes, I then can no longer use it :( and Is it normal when trying to use your legs to balance on the pole to really hurt and burn. How do I manage to stop the pain with my legs and learn how to balance properly? I just really want to become quite talented at it as fast as possible while taking my time and not to rush into it.

Why did no girl want to dance with me at homecoming?

I'm 14, male, and I went to my first homecoming with a group of friends last night. Everyone got older girls that they didn't even know grinding all over them but I didn't. I mean, I'm not the best looking but not the worst either. I keep my hygiene really good (deodorant cologne hair products etc.) and nicer than most guys at my school, but yet no one wanted to dance with me, and I felt awkward just sitting on the sidelines the whole time. I talked to girls but it just never happened. Any tips?

I'm probably going to go to the homecoming dance at my school, it's in about a week. I'm a guy and I can't dance at all and I don't want to feel awkward at the dance. Any tips?

I've heard that homecomings at our school are basically just all grinding and its dark. Any advice for what to do or how to not to feel awkward and have a good time, would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!

I was about to tell you to consider forgetting it until I saw your "p.s." which makes ALL the difference in the world. Many male professional ballet dancers didn't take their first class until 14 and even though you have been out, you have had training. While it wont be easy, if you really want this, then go for it. It is not undoable. Especially if you were born with the body, facility and musicality required for a dance career along with the fire in your belly for it. Gifted, well trained male dancers have so much more opportunity for work than females as there are so many less of you out there. If ballet doesn't work out for you, there is also concert contemporary dance and no doubt you can get a scholarship being male to a good college conservatory program.
You have to search your heart and see if you want to make the sacrifices required or not. While there are no guarantees for success, the possibility is still out there.
