How to choreograph a pole dance routine: Overcome the 3 biggest challenges

25. February 2022 by Miglena

I have a VIDEO for you on how to choreograph a pole routine. ↓

But first a quick story.

I’m sitting at my desk – working and listening to music. 🎵

It’s that song again. The one that makes me want to get up and dance.

I start „seeing“ this beautiful dance in my mind… 

Flying in the air, spinning around, dancing on the floor. 
Moving with power, fluidity and grace.

It’s a masterpiece! 
💡✨

„I have to do this. I have to create a choreo to this song.“

And… suddenly I’m out of ideas on how to approach this.

How do I start?
How do I choose the moves?
How do I come up with cool transitions?
How do I match the music?


My dream seems less and less realistic.

 – – –

This is a real story from a student (and a friend) of mine from a while ago.

I was nodding all the time while listening because I was experiencing exactly the same. 

Even today, I still drift into unrealistic dreams about how I’ll create the MOST AWESOME choreo in the world. Haha

Then I put aside the high stakes and remind myself that…

  • Every choreo is different. 
  • Every choreo is a valuable experience. 
  • The best choreo is ahead of me.

Choreographing has been on my list of topics to cover and talk about since I created The Pole Dancer. 

But I’ve been hesitant to dive deep into teaching others how to choreograph, because I didn’t feel ready. 
Isn’t it too individual?
Would it work for everyone? …

Well, I’ve been choreographing EVERY WEEK for the last 7 years. I can’t count how many choreos I’ve created so far. 

And even though each one of them is different and part of the process may be individual, there are common best-practices that make approaching it easier.

In this video, I give advice on overcoming the top 3 challenges when choreographing a pole routine:
02:03 How do I start?
05:18 How do I choose moves and transitions?
10:40 How do I make it flow and match the music?

Have you choreographed before?
