What Makes a Good Power Pole Dance Song?

This type of music is typically very dynamic, and sometimes a little unpredictable, allowing you to really showcase timing, strength, and momentum. Think precision, power and control under pressure. 

Here are some key elements that make a song ideal for power pole dancing:

• A strong beat & consistent rhythm — together, these help you time your spins, tricks and transitions, which often come in quick succession when you're power poling.  A powerful, consistent beat also helps maintain the energy that's such an important part of this type of pole dancing music. But while a consistent rhythm is common (and very helpful if you're new to power pole), many power pole songs also incorporate... 

• Dynamic changes and crescendos — songs with dynamic shifts inspire more variety in your choreography, making the performance more engaging. When your music changes tempo, or builds and then drops, this is a golden opportunity to give your audience something unexpected, adding to the impact of the power pole style of dancing.

• Defined accents — while related to both of the above points, musical accents that are very clearly defined are ideal specifically for helping you hit your tricks cleanly on the beat. A strong and consistent rhythm helps with timing and energy, dynamic musical changes present opportunities for unique choreography, and defined accents add impact to your tricks. A song with all three components is the triple threat of power pole.

• Energetic and uplifting — music that makes you feel unstoppable and energized is perfect for power routines, and it'll also give you that extra boost to get you through a tough conditioning session. Your Pole Pal's rule of thumb here is if you can't NOT move when a particular song is playing, you've found your personal power pole song!

• Inspirational and empowering lyrics — lyrics that speak to you on a personal level help you connect to the music in a very powerful way, which in turn feeds your energy. The result is an extra confidence boost in your dancing that will definitely shine through. And confidence is the magic ingredient that will make your power pole routine look effortless (even though it's definitely not!)

In short, a good power pole dance song is all about energy, rhythm, and inspiration that helps you deliver strong, dynamic movements. Whether you're choreographing a high-energy performance piece, freestyling to burn off stress, or trying to stay motivated while doing strength training, power pole songs are just the ticket.

Tips for Dancing to Power Pole Dance Songs

Power pole isn’t just about harder tricks or faster transitions between moves—it’s about using the high-energy of this style of music to support a powerful choreography. Here are some suggestions to help you make the most of your power pole sessions:

• Train timing, not just strength
  While there's no question that physical strength is a requirement for pushing out power pole tricks, timing those tricks on the beat is your secret sauce. Precision timing gives the illusion that you're controlling the music through your choreography, which is a huge part of the power in power pole dance. If you drill your timing as much as you drill your tricks and combos, you'll see results in a tighter and more powerful performance.

• Use the music to pace your combos
  Especially if you're working with a piece of music with the kinds of dynamic changes and strongly defined accents discussed above, you'll want to use those to your advantage. Try letting the rhythm guide the type and speed of your transitions between tricks. And when building your combos, pay attention to what the music is telling you in terms of which tricks flow together, how quickly to move through them, and when to pause for dramatic effect. 

• Don’t rush between elements
  Even though we're focused on heavy beats and high energy to generate a powerful routine, keep in mind that strong movement still needs control and definition. So even though the tempo of power pole dance songs is typically faster than say, exotic style pole music, it's important to keep that emphasis on nailing your timing, showcasing strength, and maintaining that sense of control under pressure. 

• Work in short, repeatable sequences
  The energy output required when training with a power pole dance song means that it's easy to get sloppy as you tire. Instead of pushing yourself to make it through the entire song when you're starting out, try looping one or more short sections of a song and repeating just that part. Not only will this practice increase your confidence in your moves and your choreography, it will also help you build consistency through repetition. 

• Match your music to your current abilities 
  Power pole dance songs don't have to be fast. In fact, if the music is too fast, your technique may suffer, especially if you're trying to incorporate tricks that you've only recently learned. And if you're having a low-energy day, go for a slower tempo song, whether that's a relatively slow power pole song, or something from another style that better suits your energy and mood.
