Lap Dance Class
I took my first lap dance class last week and it was...
AWESOME!
I'm taking the three week Lap Dance short course rather than a level Pole Dancing six week course because I'm still not allowed on the pole with my elbow issue.
I'll probably need to remain off pole for another three months or so. When I stuff up, I stuff up good.
Anyway, back to the Lap Dance class.
There are ten of us enrolled with about half not having done a Lap Class before.
Our instructor is Tara, a petite, gorgeous, buxom, blonde stunner who can moooove. Which is what you want.
I love that she is so comfortable with her body, moving it in suggestive ways, and teaching how to do the moves comfortably as well. There's no awkwardness and it just embraces the group.
Though I am incredibly at ease with my body, moving suggestively in front of others, and even touching myself, I understand that some might find it challenging, particularly those newer to pole dancing.
It's not like we are a group of women who hang out together all the time so we know each other intimately, but we are united and bonded in our enjoyment of Pole Dancing.
One thing I guarantee Pole Dancing will give you if you don't already have it, is confidence in your body. So really there wasn't any timidity, shyness, or even awkwardness about moving suggestively and sexily in front of each other.
As Lap Dance is a sexually suggestive and teasing dance you do for someone else, we are partnered to dance... WITH CHAIRS. Our chair is the substitute for whomever we would like to perform this dance to. Some people have gone with Channing Tatum as their chair, not me. Of course my chair is Zac Efron *moan*
Any excuse to get a pic of Zac E in my blog *sigh*
Oh now I'm being distracted by Zac. Oh my!
We are learning the routine to an edited version of the song Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi. I must be one of the few people who didn't get into it in the 80's. I don't mind it now, well I'm dancing to it alright I think.
Some of the moves we are doing to drive our chairs crazy with lust include body rolls, floor crawls, hair flicks, upper body rolls, boob thrusts and rubs, hip swivels, and so much grinding my bum bones will be glad when the chair and I split up and no longer dance lustfully together.
It's a great workout though. I really feel it in my abs, ribs, bum, shoulders and neck. And I do get a bit sweaty. Hey, there's lots to remember, coordinate, and be all sexy like, of course it works up a sweat.
We did a practice on each other last week, lesson two, which was hilarious. While trying to grind on my partner D, sitting on her lap my feet barely touching the ground on my tippy toes (I am stumpy) somehow I managed to hurl myself off her lap. I'm just so grateful she caught me. And I'm so grateful polers rarely get embarrassed, after all I was trying to grind on her lap, count out the pace, remember the choreo, and all things technical that no one think of when doing a dance.
Next week is lesson three and the last one for this Lap Dance short course. I have absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. I find myself running through some of the moves, in a discrete way, while waiting for the kids at their respective schools or sporting events... not been busted or questioned about "what the hell are you doing" yet.
I hope next term there is another option for a lap dance or off pole/minimal pole option so poor, pathetic, injured me can still dance a bit dirty, hang out with my Poling girls and continue enjoying my wonderful pole dancing life.
