Skirt The Issue
Have you ever had a problem you simply couldn’t bear to face today? Or maybe even tomorrow? Just the thought of accepting that the problem exists makes you shudder and shake? Don’t beat yourself up because you aren’t dealing with it right this second. Skirt the issue until you are ready to resolve it. And I don’t mean ignore it completely! Tonight, wear a soft skirt and give yourself permission to dance around your problem (and your pole). Ignore the problem (and your pole) when you want to. Or shake it when you need to. Climb it. Kick it. Twirl around and around it. Float toward it as if some…

Sensuality is an Art
1. Sensuality is both the Mystery and the Discovery. It’s the power of almost... To almost touch, to almost kiss, to almost finish him off. It’s the power to tease with the promise of complete fulfillment... but only when YOU are ready. 2. You choose Sensuality as much as Sensuality chooses you. 3. Sensuality can’t be overpowered by anger, sadness, joy or fear because it takes these emotions and gives you the ability to feel them throughout every inch of your skin. Consider this phenomenal gift... The feeling of life within your body. Pain or Pleasure doesn’t matter when it means you are really, truly, finally ALIVE. Sensuality is how…

Don’t Apologize for Pole Dancing
I don’t apologize for pole dancing. I don’t apologize for drinking green tea or choosing to eat sushi instead of a hamburger. I don’t apologize for enjoying R rated movies or doing the splits at the gym. I definitely don’t apologize for enjoying sex as often as I feel like it either. So if the world thinks I’m going to apologize for dancing around my living room with a shiny metal pole while wearing a bikini top and an itty bitty teeny tiny skirt.... Then the world should think again.

Get Rid of Shyness & Dance with Confidence
Is your dancing inhibited? Do you get anxious when performing in front of a group, even in your pole class? Are you afraid to dance for you lover? Are you afraid to dance in front the mirror? Make A Wish You’re not alone. Many of my beginner students are afraid to let go of their inhibitions and express their sensual nature through movement. And one of my readers recently asked “I was wondering if you had any advise on getting over the whole embarrassing/shy thing.” Happily, overcoming your performance anxiety is absolutely possible for everyone. And the best part is that, the confidence you gain while dancing will propagate into…

Permission to Wander
A Personal Story When I was in high school, my friends and I used to pile into the car on Friday nights and deliberately try to get lost. We would simply choose a freeway, drive until we didn’t recognize any of the street names, and then get off at a random exit. Then we’d either drive around some dark small town telling ghost stories or try to figure out why people were always moving their sofas in the middle of the night. (I swear we saw somebody moving furniture at least once a month) Eventually we’d stop at a well-lit greasy spoon for a midnight snack and ask around for…

Small Steps to Success
Whenever we are learning something new, many of us have a tendency to get frustrated and disappointed if we don’t get perfect execution within the first few attempts. Not only that, sometimes we don’t give ourselves the chance to celebrate our own small successes because we’re too busy looking toward mastery of that next difficult trick. We try to jump across the river before checking if the current is too swift or if the river bank is too wide. Approach with Curiosity But what if we took a minute to enjoy the beauty of the river, respect and learn about its surroundings, and consider that we could build a way…
