Was it Klimt who said- if there are no naked women walking about my studio- I can't paint.
A couple of weeks ago , for what ever reason the pretty Barbie who teaches pilates, picked me out of her many hordes of women and said ah You should stay and watch the next class- when pilates ends. What was I to stay and watch? More streching? .. However, at the next class the movement of the teacher was unusually sensual, the excercises too where all sensual, swing your head and flick your hair, move your spine like a cat with the bum in the air .. And than there was the pole. There they got my interest.
Pole dance to me- is the erotic dance of the century. Once before we where borne - balet believe it or not was the seductive dance- there was the Can can-- and milons of other dances. To me pole dance is the discovery of the decade. The nights I painted dancers last summer where I realise only the beginning.
In some way the class demystified the beautiful dancers from the night club a little. I had expirenced them all as gorgeous ,esoteric, magnetising- but actualy there are a number of specific moves which can be taught-learned- which are classics- how to use the pole moves-which once you learn, make you look amazing and which you can incooportate into freestyle.
That is to say I was shocked at the ordinary women in the class- in sport clothes , moving so well. The excercises where terribley difficult. Not always to understand- as to execute. The whole of pole dance elegance is based on the fact that a woman can hold the entire weight of ther body on her hands- for long enough to hold the body in the air-swing it elegantly and to land softly. I was embaressingley unable to do most of these moves at the first class- but I was hooked.
Thrid class on- I can do some of the moves- the others I forget the second I stop working at them. And than I discovered that the rest of the group have been learning since November..Pheew- I'm not so bad after all. And I haven't attended a dancing class since university.
What will those students, girlfriends, moms which the class is made up of do with the knowledge of dancing around the pole? Well the men in their lives certainly will benefit.. Learning these sensual secrets deffinaltey are a investment in ones love life- and will cheer up a husband, boyfriend or get a desired mans attention. Other than that there is a certain self assurance that develops in most the women learning the tricks of the professionals.. And as for the body benefits- least say that all the dancers have amasing bodies- in the summer after they spend a few months dancing- yet even these dancers in winter start- shaped like most normal women having eaten tons at christmass and having gained the winter weight.. I was happy to disover this- because it means its not only perfect sporty things who can do this dance- but any girl who decides- and it will help shape the body for the better. .
Imagine my delight when after more than half a year since going to the club to paint dancers- two weeks into my dance school, I got invited to the club last night by the very queen , of the tribe of gorgeous exotic dancers. I was thrilled.
I brought along a friend who has wanted to see and try the pole dance for years- and who like most is in fear of the extortionate prices in night clubs, which under the patronage of the tribal queen we had not to fear.
We watched a few dancers do their thing, it was still earley evening, they where still quite groggy..
And than the trible queen entered the stage.
She had an audience, she danced for us, and she was beautiful , and my pole dance freshman- was addicted instanltey.
Watching the tribal queen dance- would make any woman want to dance.
The tribal queen to our delight brought two pairs of high heels for us to wear- and shoved us a few moves.
There where no clients at that point of the evening, stage was free, the dark was enough protection, so- we danced.
What a difference is to dance in a class with bright lights in hot pants and socks or to dance in a club in exceedingly high heels..
The feeling is amasing. The dark, the music, the shoes, and you find your self flying as if in a dream..
