Pole dancing... for beginners

Last night, 14 of us took pole dancing class together in honor of Nikki's birthday. Frankly, I am surprised that she needs lessons. Ms. Sparkly seems like a natural to me.

We started with learning the basics. Really, being comfortable with the pole, and what to do whether if you are near one or not... touch yourself in a sensuous manner of course. After we see the demo, we practice in front of the group.

Truthfully, its a bit awkward touching yourself in a seductive manner in front of a group of albeit females, but mostly people I don't know. Me thinks some libation would have helped the cause. I guess I am just not as comfortable as the others. One girl even took off her top during warm up. We were all like, what happened.

My favorite move has to be the 3-step spin (see the pix for the demo). The 2-step and I just don't agree. I just slid right down the pole during a practice run. Its hard work, as some of us came to realize last night.

All in all, a good night of fun. Its a great opportunity to spend time with your girlfriends. Although we are not experienced or a natural born pole dancer, its still pretty cool to try out something new. I believe we are looking for a lesson refresh, no?
