Adventure #1

I had my first new adventure on Friday.  Two of my best friends joined me for our Pole Dancing class.  I must say going into the class was a bit intimidating at first. You walk into the Orchard Room and it's surrounded in mirrors with beautiful, brightly colored orchards painted on the walk and FIVE poles!  Our instructor comes in in her Halloween "dancing" clothes in 5 inch stilettos.  Her name was Barbie.   Barbie was very encouraging and wanted us to work it and sex it up.  She was like the less clothes the better, so she encouraged us to strip if the feeling hit.  We warmed up with stretches on the pole...moved into squats, dancing, working the hips, stirring the pot.  My hips really don't move like that, but I tried everything.  We learned basic pole moves.  Curling our bodies up and down the pole.  And we learned spins. I was an under achiever at the spins, because I got scared,but I eventually got it down. Kim R. However, could work that pole. Those gymnastics has paid off.  It was a great night.  I'm so happy I got to experience this first adventure with two of my best friends.  I have an entirely new respect for Pole Dancers now. My whole body is sore.  You have to be extremely in shape to do half of those moves.  And you need to have great upper body strength and lower abs. It is something I'll definitely do again.  Maybe take Barbie's Santa land workshop.  Clothes did come off...not ours, but I'll wear something different next time...I have bruises all up in down my legs...Poles are definitely dangerous...but FUN!  If you ever go out, be sure to really tip your dancer ;)
