The ice trick

OK, so you will need some ice...duh.

As you are dancin' for your man, make sure he has a drink filled with ice next to him as you dance. Then reach in and grab a piece. Squeeze it hard in your hand. As you are lap dancing (make sure to be in Pole Position on this one) lean back and squeeze your hand over your nipple so that water drips onto your breast, right above your nipple. Point your elbow in the sky so that the water runs from your finger tips. Once it starts, it will drip pretty quickly. Put the ice cube on your nipple and roll it around a few times then lean back and drag it across to the other nipple. Then you have two options...

1. Put it in your mouth , then lean in to kiss him and put it into his mouth.

or

2. Lean over him in Pole Position, so that the water will drip into his mouth, from your nipple. You can even say "open wide."

Trust me. He will looove this one

BASIC MOVES INTRO CLASS..tomorrow (Sat 6/27)

BASIC MOVES INTRO CLASS
How long have you been waiting? You have been wanting to take a striptease class, but you have been too nervous, too busy, too full of excuses! Now is the time ladies. Our Basic Moves Intro class is tons of fun! The moves are basic, yet very spicy. We give you the tools to drop any lover's jaw!

WHAT IS IT?
It is a class of up to 12 women, where you learn the basics of exotic dance. The room has a large mirror, but is private so there are no spectators. There is one instructor and everyone participates. The class lasts 2 hours. It is open to all levels and any age (over 18). No dance experience is necessary.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
We start with a few basic moves that show you how to move your hips and hands. Then we go over eye contact and a few tricks to help you exude sexiness and confidence. We cover a bit of the ever popular lap dance (using empty chairs) from how to position your lover and yourself, to the rules of contact, to moves that will leave them begging for more. We go over moves that you do facing your audience, whether that is your lover or simply your own mirror, as well as moves done with your back turned to increase the anticipation. We also cover how to remove your lingerie slowly and seductively. You will also get a cheat sheet that covers all of the moves that you learn.

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
Do you want to feel more sexy, more confident, laugh, move your body, and learn something that every woman is secretly dying to learn? If your answer is YES, then you are in the right spot! This class is perfect for all ages, sizes, and shapes of women with a little, a lot, or even no dance experience. Everyone starts on an even playing field. We have taught all women from 18 to 68, size 2 to size 20, Sunday school teachers, CEOs, professional dancers, and those who have never hit the dance floor. The class is small so you get individual attention and feel at ease with the group that you are in. Also, we understand that everyone coming into a class like this is nervous and we strive to make everyone feel comfortable and protected. And the routine can be done for a lover or just for yourself to reconnect with the inner sexiness that you have inside.

WHAT DO I BRING?
A pair of high heels, an extra bra, and an open mind.

HOW DO I SIGN UP?

Lap dancing in the club vs. lap dancing at home.

So, as you know I was a dancer for a decade. In that time, I only did a handful of bachelor parties, most of my work was at an actual club. Now, I teach women how to dance for their man in their own homes/hotels etc. Knowing that this would be different we did some research in the beginning on how dances would translate when you were using a couch, arm chair, bed etc. But this was 2 girls doing research. It wasn't 2 lovers experimenting. And recently I just realized it really is sooo much easier in a club.

You see I just had the opportunity to do an in-home dance for a guy, and it was much harder than I thought. I was trying to think of the last time I danced for a guy outside of work and I believe it was about 10 yrs ago. Most of the guys I dated actually went to see me work in the club and had dances there. And after I retired, I was mainly with one person who had seen me dance a million times, so it just wasn't something I did for him. And the other guys I dated, well, I didn't offer and they didn't ask. But recently the guy I'm seeing asked me to dance for him. My first thought was oh shit, I am so out of practice! Dancing in a studio or teaching a woman how to dance is much different that performing. Especially when you really like the person.



The first time was very short but the last time there was an actual full song or 2. In those few songs I learned a thing or two. First of all, I tell all you gals that carpet is bad, and I fully stand by that. It is sooo hard to balance in the stripper shoes on carpet. Secondly, in the club every chair is the same, so it is easy to maneuver your props, like the extra chair, the table etc. You know exactly how to lean, where to prop up your foot, etc. So here is some advice. If you are really planning to dance for your man, try to do a dress rehearsal with your best girlfriend. Let her sit where he would sit so you can experience what it really is like. Preparation really is key, from where you dance, to costume, to music. It really does make a difference. Mine was impromptu, but I know I could have rocked it better with a little prep. I also stand by the fact that arm chairs are the best, but a couch is ok if that is your only option. And my God, it is really hard to make him keep his hands to himself. Dammit! In the club it is easy as pie, they will get kicked out if they touch you, but in the privacy of your own bedroom, there are no bouncers, and you want him to touch you. So yeah, by far the hardest thing. We have mentioned tying up your man to do your dance. This might actually be a really good option. But I have to say, it was much hotter, for me anyway, than any dance I ever did in the club for someone I was seeing.



So, the dance was very steamy and definitely a turn on, for both of us. In class I always say, "And the last thing you do, at the end of your dance is....have hot sex!" And yeah, I still stand by that.. 100%.

How to perform a striptease ...our article. Section C of PART I

Step two: Harness your confidence, or at least the look of it.

Gentleman’s clubs always advertise a bevy of top notch, Playboy quality beauties for your carnal pleasure. However, the truth is that they are not all Barbie doll babes. They can be extremely short, very tall, sport double Gs, or be flat chested. They can be too thin or quite chunky. I have seen a shaved head dancing next to Portia De Rossi hair. Some wear more makeup than Tammy Faye, and some have never used mascara in their life. But they all make money. So who makes the most? It is not always the prettiest girl with the perfect C cup. It also is not the girl who dances a little closer than she should in the VIP room. Time and time again, the girl who leaves with the fattest wad of bills is the girl who exudes the most confidence through out the night, be it on stage or on the floor. Whether it is a put on or sincere, confidence is a must. At first, for you, it probably will not be genuine. After all, it can be a daunting experience to stand in front of your man and put on a sexy show. It is natural to be nervous, but you must put on an act. Every exotic dancer has something that they feel completely self conscious about, but they fake it and push onward! So, how do you achieve this false confidence when all you can think about is your exposed cellulite, falling in your heels, and whether or not he is going to laugh or cry? Your first step is to practice, practice, practice. I will say it again, it is imperative that everything is this little guide be practiced. Strippers are not born; they are made through 8 hours a night, 4 days a week of on the job training. Trust me, every veteran in the bar can spot a new girl a mile away. Just keep that in the back of your mind.
To achieve the look of confidence, a constant smile is paramount. Not the beauty queen smile, but the, I have a naughty little secret smile. Smile a devious smile like the Elvis grin that made the world week in the knees. Now, tilt your head down slightly, and lift your eyes. You are now in predator mode, and he is most definitely the prey. Mimic the Sahara lion stalking her prey in the tall grass, moving deliberately. You are in control of this show, this ride, this moment. Then you must find your mantra. This is something you will repeat over and over inside your head. It should pull your focus inward and make you feel powerful. Repeat, “He wants me. He is so hot for me, I could just stand here and he would pop a woody.” Sound stuck up? Good! Remember, selfish stripper! By doing this you are oozing confidence and finding your power. Next, look at him and narrow your eyes a la Paris Hilton. Imagine yourself as Medusa or a powerful sorceress, and your gaze is what keeps the spell alive, intact. Practice this face in the mirror. Just like models practice their look in a mirror, so should you, until it becomes easy and natural. Do it while you put on your make up in the morning.
