Burning Bowl Ceremony

December 31, 2009

I want to share another tradition that is very important to me as the new year is approaching.  It is another cleansing process called the Burning Bowl Ceremony.  Don’t worry… if the “burning” part of it sounds too complicated or intense, you can do a modified version that is just as powerful and healing.

The Process

Year End Release Dance

December 31, 2009

As 2009 comes to close, I want to share with you a tradition that I started once I got my first dance pole.  The coming new year signifies a fresh start.  And what a great time to get rid of all the … well… crap (for lack of a better word) from the year that is [...]

December 30, 2009

Welcome back!  In Part 1, we discussed the different places where you could learn in a studio type setting.  Perhaps you are a homebody who has to be pulled out of the house kicking and screaming.  Perhaps you are embarrassed to try pole dancing around other people.  Perhaps you are more of a “do it yourself” [...]

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate!  As I’m sitting here listening to the last remnants of Christmas music on the radio, I wanted to take a moment to reflect back on why I think the holiday season is so important.

Have you been wanting to do something of your own on the internet?  Maybe start a blog, create a product, or post some videos to YouTube?  If so, what’s stopping you?
I know for me it was fear.  You know… the usual.  “What if people don’t like me?”  “What if the stuff I think is important [...]

Another Kind of Dance…

December 22, 2009

I am a lover of all forms of dance.  Sure, pole dancing is my favorite in many ways, but who am I to disclude all the other beautiful and enticing forms of movement?  Today I want to talk about a different kind of dancing…

What Music "Moves" You?

December 22, 2009

One of the most important things in a pole dancing session is to find music that “moves” you.  By that, I mean music that moves through you and breathes life into your dancing.  I mean music that literally moves you.

Inspiration – Has She Wandered Off Again?

December 21, 2009

 
Some people wait for inspiration or to be “in the mood” before they get up to have a pole dancing session.  If this is you (ahem, I know this from experience), there is a good chance you could sit on your rear forever waiting for the right moment to strike.
