This Week at the LA Studio

Level 1: It's time to add exquisitely explosive "accents" to your movement! You'll toss your hair and throw your hips, releasing every ounce of built up energy you've got trapped in your bod. You'll revisit the "Ballerina" pole trick and go out on the prowl with the "Wild Cat Crawl." Get your wild thang on! *Next Week: "Top-Off Strip" ~ the ultimate tease.

Level 2: Women, it's time for the courageously curvy "Bottoms Off Strip"! This technique is tantalizingly playful. If you're feeling modest, then by all means bring layers. It's not about how much you reveal it's about how you reveal it. Sloowwwww and easy is the way we're gonna uncloak our superbly voluptuous figures. You'll also engage all the arm and core muscles you've been building, as you try the new "Corkscrew" pole trick. Keep bringing in your music. It's sooo important to personalize your journey with music that makes you YOU!

Level 3: Motorcycle boots, fluffy slippers, fashionista pumps or high-top sneaks, anything goes for the "Street Shoe/Boot Strip." Bring footwear to class that evokes a particular emotion or attitude and be astounded by how your emerging Erotic Creature responds. Heck, go all out by bringing music and play clothes to match! Your curves are hungry for whimsical adventures so don't censor yourself. On the pole, you'll balance out your upper body muscle memory with the opposite "Snake"!

Level 4: Mmmmhmmm, it's time to unleash your inner "Bombshell"! Your assignment this week is to bring in your favorite "bombshell" piece of clothing right out of your closet. Bombshells demand attention and have curves for days. There's one inside each and every one of you, so in your dance this week, unchain her and see what happens. Bring in something sensational, hot and unapologetic to take ownership of your natural born sex appeal. Add your choice of scintillatingly hot music!

Level 5/7: Welcome to Fantasy Island! This week's assignment is "Island Girl." Are you yearning for white sand beaches, turquoise lagoons and palm trees swaying in a tropical ocean breeze? Well, dive into island living with sarongs, leis, coconut shell bikini tops and Reggae. But don't forget about our cool island friends like Ireland and Iceland! Kilts and sweaters, hmmmmm... Whether North Atlantic or South Pacific, embrace the culture, clothes and music from your own personal paradise. Also, whip up a "Corkscrew/Leg Splay/Split" or "Flying Body Spiral/Ballerina" combo. Deepen the emotional connection your body has with the pole as you fly, really fly into your own unscripted polework.


I am sitting in a business meeting and there’s a man, Alex, talking about "G and P’s" and "A and L’s" and he’s spewing out all kinds of letters in business jargon shorthand as if I’m supposed to know what he’s talking about and I’m just about to lose my mind cause all I can think about is how his horizontally striped, red tie doesn’t go with his oversized blue suit. He’s a nice gentleman, I mean no disrespect it’s just, I don’t understand why he can’t speak descriptively about what he’s trying to say to me. What exactly is a "G" and an "A"? These linear thoughts need to be dressed up in some woman-speak to make the business world a whole lot more colorful and fun, fun, fun. The more that women assert their female perspectives into what has been a male-dominated world...well...what a wonderful world it will be. So, not trying to be rude, I said to the room of three women and five men, “Does anybody want to go in the studio, do some mean hip circles to loosen up, and come back to the presentation all refreshed?” They looked over at me as if I were crazy (I get that a lot), took a solid three-second beat, laughed a little and then went back to the hum drum of mindless, non-personality business speak. Ah ha, the gauntlet has been thrown down, we are on a mission now!
