I went to see Sazzle yesterday for her birthday barbecue. It is always so great seeing her. But before the party, she took me to pole dancing lessons! Pole. Dancing. Lessons.
It wasn't what I expected at all! It had nothing to do with dancing or dancing dirty with the pole. It had everything to do with strength and coordination. It was HARD! Hard hard hard! I had no idea what I was doing half the time and the difficulty of it all really doesn't make any of it feel sexy. My favourite moves were the spinning ones. The back spin in particular. I don't like going upside down and you are concentrating so hard on doing things right that you don't even hear the music!
I am SORE all over. My arms are dead, my tummy is sore and the insides of my thighs are really tender. I have a new found respect for pole dancers. That is hard work! =) And I thought all I had to do was dance sexy with the pole! Yeesh!
