19/365 Home away from home

A little over 2 years ago one of my close friends asked me if I would please please please do a beginners pole dancing course with her. I giggled and feigned disinterest but finally said yes. And the rest is history. Classes are a big part of my life now so its only fitting that they feature somewhat in my 365 project.

Look I know many people don't understand it - my grandmother being one although she tries her best - but I love pole dancing, live for it even. I could try to write down all of the reasons I love it, try to minimise whatever taboo nature you may or may not see within it, explain how 'empowering' or 'liberating' it can be - because it is - there is just something about being given permission to go somewhere, strip down to what could sometimes generously be described as underwear and dance in whatever fashion you happen to be in the mood for that day without expecting any repercussions. I could talk about how great a work out it is, how marvellous it can be for your core strength. I could make a whole heap of arguments to justify and defend this hobby I've become so addicted too... but thats not really the point anymore.

It's just fun. I can be sexy or silly like a monkey or a superwoman, a gymnast, a whore, a nurse (but not a naughty school girl because apparently much of the eroticism is lost when you actually look like you might well be underage...), uncoordinated, graceful and serious.

And its all just a bit of fun :)
