Exotic Dance Class - What a FANTASTIC experience

Well, I went to my first exotic dance class. All I can say is...IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! Better than I could possibly have imagined. Actually, not simply "better than"...it totally exceeded my wildest expectations.

Bobbi of Bobbi's Pole Studio in Sydney, was my teacher. She was wonderful. Totally cool and relaxed about having her first crossdresser as a student. And a lovely person. That, and her expert teaching made it a great experience.

Picture me...5'11", late-40's, too much fat around the mid-rif, in a pink camisole T-top, pinkish hot pants and pink high heeled sandals, but with my normal "bloke face"; doing hip lifts, hip rotates and attempting sexy feminine arm movements as I strutted the new very very sexy walk Bobbi had taught me. And this contrasted in the full length mirrors with the beautiful Bobbi who has the most amazing dancer's body.

Let's just say that I have a looooooong way to go before I could emulate Bobbi's movements. Well actually, I'll never be able to emulate her, but I'm going to perservere by practicing and going for more classes. I just loved it so much, even if the illusion of being a sexy woman was somewhat shattered (and yes, I can laugh about my illusions) by what I saw of myself in the mirror.
But this "girl" is going to train and train until I am at least half sexy as an exotic dancer.

And as a bonus it was a fantastic workout. I haven't worked up such a sweat for years. It's better than my weekly 20km run. And I felt muscles being exercised that I didn't even know existed. So I now have a whole additional exercise plan, which will not only tighten my butt and strengthen my abs and thighs...but it will also make me look ever so sexy. Ha! What more can a girl want!

I have a whole new respect for dancers and showgirls. While the sweat was poring down my body...and I am fit, I run a half-marathon every week...Bobbi didn't raise the slightest bit of perspiration. Talk about being super fit.
And those hip movements! I don't know whether it's just me or whether it's a male thing, but those hip movements are not easy. In fact they are DAMN DIFFICULT. It looks so natural and easy when Bobbi does it, but when I try the muscles just won't let my body move smoothly. And once the brain tries to intervene, well then it all goes haywire.

Girls, if you are comfortable enough with who you are and with your body image to cope with the contrast between your "girl" looks and Bobbi's, then I suggest you go and do some exotic dance classes...it's the best. Who knows, Bobbi may even start a "tranny class"...that's a joke Bobbi.

So where do you go? Well if you're in Sydney, Bobbi's Pole Studio in Castlereagh Street is the place. Check it out on www.bobbispolestudio.com.au .
