I Love Shoes!!!!

Please wait

Image not available

It seems my shoe addiction has been at it's worst this month,
I have already bought 3 pairs of new shoes this february &
wondering why I'm so skint!!


Thought I would share my recent purchases & bargains!!


My first purchase this month was a gorgeous pair of pole
dancing shoes, I have another pair (my favourite) much
higher than these & thought the lower heel would be
more appropriate for perfomances & practising.
They are so comfortable & practical as the see through plastic
along the front helps my feet stick to the pole as well as
looking gorgeous!!

Bargain @ £34.99 from E-Bay!!





My second purchase was a much needed pair of new black boots
(That's what I told Nick!!)
I headed off to Drake circus on friday this week (After a
whole week off doing coursework & in need of some retail therapy!)
& found just the thing I was looking for, I needed smart shoes for
work & found these in Barratts. Originally priced @ £65.00 there was
one pair left in my size &
on sale for £30.00!!

Of course I had to have them!







And lastly I bought these lovely & comfy knitted boots to give
my poor feet a rest from those killer heels!

Another bargain, only £9.99 from Shoe Zone!









I often tell my students as words of advice that I sometimes
do my hoovering & housework in my underwear & heels!
If like me you find housework as dull as todays weather!
Then I highly recommened spicing up a grey sunday
afternoon with some sexy chores!!
It's a good way to break in your new heels,
work on your balance & liven up very dull
& mundane tasks!!


















So why not put on you favourite music & crank it up,
your favourite heels, your favourite underwear &
get busy in the house cleaning & sprucing, Silky style!
I guarentee it will brighten up any day, be a good
laugh & certainly have your partner appreciating what
you do around the house!!!!! LOL!!




Have Fun Ladies!!!

Thought I would do a quick blog as we are almost at the end of January already! Hope everyone is having a good New Year? Mine is gong very well considering I hate New Year, very busy & motivated!





Even though it seems a distant memory now, I had the best Christmas ever! My Mum married the most wonderful man in the world on the 18th of December, my Step Dad Dave!, which meant my Sister came over from Australia for 3 weeks & we all enjoyed a fabulous family christmas. My Mum looked stunning & My Sister & I were her Bridesmaids. Because Mum doesn't have any parents My Sister, 2 Brothers & I walked her down the aisle & my brothers gave her away. It was magical & just the perfect wedding even though it was frezzing cold! Mum choose Royal Blue & the colours we amazing & very fitting for a Winter Wedding!










I spent Christmas day with Nicks family having Christmas dinner at the Borringdon Golf Club in Plympton which was an exquisite 7 course meal! We then spent the evening with my family & just had the best time! Although I was emotional as usual on New Years Eve (only because my plans fell through & I didn't have a back up!) January has been a good month & the weather has been a nice distraction from the New Year Blues I usually get! I got a day off my school job because of the snow & it was fab! I was just about to go out the door @ 8.30 in the morning & got the call to say school was closed so I opted for the sofa, tacky TV & a bacon sandwhich instead! Unexpected heaven!

It was only one day off though & I have been running around after teenagers all month with a particuarly stressful week as we have been very short staffed. I have had to be 3 people all week as well as teach pole dancing & train & try to fit in some coursework! No rest for the wicked eh!


To finish the month of January I will be teaching a Masterclass on the 30th @ 3.15pm. Spaces are filling up fast so be quick if you would like to attend? I will be teaching a combination Master Class which will involve not only achieving some advanced moves on our sylabus but going from one advanced trick smoothly into another. It's going to be a proper beasting & I look forward to seeing you there! Some of my Combination Tricks on the day will include:


Extended Butterfly to Gemini Drop

Jack Knife to Closed Gemini

Air Pencil to Jamilla

Bow & Arrow Spin to Mantis

Pixie Spin to Floating Ballerina

Bat to Bridge
Spyda Monkey to Finish!!
(Should be red faced & sweating by then!)



We have a number of Master Classes over the next month so check out the events page on our website for more info. Sam, Georgina, Rosanna & Tamar will all be running their own classes & concerntrating on their best moves & dance techniques to teach you. I will definatley be attending Georgina Gales Exotic Education, how can you not with a title like that!!

I will leave you with some exciting news that really only affects Nick & I, But I am going to see the PRODIGY live on monday night!! They are my favourite Dance/Electronic Punk bands of all time since I was 13! I have never seen them live before & I think I am going to wet myself I'm so excited!! I'm hoping they throw in some old Skool classics as well as their latest genius! Nick managed to get tickets last minute & suprised me yesterday! If I can get any good piccys I will post asap! I can't believe it!! Should take my mind off my Mum going to Australia for 5 weeks for her Honeymoon on the same day!!




Enjoy the rest of your weekend fellow lovelys! x x

Hello! I'm still here!

Wow it's been a long time since I last blogged & soooo much has happened! Thought I'd better get blogging before I get the sack!!!

Well I'll start where I left off! The birthday bash on the 7th of June was a success! I was so proud of my students, amazed by the other students & very proud of the Instructors! I really enjoyed my performance & showcasing all the new moves I had been learning at that time, a great night indeed! Looking forward to watching the footage soon!




My sister soon left for australia after our birthday bash & we had a "last supper"! It was very emotional & I was dreading it, you can see from the picture we were trying to be light hearted but check out the emotional bags under my red eyes! haha! After 2 days of being stricken with grief I soon picked up ready to enjoy my so called 6 weeks summer holiday! I say so called because I was still working for The Art of Dance (which was a pleasure as always!), working for my Mum in her shop in Polperro a couple of days a week & even went back to Tribal Voice to pierce a few members of the public! I was glad to be busy though as I found myself thinking too much when I had a bit of time & that never does me any good! I did have a slight spell of depression for a while but am glad to say I am over it & motivated again!

The highlight of my 6 week holiday was the suprise one to one lesson my boyfriend Nick & Mum had organised with the World Champion Felix Cane! Oh my god, I was so shocked, I thought Mum & I were going to Bristol to get my bridesmaid dress & a bit of shopping in Cribbs but instead I was told in the morning I was meeting Felix & having a private lesson with her! So I had the car jouney to plan what I wanted to get out of my lesson & what I wanted to say! Felix was fabulous, very funny, bubbly, lively, sexy, glamourous everything I hoped for & we got on like old friends, she was very nice & allowed my Mum to sit in on the lesson also! I am usually quite reserved when I meet people & took me about 20 mins to get passed being quiet but after that we had a real laugh & she was so affectionate & sweet! I have taken her advice & teaching away with me & will be a day I'll never forget, I even ended up teaching her a few moves like the 1 armed flag which she was very impressed with! To summerise she was fantastic, so down to earth & a great laugh! I am so in love with her after meeting her in person!




Another highlight of my summer holiday was the chance to go out on a 3 million pound Princess Yacht for a couple of hours! Nick has a friend who works there & we were invited out on a test drive of this brand new yacht which has to be hammered around the sound to ensure it is all in working order for it's lucky new owner! It was a great trip and we were even allowed to take it in turns to drive it! It was very sureal driving such a glamouous monstor but suprisingly easy too! I concluded afterwards that I want one & asked Nick nicely to hurry up and make his millions so I can have one! It was just amazing & the weather was stunning!


After meeting Felix I decided to enter Pole Divas this year! Encouraged by Nick who pushed the submit button on the website I was booked into bristol & ready to go!
Sam & Tamar had also entered & I have to be honest was uncomfortable competing with my fellow instructor & boss as I'm not a competitive person & think we are all amazing on the pole & very different.
I was very unsure if I was ready for this competition & had always said I would not enter a competition untill I had achieved the splits & felt 100% ready!
I wish I had listened to my gut as on the night I did do a "good" performance but lost my sparkle on stage & didn't enjoy it! I was shocked I felt like this & it only hit me once I was on stage, I remember thinking half was through I wish this was over which is very unlike me! I can only put it down to the recent spell of depression & having a skin issue on my legs which I am on antibiotics for still! I wasn't ready for this but am glad to have the experience as next time I know what to expect. Sam & Tamar who have competed before were at there best on stage & delivered fantastic & very individual performances. I felt sorry for the judges as we are all so different! Tamar however bagged the title & one the professional category, I have to say this was the best I have seen her perform & much deserved, she was on fire that night! Well done Tamar, you did us proud!! I believe we got 1st, 2nd & 3rd which is great news for The Art of Dance!


I also enjoyed a night out during the holidays with my friends from tribal voice after a fantastic Burlesque Lesson with the gorgeous Gorgina Gale! (Sue, The Art of Dance) My friends loved it & I enjoyed showing off Sue who I have told them soooo much about & we got all dressed up in burlesque outfits afterwards & hit the town. I was extremley drunk!



So back to work now, I am happy to be back at school doing my first aidy type stuff & looking forward to my new slot teaching in Plymouth on wednesday's!! I will still be in Liskeard on a tuesday @ 6.15pm & now in Plymouth @ 6.15pm & 7.30pm! This gives me more time & energy to be in the Plymouth studio more & take on some of the Uni classes too. I am very excited about this change & have lots of motivation because of it. I am leaving my wednesday lesson in Liskeard in the capable hands of our new Instructor SJ! Sarah Jane has been my student for 2 years & I have taught her from scratch. She is my proudest teaching achievement & has advanced very quicky to a strong Instructor level! The girls in Liskeard all know & love her & I know she will be a fab Instructor!!


Before my blog becomes a novel I would just like to mention the lovely Roasanna. She has had a tough time the last few months but am glad to say she is back to teaching & on the mend! Before our birthday bash she asked me to perfom @ Run to The Sun in Newquay, it was a massive event with thousands of people & I really enjoyed it! It was hard work but the feeling on stage was incredable, I'm gald I took part & would like to thank her for asking me. I spent some quality time with Rosanna & really valued getting to know her better & think the world of her! I'm glad your back hun! Keep shaking that ass!!












I will log off now, I have been blogging for over an hour now & my stretches are calling! Will not leave it so long next time & I look forward to seeing more of you in Plymouth!

Take Care Pole ladies!!

Good Luck Girlies!!!!

Can you believe it's finally here! The 7th of June tomorrow & our 5th birthday bash in the evening!
I am blogging today to wish all the students & instructors the best of luck for tomorrow night, I'm sure you are all feeling the nerves & pressure as am I! But it's all going to be worth it!

I would like to wish a special good luck to my Liskeard girls who I have been teaching for the last 18 months, this will be the first time they have performed out of lessons & I am going to be beaming with pride tomorrow night as they kick off the show!
They all performed beautifully in class this week & I can't wait to see them all looking gorgeous on stage!

Good luck to the fabulous Nikki Brown & Charlie Hancock below!






Good Luck to the beautiful Sarah Jane Wottoon! Aka "Jazz" tomorrow night!





And lastly Good Luck my gorgeous Helen & Lauren!





Being an Instructor doesn't mean that the nerves get any better, I have spent the last 2 days in the toilet, unable to eat much & my stomach flipping every time I think about performing tomorrow! But I also know the buzz & the feeling when you finish your performance is amazing & worth every minute of anxiety!
So good luck girls, tomorrow will be fab!
I am also looking forward to being in awe as usual at the beautiful ladies who taught me how to pole dance! The 3 founders of The Art of Dance Sue, Jo & Sam. I am gutted that Jo is unable to perform this time & it won't be the same without her always astounding performance! But I know she is taking it easy so she can get back to full strength & blow us away soon!!


I would like to say now, rather than tomorrow as I feel slightly emotional & don't want my make up to run! I will always be very grateful to Sue, Jo & Sam. Not only do I admire & respect them as fabulous women but Sue taught me to be confident & to let go, Jo taught me as a student from the beginning & all the tricks & Sam believed in me & gave me a dream job where I can give back to others.


Thank you ladies, I love you to bits!!


I will sign off now, get plenty of rest & best of luck to all for tomorrow, it's very exciting & it's going to be wonderful!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Ouch!

After spending 2 hours training today, I just managed to fall from a plank variation onto my head and crushing my calf muscles on the way down! I felt like my brain had detached itself in my head afterwards and I'm aching now, I think it was my body's way of telling me to stop! I'm feeling really motivated by the new moves Sam has been giving us for homework and our birthday bash on the 7th of June but I guess I should stop today, well until my teaching tonight anyway!!

Hope everyone had a great bank holiday?? I'm enjoying the time off especially since starting my new job in a school as I have had 2 weeks off for easter, although I spent the first 4 days of last week on a 4 day at work first aid training course! I passed with flying colours and am ready to go back to work next week as the new school nurse/first aider!!


I spent most of my bank holiday with family and had a really nice time. My mum's sister came to visit us from Essex and we haven't seen them for 13 years! We had a lovely Indian in Looe Friday night and spent Saturday evening at my mums beautiful house in Polperro. We had dinner in their stunning garden and sat around a fire while my brother and cousin played the bass guitar and didgerydoo, it was magical!

I have gorgeous twin cousins who were 3 the last time I saw them and they were very excited about my pole dancing and had been watching me on you tube before they came to see us. After a lovely afternoon shopping I treated them to a look around the plymouth studio and a pole dancing lesson on Saturday and they loved it! They were excellent for their first time on the pole and shocked by how hard it was! See below for Francessca on the left and Chloe on the right.

As you can see I got them posing and they looked great! I was quite tearful when they left on sunday as it has been such a long time since we saw them and my sister is moving to Australia in July which is going to be here before I know it and I'm dreading saying Goodbye to her! She is my best friend as well as my sister and she is great! I've been helping her move out of her house recently as she gets ready for the move, stressful and emotional as you can imagine! But it will all be worth it especially when I'm sat on a catermaran next summer watching humpback whales in Hervey Bay!! Can't wait!!!


Below is my sister, her husband Mark and me on a night out dressed up as pimps, I think you'll agree Mark really looked the part! Good Times!



Nick and I enjoyed the rest of the weekend chilling out at home and visiting his mum and dad. It's been nice spending some quality time together, especially just at home as we are both always running around and busy with work. We were also making plans for our neglected garden as we hope to transform it before the summer! Poor Nick had to go back to work today and I think most of you will agree with him that the weekend went sooo quick and wasn't long enough!



Looking good though baby!! And plenty more good times to come!

















On a final note I would like to wish Jo and Nixi better! I have been thinking of you both and hope you are resting and getting better. I keep getting updates from Sam and look forward to seeing you both soon! I am only up the road from you in Stoke if you need anything Nixi, so don't hesitate to call me!! Lots of love to you both!!

Lots of Love to Sam too just because she's fab!!

Catch up again soon, take it easy and don't fall on your heads if you can help it, it bl**dy hurts!!

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!!

I couldn't resist posting this picture from Christmas night at my house last year. I bought some joke thongs for Nick and our friends boyfriends who were not shy about putting them straight on and giving us a good show on my pole!

There has been plenty to celebrate recently. I lost my job 2 weeks ago and have been very worried about getting another one due to the current state of this country and the fact I have been trying to get a job, specifically in a school for the last 8 months with no luck! But last week I got a call from one of the schools I have been pursuing and have been given a Teaching Assistant position at John Kitto Community College which I start tomorrow! I have been quietly stressing but I just knew if I kept going I would get somewhere! I'm one of those people who doesn't give up and when it's what I really want I have to make it happen! I am so pleased as it means I will be better off for time and money, can give more to The Art of Dance and my own training plus, and very important I can save up and visit my sister next year during the summer holidays who is moving to Australia in July this year. (That's if Sam will let me have the time off of course!)

I was poorly on the morning I had my interview and after they told me I got the job I left and burst into tears! It has been a long time trying and worrying about losing my piercing job and getting another but it all just happened at once! I collapsed on the sofa when I got home and Sam was kind enough to cover my Wednesday night lessons and let me stay on the sofa all night! I think the stress and relief got to me as I was quite poorly for a while! But I'm back to normal now and looking forward to seeing my students this week!

I enjoyed a good meeting and pole jam with Sam and the other Instructors last Friday, the main topic of conversation was the fab BBC Three documentary which I'm sure you have all seen. I think it clearly portrayed Sam in a positive fitness light, separated her from the glamour/seedy industry and showed the extent of what she's up against! I am beaming with pride for Sam as usual and thought she was a natural on the camera as was her husband Sid whose character came across really well!

So, new job, celebrity boss and my sister's 30th birthday coming up this weekend means that life is all good at the moment and there is plenty to celebrate!!

I did a bit of celebrating on the weekend by holding a 70's birthday party for my friend Gemma. The main attraction was my pole in the middle of my living room which I turned into a little disco with UV lighting and a disco ball! Watch out for full details on my next blog including lots of pictures of half naked men loving the pole!!

Until next time fellow pole dancers!

Vestival 2009

Here are my two performances from today's exhibition at the Vestival Event in the Piazza, Plymouth City Centre.

Mad Cow??

No not me! or the disease, well maybe me! but the name of a modeling agency I have recently signed up to.
In august last year I applied to a new agency via the Gumtree website and was contacted by them some time after who informed me that I was one of 200 picked out of 3000 applications! This meant that I would be listed on their website, can apply for assignments and was given the opportunity to a photo shoot in order to create a portfolio if I didn't have one. I was a bit skeptical at first but decided to bite the bullet and go for it.
I did a three hour shoot on the 24th of November and decided of course to take my pole! My pole at home is 10ft long and I had to borrow and extra piece from Sam to reach the ceiling in the studio making it over 13ft! I had to climb it with 2 men holding it up at the bottom while I attached it to the ceiling! For anyone who has put up an X Pole you can imagine how scary and difficult that was to do! I styled myself for the shoot and went with an idea I had to pose as three different types of dancer, Pole, Podium and Burlesque. I signed up to this website as I was interested in getting a professional portfolio done just as a keepsake and wanted to have some quality photographs on the pole of some of my favourite tricks (well the ones I can do at the moment!)
I don't know if any work will come out of this for me and didn't sign up to it with that realistically in mind but you never know?? After a long wait I have finally received my photographs and have to pick 10 for editing for my finished portfolio. Even though I am extremely self critical I was really pleased with the pictures and was given a Cd with almost 100 images. I have picked a few of my favourites to put on my blog and will update some of the older pole trick pictures soon. Here are a few for you to have a gander at in the meantime:




If you ever get the chance to have a professional photo shoot I highly recommend it! (Always check it out first though, my Mum and Nick were concerned about me doing this especially having never met the Mad Cow people before so Nick took me to the studio and left me to it when he felt comfortable.)

The experience of a professional shoot has always been on my to do list and I was surprised by my confidence on the set! Just goes to show the powerful influence of the Art of Dance, I would never have done this 3 years ago!!

Moofu, Me and the Dragons!

I don't know where to stat today as there is so much going on at the moment! I have posted my views about the recent controversy with Sam and the College on her blog page so you can enjoy reading my rant there! Despite the issue I certainly enjoyed seeing my fabulous boss on the News at Ten last night!

I guess I should start by explaining the title of my blog today as it is a bit random! Moofu is the name of my boyfriend Nick's business, me is me! and the Dragons are as you can see in the picture Peter Jones from the Dragons Den.
I have just got back from London after attending the BT Essence of the Entrepreneur awards with my boyfriend Nick who was one of twenty winners out of thousands of applicants nationwide. I mentioned in an earlier blog that he had a photo shoot last year with a famous photographer called Rankin and the pictures of the twenty winners were on display at the OXO building in Southbank wednesday night hence my not teaching in Liskeard this week!
Peter Jones is the famous face of the BT Entrepreneur Awards, he gave a speech and presented the winners with their certificates. I had joked about getting a picture with him before the event as he is soooo tall and I am tiny but didn't think we'd get the chance but after a few glasses of wine and the event being very intimate the opportunity presented itself and he was happy to have a picture taken with me. He took the mick out if my size by crouching down so you can't really see how tall he is next to me, I got a good grope of him though and have to say what a lovely man he is, very inspiring and he had a lot of time for everyone at the event.

Nick is well over 6ft tall and you can see him and Peter in the next picture when he was presenting Nick with his certificate how tall he really is!












Duncan Ballentine also attended and again was kind enough to sign Nicks certificate and allow us to take his picture.

Nick and I had such a great time at this event, we made a good networking team and enjoyed talking to the other nominees. Nick made some good contacts and we left quite drunk as the staff kept topping up our drinks every 5 mins so we don't really know how many glasses of free wine we had!
We were also celebrating our 2 year anniversary so Nick booked a very swish hotel for us to stay in and we enjoyed breakfast and a stroll around Canary Wharf the next day.

Again I am beaming with pride for Nick and his business and appreciate him involving me and taking me to such wonderful events. He always introduces me to everyone he talks to and tells them what I do with pride, we both enjoyed the reaction from the photographer Rankin when I told him I'm a Fitness Pole Dancing Instructor, he must have said wow 3 times and seemed very impressed! Moofu is doing well despite a rough end to last year and I have nothing but respect and admiration for Nick for all the hard work he puts in and what he is achieving (even though I do moan sometimes when he is soooo busy! Sorry baby!) He really is something special, a true Entrepreneur and the love of my life! Well done babe, in your own words, "Keep going and don't stop to look back!!"

Merry Christmas The Art of Dance!

Hello Everyone, I have done my last lesson of the year tonight and have come home and started the Christmas boozing already! I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and express how much I have enjoyed teaching all my lovely students this year and how proud I am of the achievements in my classes, my Liskeard students are coming along beautifully with their pole dancing! I have been teaching for a year now and it has flown by! I will be braving Drake Circus to do some shopping tomorrow, well my boyfriend Nick will be, he hasn't done any yet! and I'm just mooching, then I'm off to my Dads for the evening and waking up at my house Christmas day. I will be having Christmas lunch with Nick's parents and a party at my place with my friends in the evening. Finally I will be fitting a visit with my Mummy boxing day in Polperro and enjoying another Christmas lunch and a cliff walk! I am looking forward to the time off the next couple of weeks especially spending time with my lovely boyfriend who works sooo hard and also deserves a well earned rest!



Before I go and enjoy the Christmas festivities I would like to say a special congratulations to one of my students Tracey Moxham who is 35, has two children and lives in Liskeard. She joined us in September for pole dancing lessons at the Liskeard venue and has also had private lessons in Plymouth and at my home. Tracey's boyfriend Rob has been fighting pirates in Africa the last 4 months and on a mission to boost her fitness and confidence Tracey decided to give him a treat on his return for Christmas! We have been working together on a routine for Tracey to perform to her boyfriend when he gets back. She told Rob she started pole dancing lessons and he bought her a pole so she has been working very hard the last couple of months to perfect her routine, we decided on the song Black Velvet for the performance and I have been delighted with Tracey's progression. Rob knows she will perform for him when he gets back but I don't think he will be expecting the amazing tricks and fluidity that Tracey has achieved. I have been so impressed with how quick she has progressed she can easily invert and her routine includes the Gemini, Butterfly and a beautifully controlled Seated Fall Back! It is very impressive for a lady who has only been having lessons since September! So good luck for the big night Tracey! hope it goes well and I'm sure Rob will get the Christmas present of his life! I am very proud of you and have thoroughly enjoyed our lessons your so lovely and genuine and I look forward to hearing about your performance in the new year!















On that note, Merry Christmas to all at the Art of Dance, see you in the New Year!

News in pictures

Last month Sam and I were invited to the Echo Centre in Liskeard to do a pole dancing display, here are some of the pictures, you can view more on Sam's blog and on our art of dance facebook group.

My performance at Annabel's discotheque

Sorry about the lack of lighting on this video.

Holiday!!

Feels like I never went away now! Until I look at my fantastic pictures! I had a great time in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote a couple of weeks ago. I was disappointed with the weather at first, we arrived to rain and cloud which put me in quite a bad mood the first couple of days, I felt a bit lost and didn't know what to do on holiday with no sun??
But the weather cleared up quickly and we enjoyed some fabulous sunshine. I went with Nick, my sister, her husband and close friends. The company was great and we spent most of our time just laughing at eachother!
It was a busy holiday and I didn't get the rest I was planning but I didn't mind as we only had a week out there and wanted to do as much as possible.
The picture above is the day we spent on the beach and just about to get on a banana boat, it was great fun, I was posing as usual and ended up falling in and taking the others with me! I was doing a kind of Side Spin pose and thinking I was very clever until I hit the water very hard!

One of the main highlights for me was watching a real Drag Queen Show, I love Drag Queens and would love to go to Vegas to see the real deal, although I don't think they get any better than the two we saw in Lanzarote at a place called Cactus Jacks. The first night the entertainment was a bit naff but the second night we caught the last part of this Drag Queen Show which was fab, after meeting them and giving them a hug I found out they were back on monday and I managed to get front row seats in the pub! It really was one of the best nights I've ever had, they were hilarious, and they picked on all of our partners.
Poor Nick got dragged on stage and had about 5 lollipops put in his mouth, the last lolly was pulled out from underneath her skirt and was the size of a dinner plate! Everything about them was so fantastic, their outfits were amazing, stage presence, make up, legs, bums! I was in complete awe of them and can't recommend enough going to watch a show like that, they are so cheeky and funny! They should have a website in about a month so I'll post the details, well worth a look!




This was before the show, I just love them!














The next highlight for me and I couldn't believe it was an afternoon on a huge catermeran. For 69 euro's each we spent 4 hours on the boat including a lovely lunch, ride on a jet ski, diving off the boat and snorkling. It was manned by a crew of 5 who were so friendly and fun. There was a bar and on the way back they cranked up the music and one of the male members was gesturing pole dancing on one of the poles that held up the middle section of the boat. Nick pushed me to show them how it was done and I hesitated at first but as soon as they heard I could pole dance they cheered me on. Thinking about it now it was so surreal, there must have been 40 odd people on this boat watching me and cheering, the crew loved it and I showed the man who started it how to do a few moves in front of the others, he was a really good sport and I got him body waving, doing a boomerang backslide and he even attempted the seat!

When we got back to the marina, we were the last lot off the boat and the whole crew bowed down and cheered me off, it was so sweet! I looked back at them when I had walked off and they were tidying up the boat and still attempting the moves I had shown them! I think they were impressed. I will be sending them some pictures as I don't think anyone had done this on their boat before!


Anyhoo back too reality now, I feel like I've gone on a bit but it really was such a good holiday!

I'm back doing my lessons in Liskeard again now, hope my girls enjoyed their lesson with Sam while I was away. I am training very hard and getting quite frustrated, I just want to do it all!

Great things are happening for the Art of Dance at the mo, check out Sams blog for the latest exciting news!

Good luck to Sam next week for the Miss Pole Dance finals, you go girl!

Will catch up again soon, not such a long one next time! I am planning to do a new video of my dancing since the only one on my blog was when I was a student! Watch this space!

Take it easy!
