How To Pole Dance 101

My first start as pole dancing amateur.

How To Pole Dance 101

You know that moment when you think something is easy, and you're like, "Yeah, I can totally do that in a week with some practice."

The worst is: we all believe we can do it easily.

So the other day, one of my classmates showed a Youtube video with a pole dancer.

And I was like: Me too, I can do it!

I can do it dude How hard can it be seriously?

Yeah, I totally can.

So I put my battledress, and got ready to do some pole dance.

Plus, my boyfriend will be happy. Men like pole dancing, right?

First an easy position. I have fifteen years of dancing behing me, I am pretty sure I can rock it. How hard can it be? You're basically holding your body with your hand. E-A-S-Y.

It didn't end well.



Okay, it was my first shot, it will be better tomorrow. It's always like that, trust me. In dance or music or any field, if you can't do something today, you'll rock it tomorrow (y).

For example: I played piano for fifteen years. When my hands have to play really fast, I just stop practicing and repeat tomorrow and it works!

Turns out, playing piano (with fifteen years of practice behind me) and doing pole dance (with a history of two minutes and a half) are not the same. Who would have believed it?

But I am not losing hope, I believe in my sexiness.

Let's try another position!

Ehhhhhhhhhh

What is on my face you're asking? Those are my freaking boobs.

My boobs are absolutely not small, and absolutely not muscular (unlike the pole dancers). Turns out, if my head is upside down, every roll of fat, every heavy part of me, including my boobs, obey the laws of gravity. My entire being is attracted to the center of earth.

Did you hear about this theory: the more an object/body is heavy, the more it is attracted to the Earth's core?

...Shut up I am not fat, I'm fluffy. #Gabrieliglesias

Plus, who can do this with heels? (Correction: Who can do anything with heels? Absolutely not me.)

Okay I am still motivated I can do this!

Third position.

... Conclusion?


I suck ass at being sexy. I really do. Also, did I tell you my cheeks follow gravity too? (And so do my double chin, my cheeks, my boobs again and my belly fat, but I was too embarassed to draw it.)

I give up. I am going to lay down.

Did someone say food?

Food!

There is food somewhere.



I am not proud of myself.

Have you ever seen a cartoon drawing, where there is a donkey walking because there is a carrot hanging in front of him?

Thats me. I need a carrot to work out.

As it happens, the carrot should be a really fat, fat, fat chocolate cake. Or a quesadilla. Or a perfectly cooked hamburger. Or Girl Scout cookies, oh my god yes.

Fuck it, I'll just make my boyfriend watch "Magic Mike," maybe he'll get the motivation to be stripper for me. #Dontstopbelievin

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
