 Great explanations, lots of variety... and lots of fun! May 14, 2007

Wow, this book is a steal for $20. You get a well-written, thoroughly entertaining and funny book loaded with creative ideas, suggestions and advice- plus a DVD with examples of what you see in the book. It's a great deal. Not to mention the author really knows her stuff.
I love her comfortable approach, helping reduce anxiety over dancing "dirty," etc. As a former stripper, I find that many many women want to learn how to strip/lapdance/pole dance but are afraid of the social consequences, so I adore her reassurance throughout: this is fun, this is good exercise, this is for you and let no one make you feel any shame about being a sexy goddess. Amen, sister. Also emphasizes imperfect bodies and how to make your "imperfections" work to your advantage and learn to embrace them. Required reading for all shy violets and anyone who has ever said, "I'm too ___ to be a sexy dancer/stripper/etc."
Very highly recommended if you don't have a pole, if you just want some sexy moves to impress your partner or just look hot in front of your mirror at home. Also recommended if you have just invested in a pole and want a place to start that's basic and yet, provides room to grow. A masterpiece, a bargain.
 pole dancing how to's May 6, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I like most of the tricks that this dancer does but it is way too dancey for me and she tends to talk down to the audience. She does do a good job of illustrating how to do the tricks though! I really prefer the S Factor version of pole dancing but there are no DVD's of hers that show any inverted or the more complex pole tricks. This DVD does show them. For that reason I would recommend it.
Best Book and D.V.D. on Stripping March 19, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have purchased more than a few D.V.D.'s on stripping(books as well) and I have to say this is by far the best I've seen.
Stripping,lapdancing,polework and even (So Awesome!!!)chair dancing!!! The chairdancing and lapdancing instructions are worth the price of the book alone:)
There is really so much info,ideas and tips it will keep you inspired for years. At least!
The instruction in book and D.V.D. are very clear. You know exactly how to perform each move. No geussing.
Also,on my stupid moves meter from 0 to 10 this rates 0. Everything is very useable and sexy.
I've purchased at least 2 d.v.d.'s which scored high on the stupid moves meter and I really wished I hadn't purchased 'em.
This along with the S Factor book and d.v.d.'s are the only ones you will need. Lots of stuff to play with.
Anyway, Love this book/d.v.d. I would highly recommend.
Learning a Lot about Men March 7, 2007

Yup, it's just what the title says it is, an introduction to pole dancing for the just curious, the adventurous girl friend, or someone looking for a new job.
Reading it twice, first I just looked at the pictures, I found that this lady (along with comments from some of her friends) has one of the best understandings of what turns men on that I have ever seen, i.e. 'some dancers I worked with would spend exorbitant amounts of money at Victoria's Secret. I got my bras and underwear at Wal-Mart. Let me tell you, men do not know the difference.' (We men are so simple.)
The author runs a studio that teaches this kind of dancing, it's good exercise, it's good fun, and it may just change your home (or professional) life. Exotic/Pole dancing has worked for Ms. Reardon. And her book is a view of life not often seen.

This book presents basic and intermediate moves that are sexy and easy to learn. The DVD outlines all of the moves presented in the book and is invaluable to those who have trouble learning solely from pictures. Great tips and suggestions are given about how to do the moves and different forms of the dance---chair, floor, pole, lap and stage. I would highly recommend this book/dvd for all beginners!
