Dancing in Platform Shoes plus an AntixFitness preview
The PoDaViAs is down below, but first here’s a short review of my inspiration for this week’s assignment.
Last week I got to check out the beautiful AntixFitness studio in Redlands, CA. The waiting room of AntixFitness is filled with shoes, clothes, and some of my favorite sexy toys. I was like a kid in a candy store for at least half an hour. OH MY! The studio itself has a brass pole for every student, a wall length mirror, plenty of yoga mats, exercise balls, and weights. Beautiful wood floors and overhead lights with blue sky and clouds appliques make this a lively and inviting studio.
Mikey, the owner is super strong, playful, and an awesome instructor. In a word she ROCKS! She kicked my ass (meaning worked me out 
) in her Simple Pole and Core’n'Sculpt classes.
She also gave me a sneak peak at the Better Than Cheesecake dancetroup performance coming up May 1. Its a Cinco De Mayo event called “Lady Banditas: Busted.” Check out the info site here.
Plus, I got invited to do a solo performance at midnight! So, if you’re in the area, you better come and check it out. There’s no cover and its sure to be a great show.
Just in case you can’t make it, I’ll be posting a blow by blow after the event. I can’t wait!
I was totally inspired by Mikey and her studio girls who always dance in shoes. I rarely wear shoes to dance and found myself feeling a little clumsy as Mikey put me through my paces. Yikes! But I love a challenge, and decided to use this experience as the basis for my next PoDaViAs (pole dancing video assignment).
So, if you usually dance without shoes, here’s your chance to don a lovely pair of 5″ or 6″ Heel Platform Shoes.
Remember that you have to take special care to keep your abs nice and tight to protect your lower back. Also remember to limit your shoe time or keep the heels below two inches. If you are a beginner, keep the high heels at the 4 or 5 inch
Now, if you usually do dance with shoes, skip the shoes this week. Get yourself a pair of professional FootUndeez to protect the balls of your feet and make it easier to turn and twirl.
I had alot of fun with this one, so check out the video below!
I found my dancing to be heavier and more grounded. And I totally loved how easy it was to stretch into inversions and the Aysha with the weighty heels giving me that extra edge against gravity.
The song is Come Here Boy by Imogen Heap 
. Its one of my favorites!

loving the new site! I’m so much a dance in heels girl, I have a hard time dancing barefoot, barefoot I tend to just be doing moves. Glad you are posting new things to try again.

@nymphadora. Yes, sometimes it feels like I’m just doing the moves when I have shoes. I’m happy you’re enjoying the content. I love the feedback, thanks!
