The Little Bit Naughty Book of Lap Dancing for Your Lover Review

The Little Bit Naughty Book of Lap Dancing for Your Lover

The cute, little book is a hardcover book that is 96 pages long. It's an extremely short read of about a half an hour, but it does include a good chunk of information. The book includes a lot of full-color pictures that show the model in various states of undress, but you never see anything more than bare breasts. The book basically focuses on, step-by-step, attempting to teach you everything you need to give a good lap dance.
Because the book is so short, it doesn't touch on everything you'd need to know to give a good lap dance. However, it does a pretty decent job of giving you the very basics. It talks about the basics of eye contacts, how to dress, what arm movements to use, seating, lighting, and how to make an entrance. Along with that, there are about fifteen different "dance moves" shown in this book. Each move only includes one picture of the model in mid-move along with some text that explains what's going on. It would have been much more helpful to see multiple pictures demonstrating each move. After it explains the moves, there's a little 20-page example that tells you, step-by-step, what moves to include in a sample routine. It also talks about how to walk in and out in the most sexy way.
After that, there's a short frequently-asked-questions section as well as how to make your lap dancer persona and a short interview with a real lap dancer. Overall, the book isn't a bad book, but it isn't amazing either. They don't go as far as they could have to have made this book extra useful, but for being a small, bedside, short read, it's definitely not a bad book at all. You'll get the basic information that you need to give a good lap dance.

The S Factor: Strip Workouts for Every Woman Review

The S Factor: Strip Workouts for Every Woman

The book is very well laid-out. It starts with detailed stretches for every muscle group and then goes into some simple floor work. The floor work is very derivative of yoga and Pilates, but with an erotic twist, of course. Floor work is especially good for the abs, but it also works your shoulders, arms, and legs.
After that, it moves on to wall work and some other standing moves. These focus more on your legs, but fear not, your abs are still involved. Then there's a section on pole work, which is great for upper-body strength and burning calories - IF YOU HAVE A POLE IN YOUR HOUSE. I, for one, do not, so I just looked at the pretty pictures and sighed wistfully. Fear not, though - you can buy a stripper pole for your living room if you're so inclined, and if you have $300 just lying around begging to be spent.
Towards the end, there are various routines for you to use once you get accustomed to the individual exercises. There's also a small list of resources for buying exotic dancewear, poles, etc.
All in all, this book was well worth the $15 I spent on it. I can't stress how awesomely detailed each exercise is, with clear photos for each step. And for more advanced exercises, she offers a detailed beginner's alternative until your muscles are ready for the advanced move. Score! Plus, the exercises are fun, sexy, and guaranteed to strengthen your muscles.
On the negative side, Kelley likes to dis strippers and strip clubs - a LOT. I understand that she's probably doing it so that the soccer-mom housewives won't consider themselves "dirty" and "obscene" if they buy this book and do the exercises, but still. Lay off the exotic dancers, eh? She can also be very cheesy in her between-section monologues. On a few occasions, I read something that made me want to bang my head against the wall.
All in all, I recommend this book to anyone who like yoga and Pilates but is looking for something a little more intriguing. And, if you're into fun cardio and have the cash to burn on a pole, I would doubly recommend this book to you.

Hipper than Taebo, sexier than Pilates, The S Factor--stripping--is the hottest new fitness trend. Created by actress Sheila Kelley (LA Law, Sisters, and a host of film and Broadway roles), S-Factor classes are wildly popular and generating an avalanche of attention from Extra, Entertainment Tonight, The Los Angeles Times, Allure, Us magazine, Fox News, and CBS's 48 Hours, which proclaimed: "Women don't even know they're working out until two months later when they say, 'I've never had a better body in my life. I'm strong, I'm limber, I feel great.'" Sheila even convinced Barbara Walters to try a pole dance on The View.No wonder. Combining yoga, dance, and erotic movements, The S Factor is a program that tones muscle, firms the body, increases flexibility, promotes weight loss, and gives you a few new tricks for the bedroom. Illustrated in hundreds of photographs that show step by step how each move is done, the exercises are sensual yet demanding, requiring a balance of strength and finesse. There are slow, rounded warm-ups, the Spine Circles and Hip Circles. Strenuous motions, like the Rocking Cat-Cow. Peels and rolls, grinds, pounces, arches. And pole work, from the Firefly to Descending Angel.Something else happens, too: These exercises and routines boost self-esteem and give women a new way to think about their bodies. Stripping is a liberating act, out of which comes a new look, new body, new confidence, new you.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Exotic and Pole Dancing Illustrated Review

I think this book is a great reference manual. As a pole instructor - I focus more on tricks than dance, fitness vs. sensuality - I did find a few things in this book I would like to add to my warm ups.
I've never been an exotic dancer a day in my life so I cannot comment on other sections beyond the pole. I thought the lapdance and chair sections looked fun.
This book is easy to follow and understand. I think some of the movement is "over done" and far too dramatic but (hey what do I know? I'm a pole monkey) if you want a book to learn to be "sexy" for your hubby then this a great book full of all sorts of ideas and easy to follow choreography.
This is a good broad spectrum book about exotic dance. I would suggest buying it and looking through it if you are considering taking any pole fitness/dance or exotic type dance classes to see how you feel. It's easy sometimes to feel a little silly doing hip circles and rolls in class with a bunch of other women (but it gets very fun and silly!)
I really am enjoying this read, the anecdotes are funny, the music list is great, this book is just full of all sorts of cute little ideas. The instruction really is easy to follow - this is the main thing that I liked about it.
If you are looking for any type of advanced instruction this book is not for you. The most advanced this book gets is basic inversion. If you are an advanced pole dancer looking to be an instructor, this is a good read for you. You'll want to pay attention to the breakdowns of the moves and the sequences she explains them in. If you've never been an exotic dancer and want to teach, this is a great book about sensual movement - if that's the type of classes you would like to teach. I would even suggest allowing your students to borrow it.
If you're a "pole gymnast" (I just like the term, that's how I see it) then you'll likely not gain much out of this book. I would recommend Vertical Dance Videos to you. I'd also look into books by Eric Franklin which discuss more anatomy and body conditioning for flexy, bendy moves on the pole.
All in all - good beginners book, good reference manual for instructors, the DVD is fun!
