I found your explanation of the Superman so clear and easy to follow, I was tempted to run into the pole room and give it a try. But I was wearing Khaki pants. It's great to see you are pushing the boundaries of the pole dance movement...expanding the number of ways that people can learn about pole and exotic dance.
Sascha, you are brave to talk openly about your experiences and your opinions about burlesque and erotic dance. Even here in relatively staid and conservative Midwestern Chicago, we have the occaisonal Burlesque revue that rents out a local "off off off Broadway type theatre"--but plays to a full house (30-50 people) on many weekends. The audiences run the gamut, single folks, couples, theatre people, groups of young adults out for a little more of a risqué evening. I got to talk to a performer last Christmas who said her Burlesque act was just part of her performance career (she was a dancer, dance hooper, and aerialist from New Zealand).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adults enjoying a perfectly legal dance performance in an environment that is consensual, safe, and non-exploitative. Furthermore, you've got a well balanced set of goals and values involving service to others in your chosen profession of social work.
Veena, the production was superb! Picture was CRYSTAL clear on this end..nice playback, no hitches or stutters in the file. The sound was great..it picks up a nice resonant quality in your voice I had never heard before...you could sing in a band, you know!!!
So...local cable outlet in the Bay Area next??? "VeenaTV" why not!!??
