(More customer reviews)I was looking for an instructional striptease video - one that wasn't an aerobic workout. I wanted to put on a show of my own - not get into shape. "The Art of Exotic Dance -- Striptease Series" with Fawnia Mondey seemed right on target.
Since I had accompanied my husband/boyfriend to several strip clubs over the years, I had a basic idea of what I wanted to accomplish. (Thank goodness women are now welcome.) I wanted to learn some moves - and maybe create a short routine - that I hoped to use for `special occasions' in my own home!
As background, this video series is hosted by Fawnia Mondey (who goes by just "Fawnia") -- who lists as her credentials a dozen nude dance titles (such as Miss Canada's Rookie of the Year, or the North American Exotic Dance Champion). She is also cute as a button - and just as in shape - as she appears on the video's cover. (Darn her!)
This episode also had a few other instructors. One, `Athena,' also a former Penthouse dance contest champion, looks so much like Fawnia (just a bit thinner, younger and brunette) that she could probably pass for Fawnia's younger sister.
The first demonstration, executed mostly topless, shows how to give a "no touch" lap dance performance, and how to use the "tease" to heighten the excitement, with views both front and back.
The second lesson (also topless) gets a little hotter by adding in contact (with your "customer"). The segment starts with the dancer -- sitting first on the guy's lap - and then proceeding to brush her chest against his cheeks. Many of the moves focus on rubbing yourself against him (by sitting in his lap, facing him or away) or by assuming various postures which bring portions of your body (breasts or butt, usually) closer to his face.
Emotionally, the goal is to make the man feel welcome and special - by demonstrating how much you enjoy performing for him. Expressing one's personality, according to Fawnia -- is also very important, and she gives numerous suggestions on how to accomplish this.
Some of the lap dance lessons are actually filmed in a (closed) strip club, with the guy sitting in a chair as though he had just paid for his "dance." One of the more exciting moves demonstrated -- was something called the "spider" where the dancer horizontally scissors the guy's face with her legs --and moves the lowest portion of her body teasingly in front of him. Of course, bringing your own lips in close - will also make his blood run just as quickly to his head!
In one of the more instructional portions of the video, Fawnia herself demonstrates various ways to remove a normal rear-clasp bra when viewed from the front or the back. She then does the same with a front-clasp bra -- sometimes using her arms or hands to shield her breasts afterwards -- as a means of lengthening the reveal.
She even shows how to remove your bikini (bottom) while standing or sitting (the latter done with the toes pointed), and also while lying on the floor (with the instructor achieving total nudity after each demonstration).
The video finishes by demonstrating how to translate these same moves into an "at home" performance, one with Athena (who begins by removing her skirt), and several with Fawnia (who starts off one segment wearing - and then removing - her silk babydoll nighty).
Ladies, if you've ever enjoyed a lap dance yourself -- you know just how utterly exciting and seductive this personal show can be!
I should also point out -- of the three videos (Pole Work, Floor Work, and Lap Dancing), this lap dance episode is the only one in the series -- that offers any in depth instruction on the actual stripping off of one's garments. It is also the only one that features any toplessness or nudity - so if your hubby wants to watch - this is the episode he'll find to be the most entertaining. (The other two videos are strictly dance instruction - with very little undressing.)
As my only nit, some of the earliest dance segments on the video were overly dark or yellow (in coloration). Obviously, to capture the actual feel of the performances - these were filmed using only the existing light of the setting. Unfortunately, no adjustments were made in the film type or in the white balance (of the video recorder) to compensate.
The later segments of the video, filmed with more normal everyday lighting, were much more enjoyable.
To conclude, if you're planning to buy any disc in the series - always buy this episode (lap dancing) first -- for its actual instruction on how to strip -- and for the numerous finishing moves it offers to help get your guy `over-the-top!'Enjoy.
