Go-Go Pussy Pop
In putting together two shows for Brisfest (details here) I decided to have the first set be girls dancing with a Rock n Roll band. I’m a Go-Go dancer as much as I’m a Burlesque Dancer. My heart is in dancing to live music. It’s awesome.

You react to the music, you let the beat take you, there is no predetermined destination, as there is with a choreographed act. So I was surprised at some of the nervous smiles I was greeted with when I put out requests to some of the performers I love, personally and professionally, to see if they’d like to come and do the show and dance with the band.
Some were hesitant to say yes, to take a step in to the unknown, the unknowable, that moment that exists between time and space that is GO-GO DANCING! (dramatic sound effect)

This is the advice I gave them: Dance from the pussy. The pussy is power, it’s sex, it’s woman. Thrust it, shake it, pop it, drop it, WORK it. Let your Mojo take you with the beat.
Now what are you so afraid of? Get out there and dance!
