October 2025: Time for some Frights At CED, we take Halloween very seriously, but we won't let that get in the way of starting to prepare for our Winter Soiree in December.

At CED, we take Halloween very seriously, but we won't let that get in the way of starting to prepare for our Winter Soiree in December.

It’s #InternationalFemaleOrgasmDay. Love it, but…

“Female” is giving lab report: too medical, & binary. “Women” works fine. “Femme” could fly too.

& Not all women want/can have orgasms, or multiples.
Celebrate delicious, desired sensations of all kinds.

Pleasure is pleasure.
Pleasure ≠ pressure.

I never know what to say when someone asks my favorite song, book, band, movie, food, etc. I like lots of things for many different reasons, or different moods, etc.

However, I do have a favorite spoon.

August 2025: To Point or not to Point… 101 Students, August is your month to level up!

101 students, August is your month to level up!

Circling back to this now that I posted June reads.

Read this for work, and was hopeful about a positive spin on pole and adult themes.

It started cute, but had me seething by the end. So tired of #notastripper attitudes.

Book covers for The end of Summer by KJ Micciche No Self No Problem by Chris Niebauer The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck Annie Bot by Sierra Greer

Reads for June.

I personally got a lot out of The Way of Integrity. This was good to read after last month's Burnout book.

Also, ooof Annie Bot. That hit in some interesting ways.

July 2025: We’re bringing sexy back to pole dancing United Pole Artists used to run Bringing Sexy Back as a celebration of INDIVIDUAL representations of the sexy side of pole dance every July. They have since stopped running this, hoping rather to promote the fitness side of pole dancing in hopes of it becoming an Olympic sport, but as Cleveland's sexy pole studio we can't pass up the chance to celebrate our stripper roots.

So many sexy series and workshops, it'll be hard to decide.

"It's crazy how much science is involved."

Damn straight, and not just about grip aids and weather, moisture, and hydration.

Shout out to #DryHands

Tacos. ❤️🌮

This is like every pole dance bachelorette party over the years in one. That was a fun read.

Party in chapter 4.
Ok. Cute, like the appropriate beginner pole moves, but the alcohol is hurting me a little bit.

Ope. Ha! Of course HE shows up! That just took me back to a crazy bachelorette party I hosted at my original space in 2009.

I have sooooo much to say about this place's pole party offerings and process. Can you actually get away with this in Cape Cod? Or is this literary creative license?

The Cleveland market is SOOO different. Sounds like the early days of pole studios from my perspective.

On to the party. Chapter 3

Book cover The End of Summer By KJ Micciche

Digging in to this today. Not my typical read, but I'm feeling a flirty summer vibe.

In the author's words this book promotes "the strength, glory, and inner beauty of women at every age that can be unearthed through the sport and art of pole dancing."

May 2025 Reads Burnout, The secret to unlocking the stress cycle By Emily Nagoski PhD, and Amelia Nagoski

Reads̶ for May. Yes, just 1.

I started about 5 other books, but I was working on a chroreography in May. I'll eventually finish them.

But this book was extremely helpful. I HIGHLY recommend it.

June 2025: Hot Ghouls & Himbos We're playing with creating new shapes during Shape-ril, getting ready for our annual Summer Student Showcase, and looking forward to the warmer months ahead.

Every month at CED is Pride Month, so June is just Flexibility Month.

Oh goodie. It's class of '97 graduation weekend on WMMS.

😭

Guess, I'll lean in.

*"Impression That I Get" starts.*

Nope!

Now I'm reading up some basic info on Tenant Unions. I do not have time for this shit, but I also don't have time for more building entry issues, and car break-ins that come with warmer weather.

Lean into the awkward whenever you get a good tingle of intuition about someone. Find your people. We'll be awkward together.

#smalltalk #makingfriendsasadults
#childhoodemotionalneglect

How do you think you get there?
How do you think you start identifying the people you might gel with, and get those deep conversations you likely both have been starved for?

I know small talk is horrible and seems pointless. It feels like wasting time and you want deep conversations.
But.

May 2025: It’s all about that booty! We're playing with creating new shapes during Shape-ril, getting ready for our annual Summer Student Showcase, and looking forward to the warmer months ahead.

May will bring us the return of twerk classes, a new lyra class, and more chances to get help with your routine for the Summer Student Showcase in June.

Elevation by Stephen King Dark Matter by Blake Crouch The Handyman Method by Nick Cutter & Andrew F. Sullivan How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind Todd Baratz

My reads for April 2025.

something that I try to convey when I write erotica that might be weird is... I think the mechanics of the body are very sexy. when you put your hand on your partner's belly & you can feel the muscle tense up all the way to their neck. the way breasts fall to the side with gravity.

1. Nothing to Fear by Julie McFadden, RN 2. Unchain Your Brain by David E Smith and Daniel G. Amen 3. Cuckoo by Gretchen Feller-Martin 4. Dust by Hugh Howey 5. The Bees by Laline Paul 6. The Sexually Dominant Woman by Lady Green (re-read)

My reads for March 2025.

April 2025: Creating Shapes and Choreography!

We're playing with creating new shapes during Shape-ril, getting ready for our annual Summer Student Showcase, and looking forward to the warmer months ahead.

Thinking about plans for Shapril next month at #ClevelandEclecticDance .

Holding shapes longer, rising, falling, tracing lines, and exploring movement through the parts of the body that remain free from the grip, head position and gaze.

I know, Instagram. But it's worth a view.

@scibodytherapy.bsky.social is on Bluesky but hasn't posted yet. Perhaps, more followers here...

Science bringing it all together. This content. Right. Here.

Some of my Flexibility students might be interested in this since we just spent a couple months on leg and core connections with the pelvic floor.
