This is a very useful instructional video for those women aspiring to become professional strippers.

Fawnia is an excellent teacher. And this disc demonstrates how to move and look artistic while covering a lot of (dance floor) area -- when lying on the ground - and how to gracefully transition from standing to sitting and back again.

If you've ever taken dance lessons previously - the footwork will feel strangely familiar. Fawnia teaches us (or reminds us of) some of the basic step combinations. She then adds simple hand gestures - or a shoulder turn - to make the movements even more enticing.

Later in the video she demonstrates how to fall to the floor very gracefully. (Think freestyle gymnastics and you'll get the picture.) Once there, she then displays how to prop one's torso upright with one hand - so that your pretty limbs are up in the air drawing attention (much like the above-the-water leg actions found in synchronized swimming).

As a contrast, if you've ever been to an `amateur night' competition - when new girls audition - the lack of graceful locomotion is sometimes painfully apparent. (Some of these women might've benefited - from watching this video first!)

To recap, Fawnia's dance lessons are undoubtedly good.


Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of actual `stripping' on this disc.

For that, you'll have to get her episode on "Lap dancing and Entertaining Your Man" - where all of the disrobing is un-covered. (Get it?)

Since my personal goal was to create a little routine to use at home, this disc did teach me how to add style - while traipsing around the room. But info on when, where, and how to disrobe, unfortunately - was unabashedly absent!

Also missing were some actual or finished strip performances (also found on `Lap Dancing') which would've made the video a lot more entertaining - and a lot sexier -- in case my husband wanted to watch! (Hey, it never hurts to preheat the oven.)


But thinking in terms of effect - what's really absent from this video is a little "raunchiness."

My frame of reference (for stripping), like many of us, comes from the local strip clubs I've visited - where patrons sit immediately around the edges of the dance floor. Everyone's hope, of course, is to receive some `special attention' from the dancer - such as being enticed directly with a specific portion of her body - especially "you know where" - in exchange for tips generously given.

Unfortunately, Fawnia's instruction appears to be preparing us to compete (on stage) -- in those artistic (nude) dance competitions she's won in her past - rather than to replicate the uninhibited sexiness one sees closer to home in much more intimate settings.

It's those `nastiest' of movements that are missing from this video - which are the ones I really want to incorporate into my own private show!

To conclude, this video is great for learning to move gracefully. But being `raunchy' - is a lesson you'll have to garner on your own!

Fawnia says it herself. "If you're a visual learner this video will be a lot of help to make you a very successful entertainer." And that's probably the real problem with this video. There's little explanation of how best to do the move. When teaching the hand on butt move, she doesn't even start at a sideway's angle so that you can see where her hand is. And once she finally took it at a sideways angle she was going into an entirely new move.
I have to say a lot of Fawnia's outfits during the travelling sections were so gaudy they were annoying. Definitely a distraction from trying to watch her feet move.

Way better than the lap dance dvd, at least they are clothed (in some RE-DONK-U-LOUS costumes..NOT HOT!) and definitely teaches you how to move on the floor. Some of the little dances are straight up 80s like the little hop and tap thing that gets you across stage, I am sorry but I won't be caught doing that...I pretty much just fast-fowarded the DVD which is cheaply set up in like a Fetish store so its almost like a home video...learned a little but not enough to buy it again!

I was dissapointed in this video. I thought it would be more instructional than it was. This DVD was more of a show DVD. It showed the girls dancing and pretty much doing the same thing over and over again. If you are looking for step by step guides, this is not for you!!!

my wife decided to treat me to some of these exotic moves after studying this amazing DVD. and i have to say, she did quite well...actually, that's an understatement. we had to put the kids to bed early, if you know what i mean. ;) anyway, i watched it too and Fawnia is a great instructor but even better to watch. She's extremely sexy and makes you want to learn. I highly recommend buying this for your girlfriend/wife if she is open to it. it really can bring you closer together. man, she really knows how to strip and fawnia helped.

I order this dvd thinking it would give me some pointers on how to spice up my love life with my husband,like being able to learn how to give my husband a good private dance or show. But nothing!!!!I thought it would teach me something!!!
It seemed like it was filmed back in the 80's, had horrible music, and was really boring. I never would have wasted my money on this dumb whatever you want to call this art of exotic dancing dvd.

This video was not very helpful for real women. Was sleezy, not sexy styles, and seemed more a mens entertainment movie, not instructional for real women.

This video, and it's sisters in the series all look like they were filmed in the garage. The information was not overtly harmful, but the presentation was so bad, I had to turn it off. They're all in the trash, now, where they belong.

I had two vhs tapes on these that I almost burnt a hole in my VHS player playing. Very good instruction and she's hot too. Makes you feel good about yourself and gets you in the mood. I'm getting them on DVD now.

There was nothing EXOTIC or Erotic about this dvd. It was very slow paced. The performances were plain and mundane. I would have been better off learning dance moves and floor work by watching female hip hop artist music videos on cable T.V.
