~Unveiling Confidence~

Many who are followers of mine on Facebook probably have noticed in my status' and on the news feed that I am involved in a new hobby that is truly out of character for me. I would like to take this space in my blog to give a better understanding what this new hobby has brought to my life and the lives of others-And to also allow it to encourage other women who are interested in creating a new confidence and self-empowerment within themselves to be the most enticing wife/future wife for their man.
I was introduced to Dancing Queen on my very own bachelorette party. I wanted to do something different that wasn't the typical bar/scavenger hunt/wild and crazy party. So, I figured that I would be with most of my closest girl friends and we were all going to do something we had never done before. WE were going to do a strip tease/pole dancing class!! I mean, I was getting married in a couple of weeks! At first, I wasn't sure what to think of it all, but I knew I was going to share a lot of laughs and memories with my girls. I had such an amazing time and soon after joined every class offered by Dancing Queen.

 Dancing Queen was started by an incredible woman of God whose heart was to empower women to be confident with themselves and to feel secure in their own bodies. Her private studio is a beautiful, comfortable, and safe setting where every woman coming in will feel at ease. Dancing Queen was started with the desire that each student will grow in strength and confidence to feel like a Queen. (Esther 2:17) I have been honored to be able to be apart of the Dancing Queen staff. I was trained under the owner and have been certified in Level 1 and 2 pole.  I am currently teaching Pole Fitness classes as well as a Level 1 class that will begin next Thursday (1/20/2011). It is an 8 week class and I will teach you all of the Level 1 spins along with many other core building moves and routines. It is not only a great workout, but alot of fun! Dancing Queen offers many different classes such as : yoga, belly dance, bachelorette/girls night out/birthday parties. And we are always open to suggestions :)

What I have learned by teaching and training for Dancing Queen is how to be comfortable and confident in the body God has given me. To learn and adjust to seeing myself as a beautiful and wonderfully made woman. I have broken down walls that I have built and insecurities that were created by an abusive relationship. I have worked with many women who are facing and have faced many struggles in their lives and marriages and have come to Dancing Queen to make a new start and to strengthen their marriage by first building their confidence to recognize who God designed them to be. Often when people hear the words "pole dancing" "strip tease" and "intimate dance" they have a negative view and are immediately turned away. I can say that I was once like that, until I experienced the integrity and became a part of the mission Dancing Queen strives to carry. It also doesn't hurt that my confidence has grown and become a healthy influence to my marriage.

I encourage all that are interested and curious to atleast check it out. Coming from someone who has never stepped into a strip club and has grown up very innocently, I encourage you to break walls and gain a greater self-empowerment within yourself to be the best wife and future wife you can be. You can find more information on www.dancingqueen.biz and for the most update schedules and classes offered you can add us on facebook: Boutique D'Amour.  I would love the opportunity to teach those interested and share more about what I have gained from this new found "hobby" of mine.

 Queen Esther (a normal, plain, modest, submissive woman) was able to save thousands and to influence the king by her confidence, boldness, and beauty. She felt strong in her faith and stood apart from many others. My hope is that as a woman of God you feel bold, confident, and full of empowerment to be all God has designed and created you to be.
