Emily Boberg-Courts is opening probably the most unusual fitness studio Bainbridge has ever seen. Ready? It's intended to teach Island women (sorry guys!) exotic dance and . . . wait for it . . . pole dancing. Yes! Pole dancing--but not the kind we used to watch at Bada Bing!--actual athletic pole dancing. Here's what Emily writes about the founder of Dolphin Dance and what she intends to do in the coming years."Kristen Titko, the creator of Dolphin Dance, has been dancing for over 30 years, and Exotic/Pole dancing since 1990. She studied Ballet, Jazz, Modern Dance, and Gymnastics. Kristen became an exotic dancer while attending college and pursuing a career in acting and modeling. She was featured as a pole dancer in the hit movies Showgirls, and Exit to Eden. Her career came to a screeching halt when she became suddenly and inexplicably ill at age 26. Kristen had opted, as most women in Hollywood have, to get saline breast implants to enhance her appearance. After spending a decade of terrible and debilitating illnesses, in the spring of 2005 Kristen finally stumbled on the information she needed to prove that her implants were the cause. In June of 2005 she had them removed.
Dolphin Dance is Kristen's creation in the wake of her new found health. It is her way of reaching out to women of all types to teach them that sexy is a state of mind. It is not about how we look, or how our bodies are shaped, it is about how we feel that makes us sexy. Kristen hopes that through her classes women will gain confidence and self esteem so that they never feel inadequate in any way.
The Dolphin Dance style is based on her own personal dance form and experience. While dancing in this very sensual way Kristen discovered what it was like to truly feel sexy and beautiful, and she hopes that you will too!
Exotic dance is a free-form of sensual, fluid, sexy dance, and is based on the dance moves commonly used in gentlemen's clubs. The important thing is that the dancer is emotionally in-tune with her music, her body, and her movements. The dance is slow and controlled, and therefore and excellent workout! Dance, in any form, is sensual, but exotic dance has a heightened sensuality where the movements are exaggerated. Exotic dance is an excellent way to get in touch with your inner beauty, and awaken your sexuality. It is also a fun and exciting thing to bring home to your partner as it can really spice up your relationship!
Emily has been a Dolphin Dance student since November of 2006, after actively searching and being fortunate to find an exotic dance studio in Columbus, Ohio. From that time forward, Emily took all of the classes that she could – exotic, pole, lap, fusion, etc. In January of 2008, she was given the opportunity to train intensively with Kristen to become an instructor with Dolphin Dance.
Through Dolphin Dance, Emily, who is an accountant by trade, was able to get in touch with her sensual side in a safe, supportive, and woman-centric environment. Not having a background as a dancer, Emily was originally known to comment about her pole-dancing, "Don't worry – it's not sexy when I do it. But it is a great workout!" Dolphin Dance gave her a chance to overcome these inhibitions to be and feel both beautiful and sexy in a safe space. She also found that the self-confidence she gained through her classes translated to other aspects of her life – including making her a better, more confident auditor!
After instructing many lovely ladies in Columbus, Ohio, including various family members and co-workers, Emily is excited to offer Dolphin Dance in the Pacific Northwest. She can't wait to share with more beautiful women what she has been fortunate to learn – the feeling of Dolphin Dance's mottos, "Sexy is a State of Mind" and "Every Woman Deserves to Feel Sexy!"
