Shameless Sex #79 The Power of the Pole Dance - with Ellice Apostolos
Ellice Apostolos - owner of Santa Cruz's premier pole dancing studio, Steel and Grace - is back to talk about the art of the erotic dance, and how we can apply it to sexy time with our lovers. This interview was recorded immediately after April and Amy took an advanced S-Factor class, so not only are they all charged up from the sensual practice, but they also get testimonials from a few participants, including Badass Boss Mentor Meghan (see info below).
