The Movement Of The Feminine with Kerry Anne Aldridge and Jennifer Pearce
Changing women through The Movement Of The Feminine — that is what sisters Kerry Anne Aldridge and Jennifer Pearce do! You’ll hear their journey that led them to owning the Sheila Kelley S Factor in San Francisco. Here’s a little snippet of what happens at S Factor, “This is a practice that heals our relationship with our erotic body and in turn begins to heal our erotic body’s relationship with society. Through this work we turn on the brilliant feminine essence that exists in all of us. We celebrate it. We revel in it. And as we see it in ourselves and each other, we bring that light to every relationship we have, to the world around us - and to the world at large.” Here’s what I say to that: A-M-E-N!
The Power of the Pole with Sheila Kelley
Sheila Kelley is an actress (The Good Doctor, L.A. Law), author and body whisperer. She is the founder and developer of S Factor, a feminine movement practice for women. Sheila and Christine talk about her new documentary, “Strip Down, Rise Up,” the power of pole dancing and sensual movement, and their mutual love of the feminine.
Because Strip Down, Rise Up, the new Netflix documentary on pole dancing, is a must-see
“Find your erotic body” says Sheila Kelley to her pole dancing students at the beginning of the documentary Strip Down, Rise Up available on Netflix Italy from February. Director Michèle Ohayon tells us about the rebirth of some women through this sporting activity that is often the victim of prejudice and confused with lap dancing. Sensual dance steps performed with the help of the pole allow you to come into contact with your body and regain your sexuality.
‘Strip Down, Rise Up’ Review: Pole Dancing Without Polemic
In “Strip Down, Rise Up,” an attendee of S Factor’s beginning pole dance course admits to her fellow students that the class is nothing like what she thought it would be. “When I showed up, I wasn’t scared,” the woman tells those gathered in a circle. “Now I’m a little scared.” In her welcoming remarks, S Factor founder Sheila Kelley promised that might happen. Whether Amber, the pert, fit newbie, will stick with the L.A. studio’s six-month course remains to be seen.
Your Most Empowering (and Sexy) New Year’s Resolution: Take a Pole Dance Class in the Bay Area
Of all the pole studios in the Bay Area, S Factor offers, in my opinion, the most unique experience.
S Factor is more than a pole studio…they offer a vocabulary for meeting and owning your erotic body, and give you the skills to go deeper inside your sensual self, separating your public face from your private one.
If that sounds intimidating, don’t worry: S Factor offers what they call “Journey classes” to introduce you to the vocabulary and bring you up to speed so that you can find comfort in the process.
