All of these dances, like the people with different backgrounds that compose the population and hot dancers, mesh and merge here to create this wonderful melting pot we call Panama.  That is one of the beautiful aspects of this country, for such a small country, it contains so much of the best eroticism of the rest of the world.

I leave you with a glimpse of Panama´s future, the children- in step with the traditions of the past.

Happy New Year and keep dancing, even if it is not in the night clubs!

Emigrants in the new world carry this tradition of the maypole in to the United States.  And just like basketball and baseball, pole dancing was created in United States.  During the early day the Great Depression, traveling fairs become very popular entertainment. 

They had small tents with a stage, where dancers were feature as the main attraction.  While performing erotic dances, the dancers would shake and grind their bodies sensually while using the poles, which were holding up the tent, for support.

Pole dances become increasable popular en Canada during the 1980’s.  >From Vancouver comes what we see today in strip clubs and gentleman’s club.  And spread all over the world and as far as China. 

Today, pole dancing is not only for strip clubs and gentleman’s club, women embrace their sensual selves and enjoy taking classes to learn to perform a pole dance and other erotic dances.  However, most women don’t run home to dance for their man.

Its origins date back to the immigrants that were brought from Africa during the 18th and 19th century and they established in Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Martinique.

These black immigrants were mainly used during the construction of the Panama Canal for hard manual labor and tasks, and due to their muscular tone and strong physical appearance they were mainly hired to perform intense physical labors.

Although these men were undergoing extreme emotional loss due to the fact that they were hundreds of miles away from home and their families, they seemed to always find time to rejoice, sing, laugh, talk, and dance to the drums of their native island tunes. 

It is an extremely erotic dance that in most cases represents the foreplay, flirting with the other person, but not getting too personal. Men pretend to gawk in front of the ladies, trying to get closer to their skirts, closer to the body, but women keep them apart.

Congo dances can get really hot, because it is actually an art of exotic dancing, where the dancers perform a private dancing for the partner, using the body as a seductive weapon with erotic moves, dancing when the drums guide the hips and the thighs, while the rest of the village just stares like voyeurs, surrounding a circle, a get together of physical love.
