The Dancer Sex Position

Burning Man Sex PositionSlow Dance Sex Position

The Dancer sex position is deeply intimate and takes a bit of leg strength to pull off well. It shares a lot in common with the Ballerina position, minus the extreme flexibility requirement. Give it a shot alongside the rest of our orgasm-friendly sex positions!

To get into the Dancer, both partners start standing upright, facing each other. Lift one leg while your man supports it at his side. If you've got the flexibility and strength, you can wrap it around his waist instead.

With your leg wrapped around him, he enters you and begins thrusting. He can help keep you steady by holding your waist with one hand while supporting your raised leg with the other.

Her Role In The Dancer Position

You'll find the Dancer deeply intimate for both of you. Direct eye contact and close physical holding come naturally here. To deepen the intimacy, try wrapping your arms around his waist, or even better, sliding them under his arms to grip his back and shoulders.

With your leg wrapped around him, you can pull yourself closer, though this tires quickly. Beyond that, most of your energy goes toward balancing on one leg.

His Role In The Dancer Position

He'll use one arm to hold you close and the other to keep your raised leg supported and wrapped around him. He handles all the thrusting here. Thrusting horizontally by rocking his hips can throw off your balance, so a better approach is bending his knees for more of a vertical thrusting motion, which makes it easier for you to stay steady.

With his free hand, he can spank you. More on erotic spanking.

He might also try some anal fingering.

Notes On Trying The Dancer Sex Position

Several of my students who've tried the Dancer position with their partners shared some useful feedback. Here's what came up:

• Balance comes much easier standing on your full foot rather than your toes, so have your man spread his legs and bend his knees to lower himself to your level instead of lifting you.
• If this position is new to you, expect to only hold it for a minute or two at first.
• Remember you can switch standing legs if one gets tired.

Sean's Thoughts On The Dancer Position

I think the Dancer is worth trying once or twice, though it's not one of my personal favorites (not that I dislike it, either). A variation I enjoy is having both partners balance on one foot while wrapping the other leg around each other. Give it a try and see how it feels for you!
