I am – Dancing in Olive Oil

• 20 years ago

This woman gets naked, dances in olive oil and it is considered art. I once got naked and danced to grease once at a rodeo event…for some reason I got escorted outside of the men’s washroom by security. I think it had to do with the fact that I had an erection…..those were the days.

Pictures and Story of Olive Oil Dancer after the jump

A dancer has spoken of the challenge of dancing naked on stage while having olive oil poured over her body.

A total of 17 litres of olive oil are poured on Chilean dancer Lisbeth Gruwez during When the Lead Man is a Woman.

She told Las Ultimas Noticias: “The olive oil is alive and sometimes it doesn’t let me dance. I have to have a lot of concentration and technique to beat it.”

Mrs Gruwez dances and acts for 50 minutes as 22 bottles of olive oil are slowly poured on her body.

People on the front rows have to protect themselves from the oil during the show at the San Gines theatre in Santiago.
