Back when I was in college, I was part of a dance show. Rehearsals were three nights a week, and would last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Regardless of how good a shape you were in, the constant rehearsing would take a toll on your body. It's not uncommon for your knees, back, shoulders, etc to start hurting. Since I had massage therapy skills, I had a lot of the girls running to me asking for quick massages during the breaks that they have.
Everyone had great camaraderie, so it was not uncommon for people to sit around joking, playing around, and just having fun. Tickling was common place, to be honest. Whether it was during warm-ups, rehearsal, or breaks, it didn't matter. Someone would get tickled, it was just a matter of who and when. Below are a few incidents that popped into my head while flashing back - I'm sure I will have others to share as I remember.
During one break, I had a girl named Mary (about 5'6, short brown hair, dancer body) come over and ask me to help work out a few kinks in her shoulder. She laid on her stomach, and I straddled her back and started massaging and working out a knot. I don't remember what was said, but she took a jab at me with one of her comments. This didn't bode well for her, as she was already pinned, so I just responded with "what was that?" She quickly gave the same response and started chuckling. Since I already had her in a vulnerable position, I took my index fingers and quickly jabbed her under her arms. She IMMEDIATELY gave out a squeak and pulled her arms down, which was actually bad because she pinned my fingers under her arms. At this point, she realizes she's in trouble because I started wiggling my fingers under her arms. Her squeaks turned to laughter, and the more I dug my fingers in, the more it turned onto belly laughs combined with high pitched squeaking laugh. this lasted for a good 30 seconds to a minute, each time sarcastically saying "are you going to take it back? are you sorry?" before finally letting her out of her torture. I got punched on the shoulder for my part - seemed worth it though.
A few weeks later, I was sitting down doing homework when Mary laid down, her feet near me, just taking a break. She coaxed one of the other girls to give her a massage, so Mary was pinned at this point. Realizing I'm right by her feet, I figured I would have some fun. So I took the top of my pen and ran it down her foot (she was wearing green socks at the time). She quickly kicked her foot up in the air and slowly let it back down. Of course I did the same thing, same response, only I hear "who's tickling my feet? Stop it!" Of course I didn't, and she kept kicking and trying to cover one foot with the other. This only went on for about 15 seconds, just enough to mess around with her.
During one rehearsal, I was partnered with a girl named Denise (5'8 black girl, great body). During one rehearsal, we were goofing off. We were supposed to do some weird move where my right arm fully extended, wrapped around her body. So my immediate reaction was "then I put my leg behind hers and throw to the ground. GRRRRR!!!!!!" and gently swept her leg and threw her down. She busted out laughing and responded with "please - your weak." Immediately I responded with "oh, it's on" and gave her the claw right to her stomach. She immediately busted out laughing, swatting at my hand to knock it away. I kept going before finally getting yelled at to knock it off and get back to rehearsing.
During another rehearsal, Denise was wearing fishnets and no shoes. we were busting on each other, so we playfully took a fight pose and did a little "WATAAA!!!!" She decides she wants to give a karate kick in slow motion, full with sound effects ("Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa"). Of course, I grab her leg, making her hop around before she finally flopped onto the floor. She rolls onto her stomach in an attempt to get up, so I did what you would expect - put her in an ankle lock and started tickling her foot. She immediately screams "OH GOD NO STOP!!!!" and starts trying to crawl away. I had a great grip, so she wasn't going anywhere. I would put my finger in one of the holes on her fishnets, go "Your pantyhose is all ripped up. You have a hole HERE," and tickling for a few seconds before moving to another hole and repeating the process. She was at my mercy for a good couple of minutes - by the end her face was flush and she was tapping the ground.
That's all I can remember for now.
