Has anyone done a pole-dancing class?
Anyone WANT to do a pole-dancing class? Haha!
I've been wanting to go to one of these workout classes for a while, I think there's a studio in Bethesda. I only have a couple of girlfriends in the DC metro area, and none of them are interested. I thought it could be a fun nestie get-together if anyone is interested in meeting some other women in the area and getting a good, fun workout!
Re: Has anyone done a pole-dancing class?
I can't get in on a nestie group activity, but I'll say that I have done one of those classes before and it was SO much fun. And as long as you actually get into it and aren't shy about doing the moves it's a killer workout.
A friend of mine does the chair dance classes at the place over by Arundel Mills occasionally and she loves it.

I've done both with a group of friends--it is a pretty good workout (the pole class made my arms hurt for a week) but it's something I think can only be done with friends. You end up in some really strange positions and some attempts to be sexy are the least sexy poses you can imagine until you get them right. You need to be able laugh at yourself and not take it seriously but do it with some gusto.
DH and I are friends with the woman who founded Xpose (thought she no longer owns it) and she has pretty high standards when it comes to her instructors. They know what they're doing and make it fun and strive for a good workout with sexy connotations, not like you're being trained to be an actual stripper.
