    That's rather funny. I mean - there's nothing actually wrong with it when you think about it - but the immediate reaction is 'OMGWTF?'

    My initial reaction is "Why not as long as there is nothing sexually explicit about it."

    well as long as they arent undressing or doing it for an audience i cant see the problem. i meen spinning up and down on a pole isn't erotic or sexual loaded in it self, its the undressing part that is. so the counter argument is, strippers do it, so its bad!! you know most strippes, do some form of dance too, that hardly makes dancing in it sel bad.
    you might as well ban tango and other sexual loaded dances, if you find this bad...

    One of the secretaries in the office does it for keep-fit/excerise purposes, and goes to evening classes. Apparently, although there are some girls there that look like they might be doing it for err... "extracuricular activities", the majority of attendees do it purely for the exercise, and that is the way the class is taught.

    Alas, we haven't been able to persuade her to give us a demonstration yet, but she does say it extremely difficult to hang upside down from your legs. (She keeps falling off)

    I don't see anything wrong with it either. As long as there is nothing sexual in its nature.

    I hear strippers eat food too... we should stop children from doing this also since it's obviously sexual.

    Maybe they should just call it pole climbing instead of dancing...

    I think it's OK as long as the girls have to wear clear 8-inch platform heels and the guys black chaps :lol:

    I have to agree with Aik here. It produces a really big "What the hell!?!" at first glance (well, up through fifth glance, TBH), but there's really nothing that can be picked out as 'wrong'.

    I think that essencially there should be nothing wrong about it but deep down it does worry me. If these are public classes I would not like to think about the kind of attention it might draw from perverts. Although it is an innocent exercise for the youngsters, it is indeed a well know exercise for adult entertainers. I am positive that if I had a daughter I would never let her attend those classes.
