Pole Dance - Where Strength & Sensuality Meet!
Teri Hatcher and Carmen Electra have given props to the pole for their killer bodies... growing up in New Orleans they aren't hard to find... even Oprah has shown the new trend on her show... looks easy enough, I thought, right?! Well, I prepared myself to be a part of the latest and hottest exercise trend around and enlisted two of my girlfriends to share the fun (or humiliation - wasn't sure which one would come first). I'm so glad that I did! We took the Pole Intro class at Fem 4 Physique (website will be provided below), which is the first class required before progressing into the more advanced (and fun) pole classes. This class orientates you to the pole and the basic moves and transitions with the pole, focusing on safety techniques and just loosening up and having fun. What a great time we had! The hour flew by along with any inhibitions any of us felt when we first walked into the studio. We lucked out and had the class to ourselves (thank goodness for the cold streak here in Orlando!) aside from our amazing instructor Mary and another more advanced student (the girl stood on her head! I wanna be like her when I grow up!). Learning the basics proved to be trickier than we thought.. learning first the “fireman” and “cross-over”. After a while we got the hang of it and realized just how much of a workout it is when you are on the pole for a solid 2-3 minutes straight. Whew! I think the three of us would all agree that we’ll be back, as it really is an amazing workout. It’s also just plain fun to do with your girlfriends. Now I’m fairly convinced that the insides of my thigh will resemble an eggplant but the price paid was worth it. Thanks Kelli and Jasmine for being so adventurous! We will definitely be back for more advanced classes in 2010.
Me in practice mode.. cheese!
Actually on the pole swinging like a pro!
**Disclaimer - I promised the girls I wouldn't post their photos.. if I get permission I will share some of them. They did a fantastic job! : )
