Yes, I can pole dance. I can hear cyber giggles and guys going "yeah baby, can I come watch?"…read more Despite it becoming more acceptable as a dance form and not being immediately associated with strip clubs, it still has a bit of taboo about it due to it's colourful past. Maybe its best that way as it makes it sound more exotic. Its much more exciting than saying I treadmill lol. Bobbi's is one of the first and best pole studios in Australia, and a long-time associate of Miss Pole Dance Australia. The classes are fun, structured and most of the teachers are trained dancers (ie. ballet, jazz etc). There are a large range of levels starting off at beginners where you get introduced to dancing with the pole, then you graduate to intermediate levels (3 in total) where you start going upside down! The advanced levels are crazy! The number of bruises I've had are numerous (and in weird places) but worth it. Trust me :) There are also lap-dance and flexibility classes to compliment your pole lessons, where you get to let go of all your inhibitions! An important note is that this place is NOT sleazy in any way. It is a proper dance studio and in fact a lot of the 'tricks' you learn are acrobatic in nature rather is sexual. Its a fantastic workout and you develop great core muscles and strength in muscles you never knew you had! The staff are very supportive, as are the girls (and boys believe it or not!) who come to dance. Bobbi's is available either at Elizabeth St in the city or at Miranda. They even have branches in Perth, Singapore and Malaysia. Most of the girls wear pole shoes, and I recommend HIgh Heels in Surry Hills if you want to buy a pair. But bare feet or normal heels is fine when you're starting off. So check out the website and book a class. No giggling! :)

Ever thought of quitting your day job and becoming an exotic dancer?…read more You're going to need some training. This sport is less about being a stripper than you'd imagine. Pole dancing is pretty gosh darnn hardcore. You need stamina, strength and flexibility. You need patience and grace, and it helps if you can dance. Being more of a draught horse than a graceful elegant swan, I initially struggled with some of the moves in the 8 week, $190, beginner's course which is run by award winning Pro pole dancers. (YouTube search: Pole dance Academy's star performer, and I think owner, Shimmy, for glimpse) After a few weeks though, I had managed to learn several beginner's moves such as "The Chair", "The Stag" and "The Hook" I was taught how to "climb" the pole properly and that Britney Spears' music was practically made for this sport. We learnt a full routine to her song "Operator". I also learned that this is better than yoga for gaining leg flexibility and that Pole dancers don't just wear tiny tiny pants to look sexy. You need all the skin you can get to grip that pole. A blistered, calloused hand is a sign of your advanced standing in the pole world, and it's just about the only sport where it's actually easier in High heels. ( Most women start out shoeless, but as you progress, you'll find that swinging around a pole is enhanced by the heels) If you're keen to do something different, get some toning in your muscles and have a new skill to tick off your list, I recommend Pole Dance Academy's courses. You start at Beginners, then after you "graduate" ( you even get a lovely certificate) you move on to intermediate, and so on.. Dont be shy either, while most of the women are uber fit, it is still a sport for everyone. You can do it!
