    I've never tried the classes per say. But I do some pole dancing on my own ( I have a pole in my basement, a real one, not a fake, those are dangerous) and I usually manage to keep my heart rate up to 165+ while doing it, work up a great sweat and it really is great for your upper body strength. It might not be such a great cardio workout while your still figuring it out. I find it to be tonnes of fun. It helps if you have strong hands and lots of patience, and don't mind falling down a bit. I can only do a few tricks, because my upper body strength isn't that great. You'll find the lighter and stronger you are, the more amazing things you can do with it. Especially if your fearless. I would love to take classes, but there are none out here. You can check youtube for some great instructional videos. I would say try it a few times, don't expect any miracles the first class or so, just go and have fun. If you really find you love it, a good pole is between 200 and 400 dollars. A great all over body cardio and strength work out. Whats not to love?

    I know someone who used to do that for a living, an she an another friend of mine talked about putting a pole up so she could teach the 2 of us who havnt been on stage dancing :) I was told it is one HELL of a work out.
    I live in the bible belt (southern us) so I doubt there are classes around here. If there were, I would totally go haha

    I have! I have! I absolutely love it. Not only is it an amazing abs and upper body workout. You really gain confidence in yourself and sexuality. I've been telling everyone (including my mama) to take a class. You will love it!

    It's very tough, look up "pole dancing olympics" on youtube, the moves they perform are liken to summer olympic routines.

    Agreed, its very challenging on the body....I leave with many bruises and very sore muscles in places I didn't know they existed!
