In this episode, where the girls say "yes" to pole dancing, things are a little different, like they are in all of Season 2! Instead of both doing something they've never done before, only one takes on the challenge while the other stands in as the expert or "know-it-all"! 

For this one, Akumu says yes to doing pole dancing! She learnt some pole dancing moves under the guidance of Claire - who offers great pole dancing lessons - by the way.

The guest Yes Girl - Kate Ladash (Instagram- @kateladash) - is a wildcard addition to this challenge, meaning she also joins the pole dancing class held at Poles Apart Studio (Instagram: @polesapartstudio) in Nairobi.

Listen in for the fears, trepidations and triumphs of both Akumu and Kate as they take on this new skill and why Claire thinks everyone should consider trying their hand or rather, their hands, at pole fitness i.e. its benefits.

This episode also tackles the fact that pole dance as we know it, usually gets a bad rap and has been sexualised a bit too much. You'll also get answers to such questions as whether you can teach yourself pole dancing, how long it can take to learn, and whether pole dancing is actually difficult for beginners.
