Listen to this: Pole Dancing

If you’re like me, you’ve seen Pole Dancing on a lot of TV shows – For example on the Real House Wives Of Beverly Hills and Kendra Wilkinson had one in her house (featured on her reality show).

Pole dancing has always seemed silly and intimidating to me ( I freeze when I’m told to be sexy) but when I walked past a pole dancing class I decided I must try for myself and I enlisted Maayan to go with me. What we walked into, we never expected! There’s a serious, serious,world of pole dancers out there. Why? I still can’t quite figure it out, but I hope you enjoy hearing our experience! We’d love to hear yours!
