Classes of all levels are being offered at gyms alongside people spinning on a bike and running on a treadmill.  For those who prefer to learn in a more private environment, you can have a trained professional come to your home with a portable pole and teach you personally.  There are even direct sales companies out there that offer parties (like Tupperware or Taste of Home) to demonstrate and sell private pole dancing lesson services in the home.   This is becoming a very lucrative industry.

If you are comfortable enough to participate in the pole dancing classes at the gym, it is a great social activity.  Members of the classes encourage one another and give each other tips.  There are women of all ages taking pole dancing classes/   Members of the classes even contribute music to the classes.  Erotic music choices sometimes really get the conversations going.

Want to get started but not ready to hit a class?  You will need to get the essentials first.  Decide whether you want to start with lessons or on your own.  Searching on the internet for “private pole dancing lessons (city name)” should lead you to professionals in and around your area offering these services.  Find out if they bring their own pole or if you need to supply one of your own.  If you decide to start on your own using a book or video, perform a web search for portable dancer poles.  They are usually $99 and up.  Be sure follow installation instructions carefully so it will be as safe and secure for you as you learn more advanced skills.  Videos about pole dancing can also be found on the internet.

You never know, you may find a new fitness routine or just a sexy way to meet new friends.  Either way sounds like a winner!
