a pole dancing rant


First off, I have to say, I effin love pole dancing. Forget every idea you have about pole dancing and strippers and focus on how fun and what a great work out it is. My arms are toned, baby!

Okay now that is out of the way, I just have to rant about these 3 girls in my class.

They giggle. All. The. Freakin. Time!!

In Level 1 I could understand it because, hey, you've never taken a class like this before and it's gonna take some time for you to find your comfort zone. You're not used to gyrating your hips and feeling sexual.

But halfway through Level 1 they were STILL giggling and acting stupid. I know pole dancing isn't supposed to be serious. You're supposed to have fun. But I feel like they're wasting their time here. By the end of Level 1 they weren't any more confident and sometimes they didn't even try whatever new trick we learned that week. Sometimes they wouldn't come up with an answer for our fun little questions of the week.

Then I found out they signed up for Level 2.

Why continue the class if you're not even going to put your all into it? Guys, I'm not saying that when I go to class I put my serious face and I dance the hell out of my pole. I also sometimes feel dumb doing new spins but after time I get it right and I feel great. I feel effin sexy. Yet these girls continue onto Level 2, and unfortunately, still in my class, and they're just goofing off in the back.

Did you know class costs $160? Why spend that much money if you're not going to put any effort into it? Towards the beginning of Level 2 one of the girls admitted she never jumps up to hang on the pole when everyone else is working their arms. She just pretends to. Another one just rolls her eyes and half asses her spins. The third one, well, actually she's okay. She's just part of the Giggling Girls.

A friend mentioned maybe they just take the class so they can say they are taking the class. Well if that's the case that's pretty lame. Why continue on past Level 1. That's a pretty expensive way to sound cool. What are they going to do when we get to Level 6 and graduate? Will they just giggle and half-ass their way during their individual routines?

Today I found out they signed up for Level 3. I'm unsure if it's for the same class I signed up for. I should probably add that they completely skipped the beginning of class to sign up. They could have easily signed up after class - no one was going to take their spots if they waited another hour and ten minutes. But I'm sure they did it so they could use it as an excuse to skip out on warm up/cardio.

I'm just so tired of having them in my class. It's like they don't care. Like I mentioned, you don't have to be serious about pole dancing - we all do it for fun. But at least put some effort into it and act like you want to be there! No one forced them to go.

I really hope they registered for Level 3 on a different night, lol.
