Pole Dancing for Kids

Now don't get me wrong, I love Pole Dancing classes. I took my first class at Hype Studios in Hermosa Beach, CA.  It was a great way for to get over my inhibitions and to allow myself to really become comfortable with my sexuality. Not to mention the AMAZING workout!  I gained a new respect for those women who do the real pole dancing for a living. Not the cheapo places but the real ones like the ones in Vegas where it is an act.  The amount of strength it takes to do those tricks is incredible. I  recommend taking a class to everyone.....well almost anyone. 

I saw this first on The View and was a little taken back then.  While I am all for children's fitness, I am not really sure that this is the perfect venue for young girls. I am a former dancer and am very liberal when it comes to performing.  When the Single Ladies video came out I thought people were over reacting.  While some people saw sexually explicit movements, I saw incredible talent.  However, I can not seem to find the justification in this. Yes it is a great workout, I agree.  However, so is gymnastics. What do you think?
