All levels - professional level

Do you feel a draw towards the likes of Dita Von Teese or Christina Aguilera in "Burlesque (2010)"? Do you also have an interest or love of pole dance? This pole class combines old school seduction with new school moves to get you feeling sexier, stronger, and more confident than ever!
