Pole dancing offers a pole-based exercise more effective than 1920s pole sitting, more energizing than pole vaulting, and more sensual than polenta. Go for a spin with this Groupon.

$19 for a 90-Minute Weekend Pole-Dancing Workshop ($40 Value)

The instructors at the Let Me Make You Blush weekend pole-dancing workshop will teach students a new, more sensuous routine including all new floor work that will get you easily transitioning from on and off the pole. Workshops are held at 11:30 a.m. on most Saturdays. See the booking schedule on the website.

Blush Pole Fitness & Dance

The perception of pole dancing is changing. When Maureen Metzger and her business partner DJ Hamilton started Blush Pole Fitness & Dance six years ago, Maureen says, "people thought [the instructors] were strippers." Since then, she's seen attitudes adjust as pole dancing went from taboo to a possible Olympic sport. Maureen equates pole dancing with aerial arts, on par with performances seen in shows such as Cirque du Soleil. She leads a series of classes and workshops that focus on upper-body and core strength or hone in sensual spins and dances. "You can be sexy and sensual," Maureen says, "and it doesn’t have to be tasteless . . . I watch Dancing with the Stars, and I think that is way more sexual than anything we do."

Occasionally, she still has to spend some time fighting inaccurate stereotypes, including an episode in early 2012 that involved inviting Jim Stingl of the Journal Sentinel to studio for a fact-finding mission. But mostly, Maureen and DJ concern themselves with empowering women to be "strong physically and emotionally." There comes a time, she says, when "you stop feeling sexy, you age, you gain weight, you get so busy with other parts of your life. . . I think we lose [that] and [pole dancing] reminds us to be women." She credits pole dancing as a vital ally in boosting her self-esteem during a double mastectomy in her battle against breast cancer.

And though Maureen is the first to tout the power of pole dancing, she is also one of the first to undercut some of its weightier connotations, much like a doctor who uses a stethoscope that squeaks. "[We're] totally willing to laugh at ourselves," she says. "Nobody is taking this too seriously." The lighter mood, in particular, helps welcome shy students, who Maureen and DJ witness transform into "strong, confident, sexy, and feminine [women]."

The Groupon Guide to: Anxiety Dreams

While most dreams are entirely meaningless pageants of nonsense, psychologists agree that on very rare occasions a dream may symbolize anxieties you face in your daily life. Consult this dream-interpretation chart to figure out what exactly it is you're worried about:

Dream: Your teeth are falling out.
Anxiety: You are worried about money, usually not having enough of it, or even more commonly, having far too much.

Dream: You are being chased by someone or something.
Anxiety: You are anxious about being too popular within your peer group of someones and somethings.

Dream: You are back in high school, but you're only wearing your underwear.
Anxiety: You are anxious about what fashion-forward outfit to wear to impress old classmates at your biweekly "Back to High School!" party.

Dream: You are falling from a great height.
Anxiety: You are worried that you are almost 30—or even older than 30!—and have never proved conclusively that you are unable to fly. Will today be the day?

What are some common anxiety dreams and what do they mean? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
