Awakenings Pole Dance Fitness, Philadelphia

Shiny poles serve as each student's dance partner during Awakenings' pole dance fitness classes, which are designed to, "awaken your inner goddess". But the classes aren't just about learning the art of seduction. By mastering graceful moves on the stationary apparatus, students get a full-body workout that combines elements of flexibility, dance, and strength training. Aerial arts classes deliver similar benefits, but instead of using a pole, students lift off the ground with the help of silks and aerial hoops that allow them to perform acrobatic poses and inversions in the air. Awakenings also offers classes for those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, for example, Heels dance classes, Back bends and splits classes, Acro classes and Burlesque style classes as well.
