Wendy Reardon has worn many hats. From a writer for Hanna-Barbera Cartoons to a papal historian in London, she's journeyed far and wide in her career choices, but anyone who knows her now would say she's at her best without a hat on—after all, it falls off every time she does a graceful inversion. Having been an exotic dancer in Los Angeles and London, she wanted to share the fun, athletic, and confidence building aspects of the industry to women in Massachusetts, and, as a result, opened Gypsy Rose Exotic Fitness & Pole Dancing Lessons. She has even authored "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Exotic & Pole Dancing" and the studio has been featured by a large number of media outlets.

Here, she hosts small and personalized classes for participants, ensuring each of them truly learns the topic at hand. She inspired gals of all ages, shapes, and fitness levels to boost their confidence and strengthen their bodies, with Release the Kraken for beginners and Poultry in Motion teaching free-style swings, poses, and ankle swings. Her classes don't shy away from the more racy side of the art form either, with subjects ranging from striptease to couple's lap dances, complete with recitals.
