Pole dancing offers a pole-based exercise more effective than 1920s pole sitting, more energizing than pole vaulting, and more sensual than polenta. Partake in cornmeal-free movement with today’s Groupon to Pole Trix, located in the lower level of the Recreation Centre at Royal Roads University. Choose between the following options:

• For $39, you get an eight-week pole-dancing class (a $125 value).
• For $99, you get a two-hour pole-dancing party for up to 10 people (a $275 value).
  
  

Pole Trix’s cadre of experienced instructors helm unintimidating, supportive pole-dancing classes and parties that help students of all abilities unleash their inner sirens. Amid a studio equipped with seven poles, fledgling cylinder-orbiters spin through eight weeks of classes capped at a small number of students to ensure that everyone gets their own pole and personalized attention. Bunny Boot Camp employs strength training, stretching, and cardio exercises to sculpt wilting tummies into ironclad abdominals, and Chair Charmers teaches students a chair dance to sweep even the most standoffish barstools off their feet. Each class—from Beginner to Advanced Pole—is held once a week, and pillar pedagogues encourage participants to proceed at their own pace to facilitate a comfortable learning experience. Peruse the online schedule for class times and dates.

Alternatively, patrons can organize a group of up to 10 friends or cross-training firefighters for a two-hour pole-dancing party hosted by one of Pole Trix’s adroit teachers. Merrymakers acquire new skills and strengthen the bonds of camaraderie without the hassles of finding a jeweller to engrave friendship handcuffs.

Though Pole Trix sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
