Sometimes, late at night, firemen slip into heels and dance with their poles, spinning, dipping, and stripping away cumbersome fireproof coats and burdensome notions of masculinity. Get a fireman's acrobatic workout with twice as much confidence with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two pole-dancing, burlesque, belly-dancing, or stretch classes at Red Room Studio, located in Seabrook (a $40 value).

Red Room Studio's welcoming space encourages patrons of all fitness levels and genders to channel their inner powers of seduction and to engage in a fun, physical workout. Trained, gravity-defying instructors teach several levels of pole-scaling styles, including the introductory pole-dance class, which highlights the basics of stretching, walking, and spins. Those who would rather shake and swivel on solid ground can opt for Burlesque 101, which gets students shimmying with step-by-step choreography and a bevy of beautifying props. Properly prep bodies for slinky splits and sinewy spins during stretch classes, or harness the power of core strength and fluid muscle movement during sensuous belly-dancing classes.

All classes provide a lively and challenging workout to adults of all shapes and sizes, built upon the idea that building strength and confidence is the key to unlocking one's natural aura of sensuality, as personified in the sinuous, self-assured sauntering of the mighty meerkat.

While Red Room's team of warm and encouraging instructors are there to provide assistance and enhance technique, dancers are given the freedom to move at their own pace. To ensure the utmost privacy and comfort, scheduled classes are reserved for participants only, and guests are not allowed. Home-fitness poles can be purchased from the studio for dancers tired of practicing their sultry routines at the local bank or fast-food drive-thru.
