Today's Groupon offers a pole-based exercise more effective than 1920s pole sitting, more energizing than pole-vaulting, and more sensual than polenta: for $10, you get a one-hour Try Pole workshop for beginners at XPolsé Pole Dance Fitness (a $25 value) in Fairport.

XPolsé Pole Dance Fitness offers fitness pole dancing to women of all skill levels. Start your one-woman cabaret after a one-hour Try Pole workshop. This introductory workshop teaches the sensual spinning basics, toning and sculpting muscle while burning marshmallow-bods in a red-hot campfire of aerobically effective dance moves. The studio's eight vertical poles provide a total-body workout, improving upper-body strength, streamlining flabby figures, and building confidence. Students should wear workout clothes and remove any jewelry, lotion, or oils from their person, leaving Crisco-vial necklaces at home.

Owner-instructor Jennifer D'Ovidio coached CYO cheerleading and has 15 years of formal dance training. With her expertise and today's Groupon to XPolsé Pole Dance Fitness, you'll be on your way to choreographing and performing your own risqué routines and Charlie Chaplin–inspired chair dances.

Participants must be 18 or older.
