Pole Dancing Class
August 27th, 2008 by sam
Ernest Hemingway brought the Spanish Civil War to life in “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” Edward R. Murrow delivered reports on World War II. In short, every generation has had devoted men and women willing to make personal sacrifices in the name of journalism.
At TeachStreet, we don’t have a newsroom, nor do we have a printing press. We do, however, have a blog. So the other day, armed with an RSS feed, a video camera and an unrelenting desire to surface the best classes Seattle has to offer, I took one for the team. With our resident videographer, Kyleen (married to this guy) I went to the proverbial front lines: pole dancing class.
Although I didn’t sit in on class, Kyleen did, and she was kind enough to get some footage. Afterwords I popped in and spoke with Krisha, the owner of Pole for the Soul, a dance studio over in Ballard, and got to hear from some of her long time students about their pole dancing experiences.

As it did for me, I’m sure the video will change your perception of pole dancing classes. After all, they’re not for men. They’re not about seedy night clubs and elicit sex acts. They’re for women. And they’re about female bonding, gaining self confidence, and having fun.
…and yes, I’m pretty sure a Purple Heart and a Pultizer are each on their way!

Hello Ladies,
I know you don’t know who I am, but AWSOME video! Looks like so much fun…of course when you have a man to perform for :)!

Ronnesia, when Kyleen and I showed up at Krisha’s class the other day, we took a vote as to whether or not I should stick around.
And although I won’t disclose who voted for what, I will say that the consensus was unanimous.
…oddly, it was 7:1 in favor of “all girls.”
