Pole Dancing for Kids

A dance studio in Canada plans to offer a pole-dancing class to children.

The Twisted Grip Dance and Fitness in Duncan, British Columbia, will teach a Little Spinners class, starting September 29. The class is modeled on those offered in adult sessions, which include versions called Sexy Flexy, Pole Fit and Bunny Bootcamp.

Dance instructor Kristy Craig said pole dancing gives children a good cardio workout.

“There is nothing provocative. There is nothing sexual about it,” she told CBC News. “It’s pure fitness and strength and fun. I mean, kids love climbing trees. They will climb anything.”

Three girls and a boy, whose ages range from 5 to 12 years old, have already signed up for the class.

This map shows the U.S. Census Bureau’s most-recent estimates for health insurance rates by county. Darker colors represent higher rates of uninsured Americans under age 65.

I get a good chunk of readers from Wise County, so I thought I’d feature y’all.

  • It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come since 2001.
  • I bet both G.W. Bush and Obama are relieved that the families of the victims of 9/11/01 asked that politicians no longer attend the annual memorial ceremony.  That’s got to be such an emotional task for both presidents, year after year.
  • This little website was unavailable for a while yesterday because it’s hosted by GoDaddy, and Anonymous decided to hack them.  How did GoDaddy want to apologize to their customers for this inconvenience?  They asked us if we wanted to renew our domain and hosting account(s) and offered a discount.  Translation: We’re really not sorry, but please don’t go, instead of any refund, here’s a gimmick where we ask for more money and try to keep you from taking your business elsewhere.
  • ‘Monday Night Football’ just scrolled the name of the starters in both games yesterday. I guess they just wanted to do something different than the other networks that either have the players introduce themselves or show a graphic with their portrait.
  • Jerry Jones’ son-in-law that got caught cleaning his glasses is trying to profit from the exposure by selling eyeglass cleaning cloths called Jerry Wipes that will soon be available in Cowboys Proshop stores.
