IT WAS a packed lunch for children at an English school who were treated to a pole dancing lesson as part of their Be Healthy Week.

The Sun reports around 1000 students aged between 14 and 19 from South Devon College in Paignton, on England's east coast, watched as Sam Remmer, 32, of pole dancing company The Art of Dance performed in one of the public areas of the campus.

During the performance, some students captured the moves on their mobile phones.

That certainly sends the wrong message!
Thanks for sharing with The Commune.
Peace

Well that's one reason to go to school
Beth G. Jan 31, 2009, 3:55pm EST
wow I bet a lot of parents were irate about that!
Nancy S. Jan 31, 2009, 3:55pm EST
Don't think I would approve of it either.

I watched the 3 1/2 minute video with this story. It was an artistic dance workout very similar to gymnastics on the rings or the parallel bars or the uneven bars. There wasn't much of anything suggestive about it. The female performer was very athletic. I've seen demos like this at circus shows. The only thing objectionable about it is the implication of the pole.

This reminds me of a story I once read about some easterners who wanted to include pole dancing exercises in weight loss gyms and included classes for senior citizens. The advantage of a pole for senior citizens in exercising was the stability it offered.

So she did not strip for them as well?

Sorry, I don't see the problem................
Nichole S. Jan 31, 2009, 4:15pm EST
I see no problem as long as there was no sexual suggestions being made

Is it any worse than the commercials on network TV? Is it any worse than the movies they show on network TV? If not, what's the problem? The exercise from that kind of dancing could be aerobic.

I'm sure people are going to say it isn't a big deal, they see worse things, but c'mon. In school? It's a waste of time, money, and education.

With that age group a sexual suggestion doesn't have to be made. I think that a teacher would have better sense than do something like that.

Toys R us had a pole dancing "toy" in the children's toy section last year. If it's a game for toddlers there's no reason why adolescents can't view it as exercise.
Dorine H. Jan 31, 2009, 5:18pm EST
Obscene. Totally unsuitable. Also very inappropriate of Toys R Us to offer such a toy.
Christine G. Jan 31, 2009, 5:21pm EST
I know that some people do use this as exercise.
Jen G. Jan 31, 2009, 6:06pm EST
That does seem to be a bit of an odd lesson to be teaching college kids doesn't it?

Awesomely wonderful. And since America is fast becoming a nation of service workers. They are going to need that training.
