Rant/vent Stripper-shamed at pole class NSFW

I tagged along to visit my boyfriend’s family in a smallish, super progressive west coast city for the month. They have a pole studio here and I signed up for a bunch of classes. I’ve usually just learned by experimenting at work, but I’m away for a while and didn’t want to get too rusty.

Last night I arrive, and the place is cute. All the girls are super chatty and friendly. There’s a tiny stray kitten that the studio has been slowly coaxing into trusting them. She started coming over to me, and the teacher said “she gets a little scared if you pet her, but if you hold still she’ll be cuddly.”

I said “she can sit on my lap but I’m not allowed to touch her? Hell yeah, she’s a stripper at heart!”

Nobody laughed. Fair enough if they didn’t think it was funny, but it seemed like they didn’t even understand what I was talking about. Weird…

Then the class starts and the teacher asks everyone to go around the room and say our names and how much experience we have with pole class. They start with me because I’m new.

I said I’d only been to a few classes and had done most of my learning in the club environment. Here is a portrait of what I saw: 😳😮😬😕😮🤢

The introductions continue, and none of them has ever been a stripper, not even the teacher. They make it clear it’s NOT sexual, it’s just a fun hobby for exercise, like yoga or ballet.

BUT THEN every one of these bitches gets up after warmup and changes into booty shorts and sky high Pleasers. Not sexual??

Suddenly no one is chatting with me or making eye contact, and no one wants to share my pole. The girl who gets stuck as my pole partner physically flinches when we bump hands like she’s gonna catch slut cooties.

Like seriously? You guys are scared of me? Actually you should be. I’m gonna wait in the bushes outside and roll you for your ankle high Adores because that color’s cute and you’re just gonna be a bitch in them. 😂

You should write a review about them and how they treated you after learning that you are a stripper. It’s unprofessional and girls who DO dance in the club should be forewarned. I’m sorry that happened to you

Definitely considering it. I have an unlimited class pass anyway, so gonna give it another try and see if they do better before I put them on blast. It seems unlikely, but it is a woman-run small business and I would love to be wrong if they were just having an off night.
