Is Pole Dancing Just Another Fad?

Gyms and pole dancing schools are reporting a huge surge in enrolment, supposedly inspired by model Kate Moss's sultry pole performance in the recent pop video by White Stripes and the film "Closer," in which Natalie Portman plays a stripper.
"It brings out the raunchy side in everyone," says fellow pole apprentice Sam, 29, who works in children's TV by day and frequents fetish clubs by night, a pastime hinted at by her six inch perspex and PVC heels.
"It's a way for people to put the spice back into their marriages," she added. "Unlike an aerobics class, this is something you can take back and share with your man."

There are some clubs here that are holding the pole dancing classes, though I've not heard of any co-ed gyms with it yet!
Apparently they're taking off BIGTIME... a gf of mine at the gym was telling some of the lads there that we had both signed up for classes... she's just a tease!
I didn't know anything about it until one of them asked me if I'd started my dancing lessons and whether we actually strip... I was like wtf?!
I can't see wanting to do a group pole dancing class myself... private maybe!
Last year it was belly dancing that was all the rage... just another fad I dare say.
