Every day you take care of yourself by ensuring you receive the proper nutrition, rest, exercise, affection, fun, spirituality . . .
What do you do about your sensual nature? Never gave it much thought? We all need outlets for various reasons. We need outlets for our creativity and intellect; to challenge ourselves; our sexuality; our spirituality; and to stay fit and flexible. Do you know your sensual nature needs an outlet as well?
Pole dance classes offer you an opportunity to forget your inhibitions, self-consciousness and restrictions while giving your body the exercise it wants. No one is judging - allow yourself a chance to explore and enjoy your sensual nature. Every woman has her own individual sensuality. You can embrace and celebrate yours! Just because you want to take pole dancing lessons, doesn;t mean you have to become an erotic dancer.
Studios In The Exchange and A Pole New Experience! . . . Winnipeg’s newest upscale event venue, features a beautiful, spacious, dance studio with six poles: a fun and private environment for women to express their sensuality. SITE currently offers pole dance lessons, stretch and strengthen classes and parties for bachelorettes or any occasion.
Regardless of your weight, age, or ability, you can enjoy this. Age is an attitude; ability is training and practice; and weight, well, who hasn’t been in angst over their size and weight? But weight is not the issue, it’s the strength and flexibility you have, or can quickly develop, to support your body and control and direct your movements. Pole dancing is an activity that can be adapted to make it as challenging, or not, as, you want it to be. You can gain stamina and strength, particularly in the core area of your body; develop flexibility; tone your body; and build circulation, in an atmosphere that is encouraging, supportive and fun! The clothes don’t come off, but the inches and inhibitions can!
Pole dancing is also kind of awakening! If you choose to treat yourself to one of our classes, I’m so excited for you, because you are in for something special! Whether you are doing this to spice up your relationship, as a surprise for someone special, as an aerobic activity, or something you want to do just for yourself, you will feel a new kind of freedom. You will be more relaxed in your day-to-day life because you will become more comfortable in your own body, regardless of your age, size or shape. You will feel a new kind of confidence - something that goes deeper than abilities and appearance - you will feel and emit a natural radiance!
Come and find out for yourself just how refreshing pole dancing can be as an aerobic activity, a dance activity, a creative activity, and a sensual activity.

I had a blast pole dancing! I learned I had more strength and flexibility than I knew. It’s a great one-hour workout and the best part is the instructor. She’s very encouraging, friendly and down-to-earth. I will definitely keep going.

Pole danc
ing classes are good for anybody, no matter your size. I am a bigger woman and felt comfortable in the class. My size didn’t matter. Anyone who’s looking to have a good time and gain confidence should definitely try pole dancing. I highly recommend it.

I got into pole dancing because I needed a distraction in my life. I just broke up with my boyfriend, I was down on life, and my girlfriend decided I needed to have some fun. We took the class together because we
wanted to get into shape, have fun, and let’s face it; the idea of pole dancing is hot! Pole dancing was a perfect way for me to start feeling good about myself again, get into shape, and to build up my confidence. The class was so much fun and it has definitely spiced things up in my personal life.
- Kelly T.
Pole dancing is about fun and confidence! It is a riot and requires neither grace nor talent in order to have a great time! The instructor is clearly passionate about her work which adds to the excitement of the hour. Pole dancing is a fun reminder that you can be sensual at any age, at any level of fitness ... it’s all in the attitude, and pole dancing gives you a little secret that translates into that sensual kind of confidence that shows. If you are still unsure, come watch a class and you will be hooked!

When I heard about Studios In The Exchange Pole Dance Class, I said, "Of course I’ll join". Meanwhile I was thinking, yeah right, "me pole dancing? I don't have the body for that." My theory in life was, once you’re a mom all the sexiness is gone and there's no time for it anyways. So, I went on the website and discovered it was not what I thought pole dancing would be at all. First of all, there wasn't a weight restriction. I didn't have to be a stripper and didn't have to have a perfect body. To be able to make up your own class of your closest friends and the price being just right I thought “What do I have to lose? A few pounds I hope. If everything else fails, at least ill have this to fall back on, ha-ha. In the first class I was terrified, so many questions going through my head and a lot of insecurities. The worst part about it was, my outfit shrunk, my body just didn't look the way I imagined it and the thoughts of people laughing at me was scary to think about. I left that first class feeling good about myself. To have people cheer you on is the greatest feeling in the world. The atmosphere was perfect and it was a creative and fun night out with the girls. Throughout all the classes I learned a lot about myself, not only physically, but emotionally too. I have learned that I don't need a banging body to be sexy; as long as I feel sexy, I will look sexy. I now have the drive to exercise a bit more and it can be fun doing it. I guess to sum this all up in a couple of words, my experience was awesome, and I never expected to receive as much as I did out of this class. So thank you for everything!

I was getting tired of my regular gym routine and looking for a new form of exercise when I joined pole dancing at SITE. Now that I've started, I love it! I can tone my muscles and explore my sensual side. Pole dancing has become useful for fitness.......and play!

Pole dancing is a fun way to improve fitness and help build confidence. It helped to improve my spirit and has benefited me physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
- Melissa M.
I had a great time. This was much more physically demanding than I expected! A great workout! Carole is so graceful and capable and she is very relaxed and accepting as an instructor - no pressure! It was fun!

Had I known what pole is capable of doing for a person I would have started long ago. But, it's had that stigma that good girls don't want to do things like that, or at least, let anyone else know they do. My question is what's wrong with being sensual and expressing sensuality? It's part of who we are. We'd be a lot happier if we expressed our sensual side more: I know I am! On all levels. I feel beautiful! I feel free! More tolerant. Less stressed. More charitable. I have more strength; and let me tell you, strength is empowering! There's nothing like having control over your body. It makes me feel strong and healthy and seeeeexxxxxy. I have my flaws, too much here, not enough there, getting older, there's always something. But what pole did for me was allow me to see, feel, and express my inner beauty. People tell me that they love to be around me because the energy I emit makes them feel good! What a compliment!

Excellent instruction (and) great feedback helps build up
your confidence - you really understand. Great fun with
lots of inspiration from the other women in the class.
Awesome time, I’m looking forward to continuing on to
complete the other levels.
Keep up showing us how, Carole!
