Club: 59%
Gym: 11%
Either, no preference: 29%

Selected comments:

"I usually teach and learn in clubs, but the one disadvantage, and it's become a bigger disadvantage for me as time has gone on, is the lack of mirrors in clubs - consequently, I've got some bad habits and I have no bloody idea what I look like on a pole."

"i think the setting of a club with the lighting/wine aspect is good but we definitley need mirrors in the venue.."

"The lessons I go to take place in a cocktail bar upstairs, which is a fairly nice and pleasant area, if a little bit lacking in space. There is a mirror, but I'm usually concentrating too hard on not falling off the pole!

The real problem is the sleazy men who sit in a certain place where they can peek underneath the black screen that hangs down to block us from view. Creepy."

Shameless Plug

Go visit my newly-relaunched site The Pole Dance Directory. Ok it hasn't been re-launched as of today, so you get a sneak preview. This site was originally set up in 2006, but adding all the links took too much work. So now, 'users' can add their own details. I plan also to include articles, pole dancing news, and so on. It will be 'live' again soon. Any suggestions for content and/or graphics welcome.

Another New Poll

This time - what's your choice of venue for pole dancing lessons (both of which are fully private with no spectators):

In a club with low level lighting, where you can wear heels, and have a glass of wine; or

In a bright airy wholesome gym.

Or: either, the environment doesn't really matter.
