Reduced stress. Increased muscle tone. A boost in self-confidence. These are just a few of the benefits of pole dancing, an alternative form of fitness that titillates gals because of its tantalizing blend of fitness, fun, and allure. At Modern Day Fitness, the certified pole-dancing owner and instructor Ashauna Higgins shares the sultry art with students of all abilities through routines that incorporate spins, shimmies, kicks, and signature walks. She strives to change the negative perceptions about pole dancing in her classes, emphasizing the artistry and empowering aspects of the discipline’s graceful moves. Beyond this, she helps students to strengthen their upper bodies and core muscles as they perform complex inversions and fluid chicken dances.
