Though wrapping yourself around a tree might stop a lumberjack from sawing it down, wrapping yourself around a pole will distract a lumberjack, enabling you to steal his saw and cut down every tree in the forest. Today's Groupon teaches you tree-defying moves: for $10, you get your choice of the Introductory Sensual Dance and Pole Dance class or the Introductory Video Vixen Dance Workout at Sedusa Studios (a $25 value). This Groupon is good at Sedusa's three locations in Campbell/Los Gatos, South San Francisco, or Walnut Creek.

Sedusa Studios' women-only studios sport expansive dance spaces with a dozen 20-foot dance poles and a troupe of highly experienced instructors. Step lively in a 60-minute muscle-toning Introductory Sensual Dance and Pole Dance class, which demonstrates basic moves and positions to spark dancer/pole camaraderie. The Video Vixen Dance Workout class sneaks strength-building exercise into a sensual clinic in hip shaking inspired by the moves in current music videos. Booty-pop like the stars during the one-hour class while whittling thighs, abs, and glutes down into a seductively statuesque form.

Both classes, guided by experienced female teachers, combine fitness and flirty dancing in a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere, lending ladies the knowledge and know-how to tempt a partner, enjoy a night at the club, or spice up an upcoming PowerPoint presentation.
