Today's Groupon offers a pole-based exercise more effective than 1920s pole sitting, more energizing than pole-vaulting, and more sensual than polenta: for $35, you get three drop-in pole or non-pole classes at Zensual Dance Fitness (up to a $75 value). This Groupon is only valid at the North Dallas location on Preston Road.

Zensual's fitness and pole-dancing classes are designed to boost body awareness and self-confidence through physical fitness and the art of sensual dance. Combining elements of yoga, ballet, gymnastics, and seductive movement, Zensual's trained instructors emphasize technique, dance, and proper posture. For dancers already accustomed to busting a move at the local firehouse, Zensual offers a special pole-flight fitness class (a $25 value per class), which is designed to build on pole-dancing skills by incorporating new moves that encourage muscle development, strength, and endurance. While anyone is welcome in the pole-dancing level-one class, beginners or those returning from hiatus to physical activity may start with one of Zensual's non-pole classes (a $20 value per class). These classes help tap into an inner sex kitten or sex platypus while honing dance skills without use of a prop and include Sexy Sculpt and FloorPlay (coming in December), among others.

Zensual's classes offer a safe, classy environment for dancers of all makes and models. Pole-dance fitness does not involve nudity, but participants are encouraged to wear clothing that leaves their arms and legs bare to ensure minimal wind resistance and a good grip on the pole.

Ladies under 18 must have written permission from a parent or guardian.
