Yes this is a real thing.<\/p>\n

Apparently they do \u201cpole fitness\u201d while listening to contemporary Christian music. You can\u2019t make this stuff up.<\/p>\n<\/iframe>\n\u00a0<\/p>\nPole Dancing for Jesus<\/span><\/p>\nKristin Kane \u2013 FOX26 News<\/p>\nHOUSTON \u2013 Pole dancing as a workout is nothing new. Over the past few years, independent studios have popped up all over the country, but there is a very unique type of pole dancing class here in our area.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s called Pole Fitness for Jesus.<\/p>\nYou\u2019re probably thinking: \u201cHow on Earth can you mix pole dancing with Jesus?\u201d<\/p>\nAccording to one studio in Spring, you can definitely mix the two.<\/p>\n\u201cI was actually a dancer for 3 years, probably 7 years ago or so. I did it for awhile, it\u2019s not something I felt very rewarded with, but to each his own and it was just something I decided I didn\u2019t want to do anymore so I decided to take the part that I liked about that and bring it here but it\u2019s so much fitness, I don\u2019t teach women to be strippers,\u201d said owner\/instructor of Best Shape of Your Life Crystal Deans.<\/p>\nEvery 2md Sunday of the month, Crystal Deans invites female church-goers into her pole dancing studio.<\/p>\n\u201cOn Sundays, we do pole fitness for Jesus. We do the upbeat contemporary Christian music because people have to bring their church program to get into the class, so we basically are just continuing the whole worship thing here.\u201d<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfoxhouston.com\/dpp\/news\/local\/110316-pole-dancing-for-jesus\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes this is a real thing.
