So this morning I plucked up the courage to go to Princess Studios in Marina Banus all by myself. 4 people let me down for 1 reason or another, Im sure all genuine, although maybe they were a little apprehensive like myself.
Most people who have lived around Puerto Banus for a while will have heard or seen Suzy the Pole Dancer around or in magazines & openings of night clubs and beach bars. Suzy is one of the girls that own (I think or part own) Princess Studios.
So, when you hear Pole Dancing, Burlesque, you may also think other things and assume what its going to be like and what the people teaching are like too.
So the free taster session was 11am till 12.30. As Im so English I was there at 10.55 thinking this was going to start ontime....oh no.
Lots of talking, lots of people that all seemed to be the different teachers and then finally some people for the taster session like my goodself.
It was actually about 12.20 before we started - and started off with watching a Pole Dance.
If Im going to be honest, I actually couldnt WAIT to get on the Pole...yeah I could do that, no problem....haha think again.
Its bloody hard and if you think pole dancers are just sexily dressed girls jumping up and down and twirling around a pole - think again. These girls are really strong and very talented! 5 minutes of that and I was knackered and peed off that I found it so difficult.
Next up was a quick aerobic session, followed by hoola hooping....of which,I also thought was going to be dead easy....Im telling you the teacher has it on very fine wires holding it up - watch out for them!
Then there was a bit of belly dancing with some shimmying followed by burlesque which I was very good at hahaha.
Then there was Anoulka (I think) who does Pop Princess Dancing and has danced with Kylie...she was lovely and I really enjoyed her class.
All of this and then ended up with sit ups and stretching which I just couldnt do.
A couple of the teachers doing the sexy stuff were in Short Shorts or knickers with tight tops and whilst other teachers were just normally dressed in loose excercise clothing.
To be honest if you are going to be doing Pole Dancing or Burlesque I think you would feel better and dance better if you think you look good too.
All in all a really good morning, all the other people were really nice too and there for the same reasons...to do some excercise but have fun too.
Theres loads of classes to choose from throughout the whole day. They have a really good special offer on at the moment of 100€ for 10 classes. Normally 15€ per class.

If you fancy doing something a bit different GO!!!
If I can walk in there on my own anyone can...Im pretty shy at things like this - honest!
I really hope this is a success as its done out great, the idea is great, they are really energized and just need more people to go and have fun.
They also do kids classes to after school and on saturdays and kids birthdays!
