Pole dancing lessons via Cambridge University
If it’s Monday, it’s time for some pole dancing lessons at Cambridge University. For only 2 pounds, you can escape exam stress.
The Blue Room, more commonly used for debates (Winston Churchill, the Dalai Lama and Theodore Roosevelt are some of the personalities who held a speech here) is now the place for… another range of activities.
As a Cambridge Union spokeswoman said: “”We are of the opinion that classes like these are a way of empowering women, as well as being a fantastic way to exercise and have fun together with other women. If an intelligent, independent woman wishes to learn a particular form of dance in respectable surroundings, we see nothing degrading in that.”
Juan de Francisco, the Union Ents Officer responsible for the classes, reinforces this idea: “The classes are for fitness and well-being, and are not intended to be sexual. High heels are actually discouraged – the instructor has told me that attendees should wear trainers or go bare-foot.”
Well, if they offer a diploma at the end of the classes, there will be much more Cambridge graduates for sure!
But what about you? Can you think of a better way to fight exam stress?
