Inner Goddess Studios in the News
Bringing Sexy Back to Fitness
Pole dancing is another popular fitness trend, and one that has moved somewhat away from its exploitative associations with strip clubs. (Even prim and proper domestic diva Martha Stewart tried a pole-dancing workout with a fitness expert on her show last week.)
"I think a lot of us want to express our sensuality and our sexuality in a safe way," said Rachel Bagnulo, owner of Inner Goddess.
Bagnulo's Harrisonburg studio offers a suite of group classes in exotic dance for women. It's strictly off-limits to men and women younger than 18. Privacy is emphasized to encourage female camaraderie, and so that participants can feel comfortable to explore the sensuous moves in various dance styles, including lap dance, burlesque and pole dancing. The studio also offers Zumba and belly dancing.
Meet The 'Inner Goddess'
Pole, Exotic Dancing Classes Offer Sexy, Fun Way To Stay Fit
Rachel Bagnulo is inviting women to meet their inner goddesses.
Bagnulo, a former travel agent, opened "Inner Goddess Studios" on North Main Street in Harrisonburg in August, where she offers classes in exotic, lap and pole dancing, as well as some hip-hop classes and burlesque.
"Telling people what I do is a great icebreaker," Bagnulo said. "It was a blessing to open this studio and it's getting a little out of control now. We had classes in January filling up in November."
Inner Goddess Studios Teaches Dance in Different Way
In past semesters, local dance studios in Harrisonburg have provided students with the opportunity to take classes ranging in style from hip-hop and jazz to ballet, belly dancing - and pole dancing? Inner Goddess Studios has opened its doors on South Main Street for women 18 years old and up. The studio's motto is "Every woman has a sexy side. come meet yours."
Spin Your Way to Sexy
Pole dancing is NOT as easy as it looks! My arms ached for days - I could barely hold a door open and I think I feel my arms getting shaky as I type this. But the experience in this class is atypical because it doesn't feel like your normal workout. Jess and I had so much fun learning that we totally forgot we were actually exercising at the same time. So skip sweating it out on the treadmill and try something new!
