Jenna Dewan is known for her incredible dance skills — after all, she got her big break as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson and performed with Kelly Clarkson and Ciara before starring in film and tv shows. Now, Dewan’s latest role is taking her dance talents to new heights in the form of pole dancing.
Not only is pole dancing a great physical workout, but it can also help build confidence and boost positive body image, according to Traskos. Pole classes are typically safe spaces that foster friendship and bonding, she added. "Participants feel like they have accomplished something great they never really thought possible."
If you've been looking for a way to spice up your workout routine, consider signing up for a pole dancing class at a studio near you.
