STRIPPER 101 DESCRIPTION
Earn your pole dancing credit at Stripper 101--a women's only class at Planet Hollywood that teaches students the tricks of the pole dancing trade all in the name of good fun.

If you're a bit apprehensive before heading to the Stripper 101 studio at Planet Hollywood, not to worry.

Just wear something comfortable that makes you feel sexy, bring along high heels, unless you don't mind standing on your tip-toes, and leave your hang-ups at home. Everyone there had a different body shape, and were in different stages of their lives. One woman brought her grandmother! Most of the women were attending in groups -- some celebrating a birthday, others an upcoming wedding.

Before heading into the stripper dance studio, we would-be strippers met in the adjoining bar to tilt back a shot (or two). Because this isn't a true class (none of us were planning on dancing for tips later that night), loosening up and having fun is encouraged.

During the class, stripper apprentices are guided through an entire lap dance routine, step-by-step, by a working stripper. If you've ever been to a strip club (yep), the tips were true to what you'd experience there. When dancing for your man, don't allow him to touch you. You are in control. Sway your hips and swing your hair. Flaunt your best (ass)ets. And if your man is of the generous sort, encourage him to stick a bill or two in your bra (assuming you're still wearing it).

From the lap dance, you start on the stripper pole and exercise your skills. Instructors are patient and show us just how to gain momentum on the pole. The class teaches you enough to spice up your love life with a very lucky man.
