No word on if patent leather high-heels come with the $70.00 per lesson class, but that IS how much parents are shelling over at dance studios in Canada.  The newest activity for children to enjoy there: pole dancing.  Owners of the studios say parents are demanding it, so they've created the "fitness" course for kids as young as 5-years old. 

I DO understand that there are cardiovascular and strength benefits... FOR ADULTS!  It can even boost confidence for grown woman, but how about sending your kids out to play to get some exercise?  Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think this is too much for a little girl to be doing.  Am I being a prude?
