Opening day for winter season Is scheduled for Nov. 20. Strip Off pounds With pole dancing By Amy Roberts CANYONS RESORT The lights are dimmed, the music pulsing, the room filled witrr women wearing strappy stilettos, shimmying across the hardwood floor and dancing around a 16foot brass pole. But these women are not exotic dancers in a strip club. They're stay-at-home moms, teachers, lawyers, accountants, cancer survivors, doctors - even a bishop's wife - all looking for a good workout. "Pole dancing is a great way to strengthen your core and upper body," says Lizz Schofield, owner of Studio Soiree, a pole fitness studio now offering classes in Park City. "We have women of all shapes and sizes, from 18 to 70 years old. They come for different reasons: to lose weight, add something new to their workouts, socialize with friends, spice up their relationships, and some are just plain curious." According to Lizz, pole dancing hits the exercise sweet spot - combining strength and resistance training with cardiovascular exercise. She estimates women burn anywhere from 600 to 900 calories in an hour of pole dancing. "The dancing part is where you get the cardio benefits," she said. Then there's pole tricking, or doing specific movements to balance your body weight against the pole, such as the fireman spin. "That's where you get the weight Canyons opening day is scheduled for Nov. 26. For more information, visit www.thecanyons.com or call 888-CANYONS.

And while she has hundreds of students who have lost significant weight, pole dancing is not just about fitness. "It empowers women. They don't just get strong physically, they get strong mentally too. It builds confidence." Parkite Kate Rogers, who started taking pole-dancing classes a few months ago, couldn't agree more. "I've lost about 15 pounds and have gone down two full pant sizes, I'm in the best shape of my life and feel strong and toned. But it's more than that. I also feel better about my body. I feel sexy and sensual and more confident." Rogers is a stay-at-home mother of four and admits she was skeptical at first. "I'm LDS and pretty conservative. There's a stigma attached to something like this. But I was tired of going to the gym and my usual routine. So I decided to try pole dancing, and I couldn't be happier. Who says exercise can't be sexy?" It's stories like this that have helped Lizz's little pole project grow at a staggering pace. Just a few years ago she started by teaching private classes in her dining room. Then she opened a studio in Sugar House, and eventually answered the increasing demand with classes in Riverton and now Park City. Lizz leases space a couple times a week at the Park City Yoga Studio on Bonanza Drive. She plans to add classes as demand ately shut me down." But slowly the conservative tide has shifted. Studio Soiree is now the largest pole fitness studio in the country and, ironically, Utah of all places is the unofficial capital of pole dancing, in large part due to Lizz's efforts. She founded the Pole Fitness Association, which acts as a governing WJule she has hundreds of body for pole professionals. students who have lost The group is even lobbying significant weight, pole to add pole dancing as an Olympic sport. dancing is not just about And despite our state's fitness.
