Things to Do: Have Kids, Move to Australia

Family groups in Australia have expressed disgust over pole-dancing classes started for kids as young as seven. The classes in Sydney impart pole-dancing classes as strengthening and flexibility workouts for teens and pre-teens.

Critics have slammed the move and called them as "sexualizing young children" and risking exploitation by pedophiles.

Kids who have started taking up classes have defended the dance form, calling it an exercise. "It's really fun and you get to learn a lot of different moves. People think it's pole dancing but it's not. It's great exercise," News.com.au quoted 11-year-old Angela Perry as saying.

The girl's mother Julie said that pole dancing is being used as healthy exercise. "It's not slutty or anything. I've seen pole dancing on TV and they don't do anything like that here. It's building up her strength after she got ill and it doesn't put too much pressure on her muscles. She's much stronger, healthier and more confident," she added.

If there's one thing I know, it's that if you want a quality stripper, you really have to start training them young.
