Karen Kahler, of Roseville, and Carmel Lloyd, of North Ryde, have swapped their gym memberships for pole dancing.
They are among dozens of North Shore mums in their 30s and 40s attending women-only pole dancing classes each week at Miss Fit Dance Studio at Artarmon.
Ms Kahler, a mother of five, has been going since December while Mrs Lloyd began six months ago.
“It lets you be girly and it’s good for your self-esteem,’’ she said.
Mother of three Mrs Lloyd, whose favourite move is an upside down crucifix manoeuvre, said pole dancing was a great way to stay fit.
“It stimulates your fitness and builds up your core strength,’’ she said. “And we do performances at the end of each term, which is challenging, learning a routine.’‘
Instructor Sarah Thompson said women were not intimidated by the stigma of pole dancing and its association with strippers.

Kendra thought bigger breasts would mean a fatter wallet during her pole dancing days in San Diego.
“I thought of an idea of how I could make business even better: bigger boobs!” she wrote in the tell-all. “Pamela Anderson was on the radio talking about saving animals or something, and all I could think about were her boobs… I thought, I’d do even better if I were bigger… and I felt like they would make my look and feel even sexier.”
The Baywatch star’s voice was all the push Kendra needed to go from a small B to a full C—and she did her homework to get her “dream boobs.”
“Just hearing Pam’s voice was inspiration enough,” wrote Kendra, who took home a whopping $2,000 on her first night working at Cheetah’s strip club in San Diego.

The media world is no longer defined by boxes – radios, computers, TVs, laptops, iPhones. It’s defined by products. In the traditional radio world, that means unique information, unique perspective, and unique events.
Ricky Bobby’s Dad in “Talladega Nights” says, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” That is absolutely true in media. When news breaks, it spreads faster than a case of the clap in a Thailand strip club. The question of where were you watching TV when… isn’t germane anyone. It’s who texted you with the news. One year ago, Michael Jackson died. I don’t know anyone who found out via TV or radio. TMZ reported it via Twitter, and like 100-million dominos simultaneously falling, it was retweeted to everyone under 30. Then they called their parents to let them know.
