Once the exclusive domain of red light districts and blue movies, exotic dancing has become quite mainstream.

These days every gym, bar and university seem to have something dedicated to the pole.

But before you say you're over it, here's a new twist.

Polepeople, the self-described pioneers of pole dancing education, have collaborated with Soho's premiere gay membership club The Shadow Lounge to provide men the same opportunity to play the sexy fool.

Not only will gentlemen learn how to elegantly writhe out of satin knickers, but the classes are a great way to keep fit and flexible, as well as ensuring you are always the star of the dance floor. Finally!

The four week course, which welcome gay and straight men, promises to turn even those with two left feet into a professional Chippendale's dancer by the end of the month.

High heels and fire-fighter hat optional.
