“I have a lot of students that come here because they want to get in touch with their sexy side,” says Jennifer “Jem” Nicoll, owner of the Montreal dance school and entertainment agency DG Entertainment. Enter the doors of her studio and find yourself transported into a Moulin Rouge atmosphere where you can learn to spin and flip on a pole like an exotic dancer or unleash the burlesque performer in you.
While you will get fit in the process — holding yourself up on a pole requires some serious strength and strutting your stuff burns more calories than you think — what separates DG Entertainment from other schools that offer pole fitness classes is the fact that the main focus is always the sexiness factor rather than just the workout. Jem doesn’t shy away from referring to the classes as pole dancing rather than pole fitness. Besides burlesque and pole dance, the studio also offers belly dance classes.
During a class, whether you are playing with a feather boa, running your hands on your body suggestively or throwing in a hair-flip or two, a sexy attitude is encouraged. Feeling shy? “I feel that at first women are a bit intimidated to take a class but once they are here they love it”, says Jem, who keeps the groups small to cultivate a cozy and non-threatening setting. Women (and rarely, a man or two) of all ages, backgrounds and body shapes quickly feel comfortable enough together to forget about their inhibitions.
Very comfortable environment to learn, exceptional teaching and coaching staff. They are easy to reach, and have exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend DG entertainment if you want to get your sexy on!!!
Having a great time learning how to mo e my body & feel empowered as a woman. Fun, sexy fitness oriented - self-confidence booster too! Don't be shy, try it today. In my second session of Burlesque dance and am thorough ally addicted. Instructor is fun, knowledgable & talented.
Joined her school randomly and met some really awesome ladies!! Her classes were super fun, she re-explained stuff for slow learners like myself and was very motivating...i suggest doing the bi-annual shows as well (themes are always AMaZING) :)
Love it! Jem is both knowledgeable and emphatic. There is energy in the air and the environment is pefect to release your body, your mind and your soul to dance, dance and dance ... and just have a wonderful time! For the competition: spend time showing what you have that is good and not talking bad about others ... and let people decide and make their one choices! There are all kinds of tastes and they are all just wonderful! Thank you "diversity"! Thank you Jem! Thank you DG! Thank you competition to allow me to choose what I prefer! Let's dance!
