Exotic Dance Wear

Here at French Kiss Fitness, our students love the Exotic Dance class.  The room is completely dark with black lights reflecting off of the dance wear that our students sport each week.  If you've never attended one of our exotic dance classes, here are some things you should know:

Glowing is best!  Wear white and neon colors that will glow in the black light.

Heels make it fun.  Wear your favorite high heels, or go for it and buy some bon-a-fied stripper shoes!  There are several shoes on the market now that glow under our black lights.

Let your hair down.  Many of the moves in our exotic dance class allow you to whip your hair and feel sexy.

The more skin the better.  The great thing about our exotic dance class is the fact that nobody can see you.  In the dark, the only thing that glows are your clothes.  Your skin will look tan and flawless.  Don't be afraid of the sports bra and booty shorts.  You'll look great and feel great knowing that all of your flaws are disguised  by your awesome outfit and the glowing of our black lights.

We try to provide our students with fun clothes they can buy for class.  This week, we have brand new Ribbon Tie Side Shorts by Bad Kitty Exotic Dance Wear.  We have them in neon pink, white, red, and turquoise.  They are $24.95.  Check them out!

Syracuse update!

Our Syracuse studio is alive and well!  We have a full class schedule running 5 days a week including pole classes, jazz, hip hop, zumba, pilates, and more.  We are waiting for an engineering permit that allows us to hang silks from the ceiling.  That permit is very close to being complete.  Aerial silks classes will be back before you know it and we will all be getting our exercise on with the fabric!

Thank you for your continued patience.

Pole move of the week

Master instructor, Becca Butcher, demonstrates our pole move of the week.  This move is for our level 3 and 4 pole students.  It's called the "Pike Spin".

Take it away Becca!

Be Bendy

For those who don't know, we have a spectacular class called "Be Bendy". The class was created by Charlee Wagner. She wanted to provide students with a way to become flexible. Not just flexible....really flexible!

 She has the most unique stretches I have ever seen. You won't be sitting in splits or touching your toes in this class. You use partners, gravity, walls, floor, chairs and all kinds of crazy techniques that are very unique to Charlee.

Wow! I don't show you this picture to discourage you. Not everybody wants extreme flexibility. Most of the students in class are doing the class because they love the way stretching makes their bodies feel.

 Even if you aren't trying to be the next circus contortionist, here are some great benefits of flexibility:
-Decreasing your risk of injury 
-Improve athletic performance 
-Improves Posture 
-Reduce risk of lower back pain
-Increased blood and nutrients to tissues 
-Improved muscle coordination 
-Enhanced enjoyment of physical activities

 So I ask... Why not aspire to be a little more flexible?

Tuesday's 7-8pm - Ogden

Ass Class

Today's Ass Class was pretty intense! Most of the class is done outside in the elements. We use our surroundings to get the best workout possible. Today, we did frog hops, parking garage stairs, tree hugging squats, and lots more. The ladies today were so much fun! We had lots of laughs, a ton of sweat, and the buns were on fire! We snapped a photo after a very intense set of jumping squats.

Ass class is offered:
Monday's 8-9pm (Ogden)
Thursday's 11am-12pm (Syracuse)

Class Etiquette

At French Kiss Fitness our class reservations are done online. You reserve your space through our website for class and you can also see how many people are registered for that class. Recently, there has been a problem that has presented itself. Students register for classes that they think they MIGHT want to take. Then, the day of class, they decide for one reason or another that they are too busy to take that class. Thus, leaving an empty space in class.

This is more harmful than you might think. When a potential student is looking at our class schedule, they might think that our studio is too full for them to join because every class is full. In reality, it's the semi-committed students who are holding a place in class, only to cancel an hour before the class starts. In fact, our classes are really only half full.

I really hate to implement a fee for this problem, but it has to be done. Starting July 1st, the following fee's have been put into place.

No Show Fee - $5 Reserving a place in class, but not coming.

Late Cancel Fee - $3 Cancelling your reservation less than 3 hours before the start time of the class.

When you give us less than 3 hours notice that you won't be attending class, we aren't able to notify other students of the open spot in class. It basically creates an empty space in class that we aren't able to fill.

I appreciate your understanding. Please be considerate of students who are eager to attend class. If you aren't able to attend your reserved class, please remove yourself from that class as soon as possible. It helps out the studio, your teachers, and fellow students.

Thank you!

Student feature - Tracie Day

Tracie has been coming to the studio since February 2012. That same month, she signed up her daughter for classes as well. The two of them can be seen at the studio almost 5 nights a week and they are die hard dancers/polers/aerialists. Not many mother/daughter duo's come through my doors and this duo is certainly one of my favorite!

When Tracie first started coming to the studio she told me how her boyfriend didn't like her pole dancing. I couldn't imagine why any boyfriend of a gorgeous and confident woman wouldn't like the idea of her taking some fun classes that might also spice up the relationship. Needless to say, he's not her boyfriend. Tracie has moved on to a man that can handle her sense of adventure!

Here are some pictures that Tracie sent to me recently:

In this photo, Tracie is showing off her moves underneath a bridge. We don't plank, we chopper!
