Pole Dancing For Jesus In Texas (VIDEO)

A local Houston Fox affiliate had an interesting report recently on a hot new workout class: Pole Dancing For Jesus.

It's a women's only class that happens once a month and you have to bring your church program to get in. At that point, it's pretty much what you'd expect: your average, run-of-the-mill pole-dancing class powered by Christian rock music. Women are encouraged to develop a positive self-image through the class, celebrating the body God gave them.

And now we'll go celebrate the hysterical blindness God just gave us.

Thanks to Lizz Winstead for spotting this.

jaja, I love it we just need pole dancing for Jews and pole dancing for Islam. A bit more stripping and even I would go to a church.

Throw in Jesus' name to make it more legit? Adultery for the Lord? pole dancing, ok fine. But I am truly tired of the line "women feel more self assured about their body and themselves yada yada" by activities that are traditionaly FOCUSED on performing sexually for men. Jesus does not care about pole dancing. He is one of those guys who loves us just the way God made us.

I am so tired of people not being able to do things for themselves and always pushing it off on Jesus. Poor guy... He is responsible for so much. There's nothing wrong with pole dancing. I wouldn't be able to get in that class. I don't have a church bulletin. I don't go to church. Perhaps they are trying to make women feel safe; assured that no perverts will be watching. Sounds weird to me. I'm sure Jesus could care less about pole dancing or dancers.

Why is it "for Jesus"? If you want to pole dance,
just do it, and don't hide behind religion.

How do they know Jesus wants them to pole dance for him?

As someone who came to pole fitness through the very-tame environment of a women's fitness studio, it heartens me to hear about a religious institution being so open-minded. Pole fitness is not the stuff you see in strip clubs. There is a whole underground world of amazing performers, aerial acrobats. And, trust me, I've seen pole dancing transform women's "temples." Remarkable workout, and anyone who purely associates pole fitness with shame and sordidness has clearly never tried it. Most competitive pro polers are former gymnasts and ballerinas. Those who condemn pole dance as a burgeoning art-form because of its strip club origins should also ban jazz and tango from their consumption, or risk hypocrisy.

(Check it out; this is a "pole tango": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWxcVyBRecE&feature=player_embedded )

I can do that. LOL....LOL...LOL....

Although this article is hilarious I do realize that what they are doing is more of an acrobatic training class. I wish I could still swing on a pole like that.

What's next? Lap Dancing for Jesus? Fan Dancing for Jesus? Isn't there an Old Testament prohibition against dancing?
