My dad came to my bachelor party in Las Vegas. He wanted to contribute to the experience but not get too much in the way. He told us to dress in basketball shorts and a t-shirt, and get ready for a workout. We walked from Palms Place where we were staying for the weekend, across the street to a pole dancing studio. We didn’t know we would be pole dancing until we were handed waivers, and walked into a large room with at least 15 brass poles. First we had a warm-up, then learned several pole dancing tricks, plus how to climb a pole. Who ever was making jokes at the start of the class was not laughing by the end. It was very humbling to learn what strippers do so effortlessly. My dad picked a great activity for my bachelor party, and I’ll forever be grateful. My friends and I all had so much fun! I ended up buying a pole and both my wife and I practice pole regularly. We’ve even joined a studio together in Los Angeles!
