I LOVEEEE Steele Roses! I usually like to lift weights for a workout, but doing pole fitness will…read moremake you sore in places that you didn't even know muscles existed! It's such an amazing workout, and it's fun so you don't even realize you're working so hard! The owner/instructor is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing at the art of pole dancing. I like that she breaks down every movement and really forces you to focus on the details..this is important for both technique and safety! The studio is a bit on the small side, with only 5 poles. For classes, you have to reserve a spot and it's first come first serve. If you wanted to plan a group party, you could take turns on the poles. Each pole is both static and spinning and can be easily changed for other workouts. The room is surrounded by mirrors, so you can easily critique yourself and learn. The owner has an amazing selection of music and tons of props to use if you choose! The studio is decorated as a pole studio should be--fun and feminine!! In addition to just learning the art of pole dancing, you can take fun classes like the sensual workshop which teaches you how to be sexy and beautiful while doing floorwork!

I did Zumba today. ME! Erica B! I did an hour long class of Zumba. I know, you're thinking hell,…read moredoes she want a medal? Well let me inform you- I am the single most uncoordinated gal on the planet. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld- actually she puts me to shame. I've been known to trip over lines in the sidewalk, carpeting that is too thick and run into walls without any given notice. Yes, I did Zumba. I was never aware of what this actually entailed, but was always slightly curious, though obviously not enough to warrant checking it out. A friend told me about the classes at Midtown Dance Studio, conveniently located in Minglewood Hall and within walking distance of my house. All this and only $7 bucks? ($40 unlimited all month- and they have weekday classes as well. Freaking steal!) There were no excuses. I agreed to go this morning. I foolishly researched a video of it a mere 30 minutes before leaving my house and almost backed out. This requires some serious rhythm. Which the dear Lord decided not to gift me. I put on my big girl panties, sucked it up and showed up for the 10 am class. Cue the warm up. Hey, this isn't so bad. I can keep up! Perhaps those videos I watched were advanced! Look at me go! I'm keeping up with the instructor. Next song, not as easy. Okay, I'm just out of shape. I just had a baby, it's hot in here. I can keep going with some minor adjustments to this crazy foot work. Two songs later, asking my friend for the time. We've gotta be close to wrapping this shit up. 10:22?!?!? WHAT?! Okay, I can do this. I can't breathe- but it's all good. Fake it till you make it! Oh, that lady in front of me is pausing. Good. I'll just go grab my water bottle. Whoa! What is going on with the footwork here? I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look like a lame horse or perhaps a donkey. Cue the incessant laughing by me and the little boy who was drug to the class by his mother. I can't stop laughing. I'm burning more calories laughing than shaking my hips. Is it just me or do parts of Zumba remind you of the dance Patrick Dempsey does at prom in Can't Buy Me Love? Laughing uncontrollably again. Cool down! Ahh yes. This wasn't bad. I was actually quite good. I can do this again next week! Judging by the extreme lack of rhythm going on in my class that thought process has to be pretty similar in everyone's head. Otherwise this place would be empty. If your excuse is that you think you'll make a fool of yourself- screw it. I just made a fool out of myself for the both of us and then some. It was fun. I enjoy laughing at myself- and really points to anyone for showing up and trying. I'll definitely be back- though I'll be having meetings with Billy Blanks in my living room this week to try and build up some stamina. That shit is rough yo!

Organic Gravity is such a fun spot to get your fitness on, get a self esteem boost, and have fun…read moreall at once! We are so lucky to have a studio like this in a small town like Columbus, MS. The studio is private (so you don't have to worry about any peeping Johns!) and the atmosphere is cheery and feminine. I have taken pole and lyra classes here, and both were great core workouts! You can learn anything from beginners to advanced here. There is also a store with some cute accessories for both practicing and performing. You can join here as a member, or pay on a class-by-class basis ($20). I have gone on a per-visit basis and find it a great, low-impact but still intense workout to supplement my daily workout routine. I would recommend this for both regular fitness, or an occasional way to spice up your workout routine...and also as a potential spot for a girls get together!
