This is no ordinary dance. Elissia is no ordinary dance teacher.

A funny, romantic and occasionally steamy story about four bored, 40-something housewives who are bullied into pole dancing lessons by their unusual and impetuous friend, Elissia.

Pole dancing is no ordinary dance, and Elissia is no ordinary teacher. Dancing has a politics of its very own and there are rules to be followed, so Miranda and her friends discover when they are signed up for dance lessons.

Pole dancing reveals more than just an expanse of pale, unloved flesh and a lack of self-confidence to dance seductively. Marital issues abound as each woman descends deeper into the mire of unfinished arguments and unspoken grievances.

As the four friends are shaken out of their comfortably numb existence, they cannot help feel like they are pawns in someone else’s plans.
