Cambridge students 'to get pole dancing lessons to combat stress'
Cambridge students are to receive pole dancing classes to help combat summer exam stress, Cambridge Union Society officers have confirmed.
Lessons will take in the Blue Room of the historic Union building, more commonly used as the venue for debates among venerable statesmen including Winston Churchill and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
It is the first time private pole dancing lessons have been offered by a Cambridge University society, and will cost just ￡2 an hour for Union members.
Four "pole-fitness" sessions, starting on April 25 at 6pm, are currently confirmed and advertised as being for women only, with no experience necessary.

Juan de Francisco, the Union Ents Officer responsible for arranging the saucy dance classes, admitted they could attract controversy, but were intended as "harmless fun".
He said: "The classes are for fitness and well-being, and are not intended to be sexual. "
"High heels are actually discouraged - the instructor has told me that attendees should wear trainers or go bare-foot. "
"The idea actually wasn't mine - it was suggested to me by a female member of the Union who takes classes by the same instructor. "
"I then went to the Ents Committee and asked for their opinions. I only received responses from the female members of the Committee."
Newly-elected Juan, promised "to turn the Union into a fun refuge during a tough exam term" and said the classes could help with work-related stress.
The Union already offers weekly yoga and pilates classes which non-members can join for a ￡6 fee.
