The “fitness” sessions involve skills usually associated with strip clubs.
And child psychologist Emma Kenny branded the lessons “horrendous”, saying only perverts would be interested in watching children dancing on a pole.
She said: “I think the only people who are really going to enjoy watching little girls pole dance, apart from their incredibly proud parents, is a particular type of a man.
“Kids shouldn’t be dancing around a pole.”

STIGMA: The instructor insists pole dancing is not sexual
“Kids shouldn’t be dancing around a pole”
Emma Kenny
Mum-of-two Zoe Hardy, 33, runs the Pole Intentions dance and fitness classes with her twin sister Kelly in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
She said she wanted to “remove the stigma” associated with pole dancing and help the children gain confidence.
Zoe admitted: “Many people still seem to associate pole dancing with seedy strip clubs. We have had one or two bad comments saying: ‘Children pole dancing – that’s disgusting.’
“But if you actually watch the performance it’s a really beautiful piece. I just want people to be openminded rather than being naive about it. Pole fitness is not sexual.”
And she said parents were “100%” supportive of their kids learning the moves.
Six children, one of them male, take the classes at £5 a time.
Three of them became the first under-18s to perform at an official pole dancing competition.
The trio of girls, who were too young to actually compete, did a routine to James Bond theme tunes at the Pole Theatre UK contest.
Zoe added: “If we can make people see that juniors are just as good as the adults, then maybe the girls might be able to compete in the competitions in a couple of years.”
INSTAGRAM The Spanish-Brazilian bombshell may have started off as apersonal trainer, but it wasn't long before her fans were demanding less squats and more… well, you can imagine.
Now based in Miami, the blonde still competes in bodybuilding competitions, but remains dedicated to posting sizzling snaps to her Facebook page, which has 3.75 million likes as well as her 835,000 Instagram followers.
Yeah, she's kind of a big deal.
INSTAGRAM Judging by her portfolio of red hot belfies, we'd say the stacked stunner's mantra is work(out) hard, play harder.
But this babe's DIY pics are just part of her modelling empire. Having posed for the likes of Playboy and FHM, it's safe to say that Vic has also got the lads mag circuit wrapped up.
In fact, the ripped vixen has been running her own world tour over the last few years, travelling everywhere from France to Australia to get snapped by the world's top fitness photographers.
A Colombian model has been arrested for kidnapping and torturing one of her colleagues after a bitter war of words on social media turned violent.
The suspect, 21-year-old Yeimi Rey, was detained in the airport of capital city Bogota on her way out of the country to Miami.
Yeimi and her sister Claudia both have a warrant out for their arrest since fellow model, Carolina Munoz, reported them for kidnapping and torturing her.

Rey, left and her sister Claudia, right, are accused of attacking fellow model Carolina Munoz, centre
According to Munoz, the sisters had attacked her in an act of revenge after she opened false social media accounts and posted unflattering photos of them before plastic surgery procedures.
She describes how on the 31st January 2015, they bundled her into a car and: 'They bit me, tortured me, they pulled my hair, cut off my clothes, they left me bald, they electrocuted me.
'They told me they were going to kill me, that they knew very powerful people and wouldn't be sent to jail, that I was the one who would end up losing and next time they will throw acid on my face and destroy my life.'
Munoz also reports how the girls robbed her and published naked photos of her afterwards on social media.
According to local media, as the sisters left their abandoned victim in the street they crashed into another car and police arrived on the scene and arrested them, although they were set free shortly afterwards.
Munoz admits to creating the false Twitter accounts to shame the sisters, but claims in her defence that this was also to get back at them for negative comments they had published about her online.
After a lengthy legal battle, Yeimi has finally been arrested and will now answer for the allegations made against her.
Claudia remains at large with a warrant out for her capture.
Polly Anther used to be shy but now she's an in-demand fetish modelYou’d never guess that this stunning pin-up girl used to see herself as the “short, fat one” who suffered from anxiety every time she left the house.
When she was younger, Polly Anther dreamed of being a model but she never thought she’d make it because she was too shy to even speak to anyone.
But now the 21-year-old had found an unusual way to feel more body confident – by stripping naked for naughty shoots. She said: "It was my anxiety that always stopped me doing what I wanted.
"I would always get so worried about everything and I found it hard to talk to people because I was so shy.
“Now I have to stand naked in front of people and it doesn't even bother me”
Tsai Meng-chia and his girlfriend Huang Ruo-hsin, both just 21, died in the rubbleWith rescue operations into their fifth day since the quake struck on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the couple were found dead in each other’s embrace as they were buried by rubble from a collapsing building.
The bodies of Tsai Meng-chia and his girlfriend Huang Ruo-hsin, both just 21, were found by rescuers on what used to be the 15th storey of the Weiguan Jinlong residential building, which collapsed after the magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck Taiwan’s south-western Tainan City. The couple had been known by their friends to have a loving relationship Over 55 people have already died from the devastating earthquakeThe pair are now amongst the 55 people confirmed dead by Taiwan’s National Fire Agency, while more than 80 are still believed to be trapped in the rubble of the 16-storey complex.
Tsai and Huang, who both attended Tainan’s Kun Shan University, studying electrical engineering and fashion design, respectively, had been known by their friends as having a loving relationship. Rescue operations are underway to rescue trapped peopleCEN A distraught Taiwanese lady at the site of a building collapseTaiwanese media reported that Tsai most likely "protected" Huang with his own body as their building crumbled under the force of the quake, which has claimed the most number of lives in Taiwan since a magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit central Nantou County on September 21, 1999, in which 2,415 people were killed and more than 11,000 were injured.
The heart-breaking images of the couple’s bodies being removed from the rubble have also strengthened public resolve to see the former contractors of the Weiguan Jinlong building punished for allegedly using sub-standard material including tin cans during the construction of the building.
Three arrests have been made so far, with authorities detaining the former developer, as well as two executives of the construction company.

"I wanted to come back to the business and do something entirely different than what I had done previously."The blonde beauty famously launched legal action against Charlie claiming he did not tell her about his HIV status until after they had engaged in unprotected sex not once but five times.
However, slamming the accusations, Charlie hit back at the $5 million lawsuit arguing in court documents that not only did Brett know he was HIV-positive but also "insisted" on having unprotected sex with him.In an explosive video obtained by Radar Online from April 2015, Rossi can be seen burning mementos from her romance with Charile Charlie."You exposed me to HIV for a year and a half. You made me get rid of a baby," she screams.
"You offered me a hundred grand after basically being married to you… you piece of s***. After everything I f****** did for you and your f****** kids."

Cheeky: A 1997 image by Bruce Weber shows the Croydon-born star topless and blowing bubbles at the camera
There's more natural images too, including a candid 1997 snap by Bruce Weber of the young star, who was scouted aged 14 at JFK airport in New York, blowing bubbles, again while in the nude.
Perhaps the most famous portrait in the exhibition is one of Kate's first Calvin Klein images, for the 1993 Obsession campaign which Kate has previously confirmed was based on then-boyfriend Mario Sorrenti's own obsession with her.
Speaking to photographer and friend Nick Knight earlier this year, Kate explained of the famous shots: 'I'd wake up in the morning and he'd be taking pictures of me and I'd be like "F**k off" and I laid like that for about 10 days. He would not stop taking pictures of that.'

Speaking one-to-one with Knight, who she's worked with for 20 years, for ShowStudio.com the supermodel described her reluctance to be constantly photographed and how Mario treating her as his muse lead to the downfall of their relationship.
'10 days?!' The model continued. 'We split up after that. When you're in a relationship with a photographer and they start abusing that relationship by being like, "I want you to do this" it makes you like, "No".'
'I didn't want to work all the time. He'd be like, "Get up on the roof, take your clothes off" and I'd be like "F**k off! I don't want to do that".
