MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- They're sexy, mysterious and always in great shape. NewsChannel5’s Michelle Relerford reported that exotic dancers don't just strut their stuff in clubs, they've become trendsetters.

It's a trend even celebrities are cashing in on. Carmen Electra's aerobic striptease is the hottest selling fitness DVD on the market.

She lap dances, role plays and even uses props in her school of seduction.

Now women everywhere, including northeast Ohio, are daring to bare it all with the fastest growing fitness craze -- stripaerobics.

In fact, since NewsChannel5's first story, closses go so crowded they had to be moved to a bigger location.

Linda Andrews teaches the class at Slender Lady in Mayfield Heights to housewives, professionals, moms and single women looking for a sensual way to get in shape.

“We feel that we're pretty much meeting a need in the fitness industry. This is a big craze in big cities; New York, Chicago, there's pole dancing, strip dancing, belly dancing. So we're just responding to a need and the women came out,” Andrews said

Relerford said those that came out love the results.

“I've lost 10 pounds so I'm really happy with the class and I'm telling everybody I know,” Selena Bank said.

The classes start with a few minutes of stretching. Then the women learn some sexy dance moves. The dancers put it all together in a routine that's complete at the end of the six-week course.

A lot of times people hear the term stripaerobics and assume the worst, Relerford reported. She said it is about sexuality, sensuality and being a woman and loving every minute.

"I have two kids. It’s just a nice thing to gain some confidence and feel sexy," Tina Basinger said.

“What they think about themselves determines how they feel. And how they feel determines how they project themselves in public. I'm trying to teach them to be the best they can be and accept the results,” Andrews said.
