In this photo taken July 11, 2012, a woman practices pole dancing during a class held in a gym in Caracas, Venezuela. Pole dancing may have started out in strip clubs, but since the 1990s, it’s become an all-ages exercise and sport phenomenon the world over. Now, it’s hit the streets in Venezuela, a country that’s made beauty and fitness a cult and minted more Miss Universes than any other except the United States. (AP Photo/Fernando Llano)
