Neighbour challenges elderly complainants over persistent 'groaning' noises from home-based pole-dancing studio

A pole dancer's home biz sparks commotion, with neighbors furious over noisy workouts and grunting!

Pole dancer Samilou Saunders, based in a posh £700k bungalow in Christchurch, Dorset, has set up her dream studio in the garage - offering various pole dancing and aerial fitness classes. With over 20 hours of workshops per week, participant feedback praises these sessions as "inspirational."

However, neighbors aren't on board, lodging formal complaints to the Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP) Council about disruptions caused by noise and parking issues.

Samilou has presented a retrospective planning application to reclassify her garage as a hybrid work-living area, aiming to continue her home studio operations. Yet, the fussy neighbors submitted letters to the council, vocalizing their concerns.

One wrote, "The obnoxious noise from this unauthorized activity and blaring music disrupts our peace, daily life, and home, leaving us distressed and stressed constantly."

Samilou recently voiced her dismay, believing her neighbors misconstrue the essence of pole dancing classes. She adds that an environmental officer showed little worry about the noise, noting that diverse attendees age from a 72-year-old pole dancer with 16 years of experience.

According to The Sun, Samilou said, "This is my long-held dream to establish my own studio, and I'm doing my best to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. Honestly, no matter what I do, these neighbors will never be satisfied – they're mostly senior citizens, and I reckon they don't truly understand pole dancing's nature."

To appease the neighbors, Samilou removed her business logo from her vehicle to avoid offense. She also addressed the "grunting" comment, clarifying that it likely referred to her husband's home gym and not the studio.

Despite pleas from residents who feel pole dancing should be supported, some remain adamant in their opposition.

One wrote, "This is a tranquil residential area with minimal vehicle traffic – a business is out of place here." Another described the studio as a "nuisance" due to the audible commotion.

A decision regarding the application is yet to be made.

BCP Council declined to comment on the matter, citing ongoing application processes.
