Two pole dancing schools with a capacity of 850 people
This is surprising, considering the Alsatian village has a population of 850. The percentage of pole dancing schools in Goxwiller is certainly generous compared to the number of people living there. It must be said that pole dancing, which involves hanging from a metal bar and performing non-acrobatic dance moves, has been gaining increasing success in recent years. But were the people of Goxwiller so keen to hang themselves from a metal bar by their hands? Not at all.

This dual structure is actually due to a sibling rivalry. In the beginning, the small Alsatian village had a single-masted dance studio. However, due to an irreversible fight between the founder and the professor, the latter slammed the door at the beginning of 2024 and set up a rival studio in the neighboring street. Fortunately, these two schools are the only ones between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, so the owners will be able to keep the helm of their respective ships for a few more years.
