Her list of devotees includes Teri Hatcher, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kate Hudson, who has proven especially adept at working the pole.
"She just loves being feminine. Every movement for her is beautiful and sexy," Kelley, 48, says about the Nine star. "The excitement of sharing it [with her boyfriend] was big for her. She wanted to do a routine, to share it.”
Kelley started her own training company, S Factor, after researching strip clubs for a role. "I was a dance major at NYU, and had done every dance you can imagine," says Kelley. "I have never done anything so beautiful as this. I never had the kind of long, lean muscles I have now – and I still have the curves."

Teri Hatcher and a friend were recently discussing what would be on her "bucket list," a list of things to do before she dies.
So what's on it? "I want to learn to play a couple of songs on the guitar. I want to learn a few of those fancy dances from one of those Dancing with the Stars teachers. And I want to run a triathlon," the Desperate Housewives star tells PEOPLE.
The timing was perfect for Hatcher, when her show's parent company Disney asked her to lead a team in this year's Nautica Malibu Triathlon on Sept. 13.

Nicollette Sheridan's Desperate Exit Earns Kudos
Originally posted 04/19/2009 06:55AM
With Sunday night bringing the final episode of Desperate Housewives to star original cast member Nicollette Sheridan – who is leaving the show for good – her neighbors on Wisteria Lane gathered to pay brief tribute to her during a panel discussion about Housewives at the Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles.
According to James Denton (the actor whose plumber Mike on the ABC show was the object of Sheridan's character Edie's insatiable lust), at the table-read of the first script that would not feature Sheridan, she took a moment to address the writers and actors. "She said, 'While you're all together, I'm here to say thank you for everything. You guys are great. You guys are awesome,' " Denton said.
"She walked out of the room, and Felicity [Huffman] looked at me and said, 'Classy,' and it sure was."
