Bosses at Fairmile Grange home, in Dorset, brought in the dancers from Pole Dance Factory Poole after residents wanted some different entertainment but local councillors have claimed it is ''inappropriate'', the Metro reported.
Izzy Nicholls, operations and quality director for Encore Care Homes, which runs Fairmile Grange, said: ''At Fairmile Grange, relatives and residents requested more modern-style activities.
''Residents were given several choices of activity and specifically chose for a local pole dancing company to perform.''
She added that Encore Care Homes is ''proud to challenge stereotypes and will continually offer our residents the choice to experience appropriate, new and progressive activities.''
However, Councillor Peter Hall said: ''It's not really the sort of entertainment I would have thought that the residents wanted or would have encouraged.''
Councillor Denise Jones added: ''I'm a bit staggered about it. While I'm always delighted to see the horizons of older people widened, I'm not sure that includes pole dancing.''
