If you still think that pole dancing is limited to strip clubs, you are missing a whole other world. Pole dancing has come such a long way and is establishing itself as a sport. There is even talk about it trying to slide it’s way in to the Olympics. There are several categories of the ‘sport.’
The four main styles of pole dancing:
* Strictly fitness – no high heels, no costumes and more like a circuit gym class.
* Circus – highly acrobatic, on purpose-built poles, as seen in Cirque du Soleil.
* Dance-based pole – acrobatic moves combined with ‘conventional dance’ moves such as Latin, jazz, hip-hop.
* Sensual pole – using more ‘traditional’ pole moves and generally involves girls dressed in a provocative way.
