Re-Framing Pole Dancing and Body Positivity
No! Why does stripping always come to mind when pole dance is mentioned?
Pole dancing can be traced all the way back to more than 800 years ago in China and India, as both a sport and a performance, for males. It is only recently that they started using poles in strip clubs (plus, what’s wrong with strippers?). Over the last decade, pole fitness or pole dancing has become one of the most popular fitness activities for the public, both males and females. It is a fitness activity that require a significant amount of upper-body strength, core strength, and flexibility (If you don't believe this, go to a trial class! ;)).
