Pole dancing has left its dubious origins well behind to emerge as a sensual but highly energetic dance-form requiring athleticism, flexibility, co-ordination and endurance.

An accomplished pole dancer can give the illusion of effortless elegance in a demanding routine during which they might support their entire body weight with the aid of a knee and the forces of momentum, or perform a gravity-defying inverted plunge before flipping like a gymnast into the vertical splits. All at 15 feet on a narrow tube of chrome, while keeping their audience fully engaged of course!

Luckily, beginner level pole dancing is a skill which is easily mastered with practise, and it is this sense of achievement, combined with its body-toning effects and means of self-expression, which makes it incredibly popular with contemporary women today.
