Pole dancing is a really good exercise. It is also called Pole Fitness.
Pole fitness today is a hybrid of athletic, and theatrical, male sports and female erotic dance and circus performing. The history of pole dancing can be traced back over two thousand years to dances that were performed by women for women and to an Indian sport called Mallakhamb, Chinese Pole, and also side shows in traveling circus’ and more recently “Gentleman’s Clubs”.
I started following Anastasia, after she went on Ukraine's got talent. She's an amazing pole dancer!
When you hear the words “pole dancing,” what comes to mind? For most, it’s probably an image of a strip club or topless strippers spinning around a pole in one such environment. But it's more than that, it's a sport, an art.
Pole dance requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance. Pole dance proper involves athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions using the limbs to grip. Upper body and core strength are required to attain proficiency, and rigorous training is necessary.
With all of the controversy surrounding conversations and events about pole dancing, the history of pole dancing gives us a good understanding of what different cultures and groups used the pole for.
I totally agreed to your first statement, there's many classes and exercise videos incorporating dancing and movements around and about a pole. Maybe your could put in some facts about these classes/videos? It is provocative, but I think it's sexy and beautiful if not over the top and I can imagine the challenge and rigorous trainings!
ReplyDeleteI agree that pole dancing is an art. It is very much like ballet, a lot of people do not know how much body strength it requires to perform.
