Pole dancing is a combination of dance and acrobatics centered on a vertical pole. The performance art, which was previously popular only in strip clubs, is now gaining mainstream popularity and is practiced in dance studios and fitness clubs.
This form of dancing requires core strength, coordination and exotic moves all combined into one. Promoters of pole dancing are trying to change people’s views, seeing it not as a sexual form of dancing, but rather as form of acrobatics.
