Pole Dancing and Pregnancy – What you need to know...
This is interesting! Of course, we advise all women to consult their doctor first! poledanceitaly: Via Scoop.it - Pole Dance Italy If the client is an experienced pole dancer, I would say they could invert until they personally feel that the bump is too big, back is aching or just lack the energy to perform the move.

A little History
The history of Miss Pole starts in early 2005. Allow me to set the scene… I’m late for work because I can’t fit into my pants. I can’t fit into my pants because I have two small children. Those two small children are hungry and need to eat breakfast. They can’t eat breakfast because I can’t find my homework. I can’t find my homework because I...

It's not just about the sexy.
Guest Blog from a Miss Pole Student.   It seems to me that for some beginners, one of the biggest draws to pole dancing is also its biggest deterrent for others: the sexiness.  Some people get excited about it while others insist that they’re “not like that.”  (I’m not sure, but I think “like that” refers to a regular on “Girls Gone Wild” or...

The "stripper" versus "pole dancer" debate
This post is so well written that i had to share it with you all! poledanceitaly: Via Scoop.it - Pole Dance Italy So one of the questions I have asked in the past of my blog interviewees is what they think about the “stripper vs. pole fitness debate.” It is clear that some people are very comfortable with pole dancing being associated with stripping and/or their sexuality (and sensuality?? I...

Exotic fitness is a workout!
In an ever-changing workout and fitness scene, exotic dance exercise and weight loss programs have become more mainstream. Once a secret art, striptease moves and pole dancing classes are now offered by fitness clubs, via workout videos and in dance studios across the United States. It’s easy to see why primarily women flock to try exotic dance programs. They offer a moderately intense...

Yelp.com Lori E. St Paul, MN 8/13/2010 This is the best workout in Madison!  You get a great workout doing pole moves.  The instructors are terrific and teach at a good pace.   This is in no way a raunchy place; you work out in yoga attire and the atmosphere is positive and female-only.  The prices are pretty good and are about what you’d pay for a yoga/pilates/kickboxing class...

Stigma
One day we all hope to see the separation between Pole dance and stripping in everyone’s mind.  One day we hope to have more women see Lap dance as more than something in a club, but a powerful workout that will have you embracing all of your curves. Thus empowering you! One day we hope to see exotic dance as a way to get in shape and feel great about yourself. Without having to deal with...

Pole history
A Little History… Pole dancing started in America in the 1920s when traveling show dancers used a tent pole as a prop in their acts. Then it gradually began evolving from tents to bars as burlesque became more acceptable in the 1950s. Before the mid 2000s, pole dance mainly took place in strip clubs. Since then, pole dance has increasingly been influenced by Chinese pole, a form of acrobatics that...

How many calories can pole dancing burn?
As with any physical activity, the number of calories burned depends on a variety of factors including the duration and intensity of the activity, and the weight, age and gender of the participant. A 130 pound woman performing very basic moves that elevate the heart rate only slightly will burn significantly fewer calories than a woman of similar weight and body composition who performs a...
