Under the dim light, the women spin easily on the pole with gentle smiles. If this is what you imagine when you hear “pole dancing”, then it’s time to burst this bubble. Years later, pole dancing remains an infamous art form, best known for the reason it should finally be known. While the graceful movements and sexy poses are still there, the focus needs to shift to the incredible athleticism and strength required to master the art of pole.
Pole dancing is a rigorous form of fitness that combines elements of dance, gymnastics and acrobatics. Unlike traditional dance forms, pole fitness has no set moves or steps. Instead, it emphasizes personal exploration and improvisation. This enables individuals to push their own boundaries and discover their unique strengths and abilities.
The benefits of pole fitness are undeniable, let’s explore some of them:
Increase strength and grip
Yes, pole dancing focuses more on strength, followed by elegance. If you’re uncomfortable, your posture isn’t graceful, and with comfort comes strength. Because pole dancing requires a lot of movement and grip strength in your arms, legs, shoulders, thighs, and hips, it can help you build strength and eventually some muscle over time. It is one of those full body and body weight exercises.
Improve flexibility and mobility
In pole dancing, flexibility is as important as strength. Strength keeps you stable, while flexibility allows you to move more smoothly and gracefully. Smooth transitions, deeper stretches and poses increase range of motion, and it’s not just for show. It can improve your movements, protect you from injury, and even make your daily life feel like you’re gliding on clouds.
Confidence
Pole dancing is more than just twirling and swaying, it’s a journey to discover your inner badass and own it. Feeling unsure? No, that pole becomes your stage, your spotlight, and your confidence amplifier. I believe you will fall in love with your body and yourself!
