Pole dancing is a form of
dancing/
gymnastics that takes muscular endurance and coordination as well as sensuality. It involves dancing sensually with a vertical pole and is often used in
strip clubs and
gentlemen's clubs, although more recently artistic pole dancing (
Chinese poles) is used in cabaret/circus and stage performance in a non-erotic environment. In a
strip club setting, pole dancing is often performed less gymnastically and combined with
striptease, and/or
lap dancing between performers. The dancer(s) may simply hold the pole, or use it to perform more athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions. Upper body and core strength are important to proficiency, which takes time to develop.
