13 Things You Probably Never Knew About Pole Dancing Classes

    You don't need to be a fitness fanatic.

    1. First of all, there's no "ideal" body type for pole dancing.

    2. There's also no age limit.

    3. And it's not even just for women.

    4. Dedication to the sport isn't necessarily about being super into fitness per se.

    5. And it isn't always about being ~sexy.~

    6. Going to a pole class isn't like going to a strip club. Most of the time, it's more like Cirque du Soleil.

    7. And bruises are a big part of life for pole dancers.

    8. Just like yoga, all the poses have names. This one's called the "scorpion".

    9. Tbh wearing short shorts and a tiny top make the moves a lot easier. It's not just about looking good up there.

    10. But it's totally possible to do it fully clothed.

    11. It takes years of practice and training to get to the most advanced levels...

    12. ...but a lot of the poses can be picked up relatively quickly, which is great for your confidence!

    13. Of course, being able to post incredible photos is one of the most gratifying parts for everyone.
