Have you heard of pole-dancing classes, and are wondering what the hype is about? Interested in finding a new hobby but not sure whether to book a class? Here are five reasons pole dancing might not be for you…

  1. You are already way too fit: Pole dancing is a killer workout that will get you toned and fit in no time! Regular pole dancing sessions can help tone your muscles (especially your core and arms), improve balance, and increase cardiovascular endurance. So, if you’re a little concerned you are too fit and fabulous, another hobby might be better suited, perhaps chess?
  2. Your Confidence is already through the roof: When most people start pole dancing, they may feel a bit self-conscious or shy. But as you progress, you’ll gain more confidence in your abilities, learn to love your body, and embrace your femininity. You’ll learn how to move gracefully and seductively, which will make you feel powerful and sexy. So, pole dancing is not just a workout, it’s also a confidence booster! If your confidence is already 12/10, pole dancing might just make you a little too awesome.
  3. You don’t really have any stress or worries in life: Do you ever leave work thinking, ‘My day was way too carefree and relaxing’? You may be better off starting a local fight club because there is nothing like spinning around a pole to forget about your worries! Pole dancing is a great stress reliever, as it helps release endorphins that make you feel good. It’s also a fun way to blow off some steam and forget about your problems for a while.
  4. You’re working on decreasing your Flexibility and spending more time on the couch:  If you’re not flexible, and don’t want to be able to touch your toes, definitely don’t start pole dance classes! The movements involved in pole dancing help build a lot of flexibility, so you’ll be stretching and bending your body in ways you never thought possible. Before you know it, you’ll be doing splits and backbends like a pro!
  5. You have too many friends already: Pole dancing communities are friendly, supportive, and fun! Pole Divas is a sisterhood, where you will meet people from all walks of life who share your passion for pole dancing. You’ll bond over your struggles and successes, and you’ll have a blast together at competitions and events. Pole dancing is not just a workout, it’s also a great way to meet new lifelong friends. So if you’re too popular definitely don’t try out our classes.

So, all jokes aside, the benefits of pole dancing are too great to not give it a go at least once. What are you waiting for? Grab a pole, put on some music, and let’s get dancing!
