Pole dancing dates back to the 12th century in India and was originally practiced by mostly men, not women. It migrated over to the U.S. when exotic dancers from Egypt would perform as part of the traveling circus.  The sexual aspect of it was introduced when dancers would try to entice viewers to come see their shows by dancing erotically. It actually wasn’t until the 1980s that pole dancing became synonymous with bars and strip clubs. Pole Dancing combines dance and acrobatics centered on a vertical pole.  This performance art form takes place not only in strip clubs as erotic dance, but also as a mainstream form of fitness. Amateur and professional pole dancing competitions are held in countries around the world. Pole dance requires significant muscular endurance and coordination, as well as sensuality.  Today, pole performances by exotic dancers range from basic spins and striptease in more intimate clubs to athletic moves such as climbs, flips and body inversions. Pole Dancing is mostly about upper body and core strength and proper instruction and training is necessary to prevent injuries. Since the mid-2000s, promoters of pole dance fitness competitions have tried to change peoples’ perception of pole dance to include pole fitness as a non-sexual form of dance and acrobatics and are trying to move pole into the Olympics as pole sports. Recognized schools and qualifications are now commonplace. Pole dancing enthusiasts are of all ages, it’s never too late to get started.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Monogamish Marriage  Average Swingers Casual Swingers Black and Kinky Podcast Swinger University 4ourPlay Podcast Bed Hoppers Life of Spice Coqueta Caliente TRAVEL WITH THE 2HOTWIVES Check out our EVENTS PAGE, for a chance to meet the 2HotWives in person, including: Desire Riviera Maya: August 2022 Bliss Cruise: November 2022 Keep checking back for new events.
