Poledancing combines dance and acrobatics centered on a vertical pole. This performance art form takes place not only
in gentleman's clubs as erotic dance, but has also as a mainstream form of fitness, practiced in gyms and dedicated dance studios.
Poledancing enthusiasts are all ages; although many who perform this dance and acrobatic form are adults, that does not stop younger children
from learning and performing in competitions. Amateur and professional pole dancing competitions are held in countries around the world.
