Pole Dancing
is a dance and acrobatic sport centred around a
vertical pole. It is mostly known for taking place in clubs as erotic
dance but has now become more mainstream. There are many types of pole
dance and everyone has their own unique style.
Poles can be set to static or spin and
during competitions the left pole is set to static and the right pole is
set to spin.
Tricks on a static pole are much harder as they require the dancer to
create the momentum with their body to spin around the pole. To gain
spin on a static pole the further away the dancer is from the pole the
more momentum they will create, on a spin pole the opposite happens.
