There are 3 main styles when it comes to learning the art of pole. These consist of exotic dance, empowerment and pole fitness. People decide to take up pole dance for different reasons. You should try all the different varieties to find out which of the genres you prefer.
Exotic dance is what some people will probably think of when they first hear about pole dancing. This is sometimes the sleazy image that comes to mind but this is not necessarily the case. It does make some women feel 'sexy' and they will want to keep some form of exotic dancing involved in their pole dance routine. It has evolved from something performed in a strip related environment but it has developed into a form of art. This type of dancing can be 'beautiful' to watch. Some performances have even been likened to a gliding swan.
Many women have experienced empowerment though practicing the art of pole. It can provide emotional benefits like an increased feeling of self confidence and provide an all over feeling of well being. It can make you feel stronger, taller and confident.
It is now a recognized form of exercise. It is used as an aerobic workout and for both strength and toning. Participants can expect toning from head to toe and an increase in muscle definition all over especially in the arms, thighs and buttocks. For those interested in statistics, a good session can burn up to 400 calories an hour. That's the equivalent of two Mars Bars.
It helps by increasing flexibility, improving your posture and overall fitness, whilst enjoying fun dance moves, and all without wondering what you look like. You certainly need strength, flexibility and the ability to express yourself through dance and fitness to get the most from your dancing. The good news is that you do not need to be extremely fit or flexible when you first start, you can gradually build up your skills, strength and flexibility. It is suitable for any figure, of any age or any fitness level.
The feedback we have received, particularly from those who have never tried it before, are that it is a much more enjoyable way of keeping fit and burning calories than the dreaded treadmill or the exercise bike. It encourages active participation, burns calories but most importantly, it's great fun!
There is evidence to suggest pole dancing and fitness can have an effect on psychological processes as well physical ones. It is known that physical effort has a positive effect on the sensory areas of the brain, causing it to release endorphins and Serotonin. These are hormones which give you feelings of happiness and some feelings of joy. They are also known as the body's own natural painkillers.

Pole dance pole buying guide.
Thinking about buying a pole dance pole for your home? There are quite a few options available and these can be confusing, so we’ve put together this quick guide to help make choosing the ideal pole for you easier.
Firstly, consider what brand of pole you want. There are a number of poles out there, and we’ve tested lots of them. If you want to use your pole for more than just show then we recommend X-Pole - these are the poles used by professionals worldwide, in most pole studios and competitions. The build quality is superb, being safe and stable with a range of options to suit everyone. Beware of cheap ‘stripper’ poles - these are rarely suitable for pole fitness or heavy use.
Permanent or Portable:
All X-Poles are portable and can be put up and taken down whenever you like. This gives you the flexibility to dismantle your pole and take it to a friend's house to practice or if you need the space when you have visitors. If you have a spare room or permanent space for your pole and would prefer the added security of it being screwed to the ceiling then you could try a pleasure pole.
Poles come in three diameters - 50mm, 45mm and 40mm. If in doubt, go for 45mm as this is the new industry standard and the size found in most studios and at pole dancing competitions. If you have a small grip then you may find a 40mm pole more comfortable when gripping the pole. Many pole studios now have all sizes of poles and when learning some of the harder moves the 40mm can make it easier to grip and feel more confident in the move before being ready to try it on the 45mm or 50mm.
Both the X-Pole Sport and Xpert models come ready for room heights between 2235mm (7’ 4”) to 2745mm (9"), for higher ceilings you can buy extension tubes to increase the pole height.
Type - spinning or static:
There are two distinct types of pole - spinning and static. Static poles are fixed and don’t rotate. These are ideal for beginners and are slightly lower cost than spinning poles. Spinning poles are the best of both worlds as they can be set to rotate and also be fixed in position like a static pole. This allows for more advanced moves which you may want to perform as you become more experienced with pole dancing.
The X-Pole Sport is a static pole, the X-Pole Xpert is a spinning pole.
Coating:
There are different pole finishes with varying level of grip and it is down to personal preference which is the right one for you.
Chrome is the most common finish that you’ll find on poles, and chrome poles have the chrome/silver appearance that most people expect from a pole. It also gives a good grip, so is ideal for beginners.
An alternative titanium-gold coated pole is also available, some people prefer this as it provides more grip but it does add a premium to the price. The titanium-gold poles are gold in colour.
Stainless Steel is also used to make some poles, but is not as grippy as other coatings, so not as suited for beginners.
Many pole dancers also use grip products like Dry Hands or Might Grip if they are having problems gripping when practicing moves, but this is not advised to use all the time as you need to practice and build up your natural grip strength.
Where and how to install your pole:
Fitting your pole is much easier than you may expect. The X-pole Sport and Xpert models can be easily assembled and disassembled in just a few minutes and don’t need any permanent fixings, so you don’t need to leave them up all the time if you have limited space and they won’t damage your ceilings or floors. X-poles come with a great installation guide and they have also produced an online video showing the installation process.
X-poles are bottom loading (the weight is held by the floor, not the ceiling) and can be used on almost all floor types, even carpet. When fitting your pole you need to ensure that the top plate is against a ceiling joist so that the pole is securely braced. You can locate a joist by tapping the ceiling and listening for the change from a hollow noise to a solid one - the solid area is where the joist is. You can also use a stud-finder, available from most DIY stores.
No ladder is needed to install the pole (once you know where your joists are) as the X-pole adjuster system lets you adjust the pole height from the bottom, so that it’s the correct height for your room.
Both the X-Pole Sport and Xpert models come ready for room heights between 2235mm (7’ 4”) to 2745mm (9"), for higher ceilings you can buy extension tubes to increase the pole height.
You need to allow enough space around the pole for you to comfortably perform your moves, so the centre of the room is usually the most suitable spot.
Accessories:
Most people will benefit from using a grip product to help gain friction on the pole. For post-exercise recovery, we recommend KLORIS CBD Balm to help aching muscles and aid skin repair.
