    One of my good friends pole dances. She is also a fetish model. She originally started taking it to add to her skills in her portfolio. She is not snobby about it at all. Where as she has mentioned some of the competitive pole dancers are very snobbish and really look down on sex work. Her instructor is an incredible male pole dancer (also freaking eye candy) but he is unable to compete because his work in porn. They are trying separate pole dancing from the adult world.

    Lol

    Soooo... today, I'm hanging out with a few girls I work a side-gig with and their friends and they start talking about the local strip club. It turns into this circle-jerk of making fun of strip clubs, strippers, and the guys who go there. Saying shit about how nasty and disgusting it is. "Oh, it's basically a night club.... with naked girls just grinding on a pole!" "Eww" "hahahaha"....

    Then, right after, one girl goes, "But you know what I'd really like to do? Take a pole dancing class."
    Everyone else: "Omg, yeah, that would be so much fun!"

    Like.... really....? You're gonna sit there and bash strippers and girls who "grind on the pole" for money, but you're all about dancing on a pole for "fitness".... omg, I had to leave lol

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    I really think that the studios also have some responsibility in this because they market their classes as fitness and art and "not sleazy".

    have any of you actually been to a pole fitness class that taught real tricks or at least got a good workout? the only one i went to was just posing awkwardly next to a pole, i was so disappointed and irritated. didnt even sweat much less learn anything. i learn a lot more pole skills at acro yoga and ballet classes.

    Not sure where your at but I went to polelateaz in atlanta and while it does teach you to be sexy on the pole you break a sweat after ten min utes there. If you wanted to only learn tricks then the best place ive went to was pole fit carolinas in nc. i didnt like it but if you want to get physical strength only that would be your place.

    It varies by studio really. My studio where I learned all my pole skills is very pro stripper. They even "field trip" to the local clubs to stage tip. Some off my biggest stage sets have been on nights where girls fRom my studio showed up and rained my stage during my sets.

    It's also not just an owner thing. We've had instructors from the more conservative states come to our studio to train and they wish their community would allow them to get more sexy on the pole. They basically can't use the pole as anything more than a vertical bar. And even go as far as to have private underground almost classes with a few select students that they can trust to be more "stripper like" and who will keep their mouths shut about it else their studio will get shut down.

    So it's not all pole dancers that look down on strippers. And as someone who pole danced before I stripped, I got a lot of the same negativity and stripper association just from studio dancing.

    More often than not, the non stripper polers ARE the judgemental ones. If dancers had become like that, it's because of the larger number of snob non stripper pole dancers.

    Good for you being a minority.

    This whole thread has completely blown my mind.

    I just can't believe the cognitive dissonance of some people.

    The rare times that I've gone to the strip club, the strippers there always blow my mind with the amazing pole tricks they can do. I rather watch them and give them my money then pay for a ticket to Circus de Soleil.

    OMG I just realized this is just like Miley Cyrus taking twerking and the press pretending it wasn't a dance style created by black strippers! These people don't want to have to compete with the original real dancers. They want their watered down shit to be the 'acceptable" standards. We busted our asses to create pole dancing just to have these punk bitches take the credit, cash, and respect while they cut us out of their bullshit rigged competitions. Ahh privilege.

    I have never danced in a club, but I want to. I haven't auditioned because I just moved to a new place and taking care of some medical issues, but I pole dance. I have a gymnastics background and I've always been fascinated by it. I've never looked down on getting naked for money, I think it's the best idea ever!

    So I just have to say that not all of us are like that, but I can definitely see where yall are coming from. I've read a lot of negative stupid things, but I feel lucky that the studios I've been to haven't been stuck up. They sometimes plan to meet at a club to watch and tip the girls, and they hire strippers to teach too. I met a girl one night who was working at a club out of town, and then saw her listed as an instructor on the studio website when I went to take a drop in class.

    Why learn all of these tricks if it's NOT going to be used on stage? Seems pretty pointless. One wrong move and you can get hurt. I've seen a girl fall hard on her ass to the point where she had to get off stage right away.

    Yes, it's a good work out but seems riskier for someone who wants to do this just to impress who ever for free once in a while. Especially for someone who isn't doing it regularly. I mean, you can get the same results doing yoga and pilates without the risk of breaking your neck.

    Yep, I've gone to registration websites for pole dance competitions and almost all specifically state IN BIG BOLD LETTERS that adult entertainers are not eligible to compete because they want to maintain their "physical fitness only" reputation. It's such hypocrisy.

    It is wonderful exercise and fun to do for anyone, whether they want to work in a SC or not, but can we all grow up and not pretend that anyone would be interested in it if not for the fact that it has that "stripper-esque" sexiness attached to it? If you just wanted to be fit and do something acrobatic, there are other options that don't involve you having to painstakingly defend your reputation at every turn. No one would put up with having to defend themselves all the time just for a workout. They do it cuz they get their jollies from feeling "stripper sexy." Which is fine.... but don't pretend like it's not a fact.

    Agreed. Doing smtg just to show off comes across as cocky, & when you get cocky mistakes can be made that can get you seriously hurt. The muscle-memory is a key part of doing tricks correctly, but it has to be maintained to do you any good.

    I have had mixed reactions when I went to different pole classes. Generally other women responded favourably or neutrally, but there always seems to be that one chick in the corner that looks at you sideways if she even thinks she smells 'stripper bitch'.

    This is exactly why I think most of them are snobs.

    Non-exotic pole dancers think they're superior to clean exotic dancers who think they're superior to dirty exotic dancers who don't give a shit.

    ^ its not about feeling "morally superior" to extras girls ( at least not to me), its about them skewing the competition, cutting corners, and doing illegal shit that could bring all of us down.
