			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While pole dancing was never seen outside of a strip club just a few years back, it has become incredible mainstream that there is no denying that it is a skill just like any other form of exercise. The movements themselves incorporate all kinds of skills actually, including ballet, modern dance, and gymnastics. Skilled pole dancers can perform all kinds of impressive stunts such as climbs, inverted poses and spins. Couple that with some movement on the floor and a bit of a dance routine and you have more than just a workout, you have an impressive skill set you can show off to friends.</p>
<p>When it comes to pole dancing, there are essentially 3 different styles that dancers use. There is pole fitness, empowerment, and exotic dance. All kinds of people start practicing pole dancing for a number of different reasons, which is also why it is a good idea for you to give each style a shot.</p>
<p>The first picture and idea that comes to mind when someone mentions pole dancing is usually the exotic dance form. Sometimes it comes along with a sleazy connotation, but that could not be further from the truth. Exotic dance can help make a woman feel sexy and has evolved to be about much more than simply striping.</p>
<p>Empowerment is one of the benefits that many women discuss after trying out pole dancing, as the movements can bring about a lot of emotions. Pole dancers get in touch with their body and this can lead to a big surge in confidence and positivity.</p>
<p>Due to the new way of thinking that surrounds pole dancing, it is now considered to be a very legitimate form of exercise. Essentially it is a more intriguing form of aerobic exercise that focuses on strengthening the core and defining muscle. A hard workout with pole dancing can burn as much as 300 calories in an hour, but doesn’t even feel like work because participants are usually having so much fun.</p>
<p>Beginners to the art of pole dancing fitness should strive to continue working on their flexibility and mastering new moves. The more you take part in the activity, the more skilled you will be, and the more fun the exercise becomes overall.</p>
<p>Pole dancing does take talent and truly is the second coming when it comes to aerobic exercise. So ditch the neon tights and slip into something a little more exciting the next time you want to break out in a sweat.</p>
<p>Your body and mind are sure to thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unless you have been a couch potato for the last year or try not to talk about fitness at all, you have probably heard about pole dancing exercise and how many women are devoted to it all over the world. You have probably even heard of all the fitness benefits that pole dancing can bring into your life, and how it can make you feel better and be sexier all in one.</p>
<p>But what exactly is pole dancing fitness? Why are so many people swearing by this form of fitness and what exactly makes it so much fun?</p>
<p>The answer to both of those questions really is quite simple. The combination of funky music, sexy faces, and fun moves help tone your body while hiding the fact that you are actually working your body hard.</p>
<p>A normal pole dancing routine will involve movements such as spinning, swinging, hanging, and climbing around the pole. You will work muscles you never knew you had and bring out a sexy part of you that you might not have known existed.</p>
<p>The reason the pole dancing is so effective for many women is the fact that the movements can build muscle for women that lack strength in their upper body. Most women do not want to lift weights or strive for a lot of definition, but pole dancing tends to let them get the perfect mix of toning and strength. Add that onto the fact that the movements also improve posture, build confidence, and increase flexibility and you have all of the makings of a top notch workout, without all of the hassle and boredom.</p>
<p>The truth is that women that partake in pole dancing exercise on a regular basis prove to gain core and arm strength rather quickly. Women can also look forward to more definition in their thighs and a more toned behind as long as they dedicate themselves to regular pole dancing workouts.</p>
<p>All you really have to do is get ready for the excitement pole dancing can offer, and the results that are sure to come soon after. Just remember to start off slow and work up to more advanced pole dancing movements in order to have the most fun. In doing so, you will soon be one of many women that not only look sexier but feel sexier deep down as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pole dancing has been taking the fitness world by storm over the recent months, and one look inside one of the classrooms or one look at the glowing face of a woman who does it and you can understand why.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe you already have a toned tummy, lack cellulite, and are at your ideal weight. If so, congratulations but you are pretty much 1 out of a few thousand. If you are like the rest of us then you have probably spent weeks in aerobics class with no results, tried forcing yourself in awkward yoga positions, or crunched yourself half to death, and are still not seeing the results you want.</p>
<p>One of the reasons for this is the fact that exercise is just plain boring. It is repetitive, seems to take forever, and is hard to get motivated for.</p>
<p>That was, at least, until pole dancing fitness came along. Sure the idea of pole dancing may the last thing you expected to help mould your body into top form, but it is working for women all across the country. Whether pole dance fitness is done in the home or at a gym, the results are undeniable and the exercise is fun.</p>
<p>It is not necessarily surprising that pole dancing could improve your fitness levels, especially when you consider the effort it takes to hold your body against a pole using only your abs. But what is surprising is the fact that you will notice a difference in your body within weeks of pole dancing, without actually realizing how much work you are putting in. No you body will not change overnight, but the physical benefits for your entire body will begin to show up in the mirror before you know it. Pole dancing fitness can help you strengthen your core, tone your upper body, empower your legs, tone your bum, and give you a huge boost in self-esteem.</p>
<p>Unlike any other type of fitness or exercise, pole dancing really helps you get in touch with your body and give you control over your muscles, when improving your fitness. This awareness of your body shows in your overall confidence, and can allow you to really improve your life on the whole. You will be more confident at work, at home, and may even notice a positive influence on your love life.</p>
<p>Break free from that boring exercise routine, and do something that you and your body will actually enjoy. With pole dancing fitness you can feel better and look better without even feeling like you are putting any work in at the gym.</p>
<p>More fun and more confidence pole dancing fitness is a trend that you simply cannot ignore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The acceptance of stripping and dancing in the home was not very high. If anything it was rejected. But things are difference and it is more accepted than it was back in the day. Sex is not looked upon as it was a long time ago and is looked at as more of a fashion than that of taboo.</p>
<p>Who’s who girls, and it girls alike are not only participants in Strippersise, but also have poles set up in their own bedrooms. Strippercise is a class that people can get involved in at the gyms. Having a pole in the bedroom offers its extreme rewards.

The use of the pole can be looked upon as being an essential tool for relationships. It is something that has several women talking about how it makes them feel a sense of sexiness, in addition to the excitement they experience with it and just how much fun it is to use.</p>
<p>There has been an improvement with the dancers and the clubs found in the nation of Europe. Dancers are more experienced and using brass for spins after many years performing in boxes, as well as cages that were rather dull. The powerful and influential changes have had a bit of a domino effect in the United States of America. Some clubs have implemented the use of brass <a href="http://www.poledancespa.com">dancing poles</a> for their dancers to perform with. People could have a very grand time with these poles and show what they have, turning the place inside out.</p>
<p>To elaborate further on Strippercise, it is the latest hot thing going on in health and in the fitness world all over the nature. It is spreading faster than fire gone wild. In addition to Strippercise is another hot craze named Cardio-Strip. These types of classes help build confidence levels in women, regardless of any discriminatory factors like age, size, shape and so on. Participants can connect with their inner sexiness, too, that aids to building confidence in their sexuality where it may have lacked and adding more on to where it already existed. Every major city, like San Francisco, Los Angeles and Los Vegas, holds classes for <a href="http://www.poledancespa.com/introduction-to-pole-dancing/">pole dancing</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.poledancespa.com">Pole dancing</a> is a combination of gymnastics and dancing and fits under the umbrella of performance arts. This type of art is more on the sensual side of things that uses a vertical pole, hence the name pole dancing. Pole dancers can be found performing in clubs with a male audience and this includes strip clubs. Chinese poles are not that much different from the vertical dancing poles. Those types of poles are what many have seen in non-sensual performance acts like at the circus or on stage, like the cabaret. The movements in pole dancing are meant to be erotic.</p>
<p>To have a more advanced level of pole dancing, one needs to have a high level of not just flexibility but also endurance and strength. Pole dancing in strips clubs is more dancing where the dancer may perform a lap dance, strip tease or Go-Go dance. This type of dancing is more along the lines of simple athletic moves against a vertical pole or some performers may choose to just hold onto the pole. More advanced movements would be spinning or climbing. If a performer has the a great deal of strength, then performing acts that involve the upper body like body inversions would be possible to perform. In order for a performer to be proficient, then having core strength is a needed, which is all developed over a period of time. On the other hand circus acts with pole dancing are more about gymnastic movements. Both of these types require skill at some level that does not happen overnight.</p>
<p>Pole dancing, in today’s world, has taken on the form of exercising. Along with anaerobic types of workouts, pole dancing is used in aerobics, too. Pole dancing has become so popular that it has grabbed schools’ attention to implement it minus the sexual part of it.</p>
<p>The standard pole is made out of either steel or brass material. It is formed into a circular shape and hollow inside. For stability, the ideal placement and position of the pole is to be firmly attached into the floor and going up in a vertical line to be connected at the ceiling. There are nightclubs that do not attach poles at the ceiling because of the height of the ceiling is too high. As a result, these clubs just position the pole at the floor only. This also applies to transportable devices. The standard size of <a href="http://www.poledancespa.com">dancing poles</a> in the USA has an estimate of five centimeters (two inches) in diameter. In Asian, the standard is set at 45 millimeters. The set standard for both countries is to be the average fit for most performers to gain a comfortable grip on as they perform.</p>
<p>The other kind of pole meant for spinning is called the spinning pole. This type of pole using ball bearings and does in fact spin. The purpose is for the performance act to be more dramatic through a much more momentum gain and speed.</p>
<p>There are different versions of dancing poles available for consumers to buy that can be used for practical reasons and inside of an individual’s home. One good practical reason is aerobics. Brass dancing poles can be bought or in chromed steel. Other materials it can be bought in are powder coating, acrylic “glow poles” with light-emitting diode (LED) lights. Poles can even be purchased in a coat of titanium or stainless steel that is well polished.</p>
<p>There are different types of materials that are more suitable for specific levels of grip. Performers that require a fast but more fluid type of dance would be more consistent with a steel pole that is polished. Brass poles are better for gaining more friction and producing slow but nice sensual pole dancing acts. Such brass poles are easier to grip with not just the hands, but the thighs as well.</p>
<p>Threading is the element responsible for keeping a pole firmly into place at the ceiling level. Tension setups are ideal for poles where threading is not needed. Two other pole types in addition to stationary poles are poles that can be switched and ones that rotate.</p>
<p>There are clubs that have poles made of clear plastic and with visual effects. On the inside can be found reflective elements in combination with water and glitter. The purpose of these elements is to be easy on the eyes, thus appealing when such lightings like strobe and base joist are added.</p>
<p>Plastic poles with visual effects tend to easily generate a good deal of friction that can be more bothersome for performers than anything else. Sliding up and down the pole causes friction very easily and it is especially annoying when the performers want to add special types of movements into their dance routine. This is the top reason performers do not favor this type of pole.</p>
