Key Moves for Pole Dancing in Bristol  - The Performance Art

Pole dancing in Bristol 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 recently gained popularity as a mainstream form of fitness, practiced by many enthusiasts in gyms and in dedicated dance studios. Amateur and professional pole dancing competitions are held in countries around the world.

Pole dance requires significant muscular endurance and coordination as well as sensuality, in exotic dancing. Today, pole performances by exotic dancers range from basic spins and striptease in more intimate clubs, to athletic moves such as climbs and body inversions in the "stage heavy" clubs of Las Vegas and Miami. Dancer Remy Redd at the King of Diamonds, for example, is famous for flipping herself upside down into a split and hanging from the ceiling.[2] Pole dance requires significant strength and flexibility.[3] Upper body and core strength are required to attain proficiency, proper instruction, and rigorous training is necessary.[4][5] Since the mid 2000s, promoters of pole dance fitness competitions have been trying to change peoples' perception of pole dance to include pole fitness as a non-sexual form of dance and acrobatics, and are trying to move pole into the Olympics as pole sports.

Pole dancing Bristol : Keep Yourself Keep Fit and Strong, While Having Fun.

Pole dancing Bristol : keep yourself keep fit and strong, while having fun

Pole dancing Bristol attracts a lot of interest so if you've decided to have go, here's a detailed guide to what to expect from a great Pole dancing for beginners class. One thing is certain; this is a fantastic form of exercise and can do wonders for your strength, suppleness and muscle tone. And when it's learnt in a safe and professional environment its huge fun as well as a great workout. It's amazing for working the upper body – which not many dances can claim. In fact, there are many dances out there that provide virtually no work for the arms to do at beginner’s level. But that's not true this time... The tone that you'll get in those dreaded upper arms will be noticeable after even a short course of Pole dancing lessons.

If for some reason, the idea of your dancing being connected to the strip club scene is upsetting to you, if you desperately need to distance what you do from what those 'other girls' do, if you truly believe that you are doing this because it’s just a really good workout, then I strongly suggest you spend some time thinking about why you chose pole dancing.  Because there are a million ways to get fit without putting on six inch stilettos, a bikini and swinging sensually around a pole."  

There has been a push lately to distance "pole fitness" from the strip clubs.  While pole dancing is often associated with stripping, the strip clubs aren't even where pole dancing started.  What is the history of dancing on a pole?

Pole dancing Bristol, which dates as far back as the 12th Century, is a pagan fertility celebration.  One version was performed around a wooden pole, as dancers twisted ribbons around the pole as they danced.  You can usually see it recreated in modern times at Renaissance Fairs.Mallakhamb is an Indian sport where tricks are performed on a wooden pole.  It also possibly dates back to the 12th Century, and was revived in the 19th Century. The English translation of Mallakhamb is "pole gymnastics."  The pole used in Chinese Pole more closely resemble the poles used in modern day pole dance.  However, these poles are often covered in rubber to allow performers to "stick" better.  These two sports are generally male-dominated.

Although many people are trying to make pole dancing about fitness-only by adding gymnastics-inspired moves or taking contortion classes in order to bend in amazing ways, we should still acknowledge to the roots from which it was born.  There are many ways in which we can get in shape so if we are bothered by the exotic roots of pole dance, perhaps we should find another fitness routine.
