Introduction

Pole dancing is a great way to get in shape, feel sexy and have fun. Pole dancing classes are offered at studios and gyms all over the country. The style of pole dance you choose depends on your personal interests and abilities. This guide will help you figure out what type of pole dancer you'd like to be.

There are 8 styles of pole dancing, and they include:

You may have heard of the different styles of pole dancing, but do you know what they are? There are 8 main types of pole dance:

• Pole fitness

• Exotic pole dance

• Vertical/pole sport (formerly known as gymnastic or circus)

• Artistic pole dance (aka "ballroom")

• Pole sport also known as acrobatic, like ice skating on a vertical surface. The goal is to spin and make your body look like it's flying through the air with ease using only your body weight for momentum. It's really fun!

Pole fitness

• Pole fitness is a form of exercise that provides a full body workout.

• It can help you stay fit and lose weight.

• It's also great for relaxing and unwinding!

Exotic pole dance

Exotic pole dance is a style of dance that combines elements of pole dancing and exotic dancing. It is often performed to music in strip clubs, especially at night clubs and gentlemen’s clubs. Performers may be partially or completely nude.

Exotic pole dance can also be practiced as an athletic routine with a variety of different moves on the pole, such as spins and transitions between poses. As a form of entertainment, it has been described as an “art” form, but also as “a form of erotic performance art” which involves the use of “the human body” using “movement” and “dance steps (or poses)” to express its themes

Vertical/pole sport

Vertical/pole sport is a discipline of pole dancing in which the competitor performs athletic and artistic acrobatic pole tricks. Vertical/pole sport is a hybrid of gymnastics, dance and aerial ballet. It is distinct from other styles of pole dancing because it requires more strength and flexibility than most other types of performance or competition routines.

The rules for vertical/pole sport competitions vary by region; some federations and competitions require participants to use only natural grip methods on their hands and feet, while others allow prosthetic devices such as gloves or shoes to be used. Most vertical/pole sports competitions award points based on how long each performer can hold themselves upside down in one position (a move called "inverted"). Some also award points based on the number of rotations around the pole during a routine.

Artistic pole dance

Artistic pole dance is a style of pole dancing that combines elements of gymnastics, acrobatics and dance. The goal is to create a performance that conveys emotion through the body's movements.

While each person has their own unique way of approaching this form of dance, artistic pole dancers generally train for years before putting on a show in front of an audience. This can be done solo or with a partner. If you're interested in learning how to do it yourself, here are some tips:

• Find an instructor who teaches classes at your local studio or gym.

• Bring sneakers to wear during class so you don't slip off the poles while practicing!

• Keep up with your practice outside of class by practicing moves at home on days when you're not able to make it out (or even better—you could always invite some friends over).

Pole sport

Pole sports are similar to gymnastics in that they both involve the same body control, flexibility and strength. However, pole sport is more technical than gymnastics because it involves more complex moves such as spins, poses and other tricks.

The most dangerous aspect of pole sports is that it involves climbing a metal pole with no safety nets or harnesses. The risk of falling down is high if any mistakes are made during the performance.

Despite this danger and complexity, pole sports are extremely popular among female athletes who want to show off their physical prowess and grace on stage.

Acrobatic pole dance

Acrobatic pole dance is a combination of ballet, acrobatics and gymnastics. It's a great way to build strength and flexibility while having fun!

Acrobatic pole dance is a very technical style of pole dance. It requires coordination, rhythm and musicality to execute moves correctly. But don't let this intimidate you! Even if you don't have much experience in other forms of dance or gymnastics, you can still pick up acrobatic pole dance quickly because it's so much fun to learn!

Pole art

Pole art is a form of dance that uses the pole as a prop. It's not as athletic as other styles and doesn't require great strength or flexibility to execute. Instead, it's more about flow and expression. There are no tricks involved; rather than showing off with flips and spins, pole dancers focus on connecting with the music and building their own personal style through movement.

If you're new to pole dancing, don't be intimidated by its reputation! People tend to assume that because it involves poles, they must be able to do things like spin around them at high speeds or climb them like monkeys on fire - but those aren't real requirements for taking up the sport in any way whatsoever!

Chinese pole

The Chinese pole style of pole dancing originated in China and is performed on a 3.5m high pole. The performer spins the silk scarf around the pole using their hands, as well as spinning it with their body to create shapes in the air. This is an elegant dance that requires strength, flexibility and grace.
