Stripper or Fitness | How to
Explain Dancing Pole to
Your Kids?

Explaining pole dancing for fitness
at home to kids isn't easy to do but
definitely possible. I've been asked
many times by friends or relatives,
Is Pole Dancing Bad? or if it is a
negative influence on their kids and
teenagers as it is mainly associated
with strippers? Well I have to
mention this perspective is without
doubt disappointing to the proud
strippers out there who take pride
in their job and such views will
contribute to the stigmatisation
and marginalisation of the
community.

I always tell my mother that
during the Victorian times,
showing the ankle for a lady
was considered a big NO NO,
but overtime, our perception
evolved and Victoria’s Secret
Lingerie, modern fitness bra
and fitness shorts are the
great signs of the shift in
view among the masses.

Perhaps more time is needed for the
masses to respect and accept the stripper's
lifestyle as their rightful personal choice
BUT this perception should not be a barrier
between YOU and the Pole. We need to
understand just because a stripper pole is
used a certain way doesn’t mean it was
designed for that purpose only.

For instance the internet; The internet is
a wonderful space for learning and shop
for dance poles but there are many ways
this tool can be used; for example, 35% of
the web downloads are pornography
which is among the top 5 reasons the
world wide web is being used and yet we
allow our kids to explore this virtual
world freely and independently.

as other use of the Internet

The internet can be used in many
different ways, some uses of this great
tool are commonly approved and some
other uses are not, but what we all
approve is a responsible and mindful
way of using it such as Pole YouTube
tutorials. Same perspective applies to
Pole.

There are many benefits of pole fitness
and pole workout that can be explained to
kids in order to introduce this amazing
fitness, dancing and entertaining tool to
them. So to answer the question; Is Pole
dancing stripping? The quick answer
would be; No.
Is There a Difference Between
Pole Dancing and Stripping?

Dancing Pole was historically and initially
used by men for acrobatic shows as
opposed to being a tool for sensual
expression. There is a sport side to this
tool which is overshadowed by all the
stigma.

The Dance Pole is basically a vertical
apparatus which mainly challenge your
body weight against the gravitational
force.

Pole dancing moves like the Iron X,
Dead Lift Handspring, Superman
and many more are among the list
of moves that requires weeks to
months and in some cases, even
years of commitment and practice
to achieve.

T h e b e a u t y i n p o l e f i t n e s s i s i t s
combination of multiple sports into one
which increases the chance of building
physical strength and gaining skills in a
wider spectrum. Gymnastics, Ballet, Aerial
Silk, Acrobalance, Acroyoga, Contortion,
Parkour and several others are among the
list of sports genres interlinked with pole
fitness.

This attraction in pole dancing hasn’t gone
unnoticed by society and we can see the
growing demand on beginner pole dancing
classes and general enquiries on "how to
start pole dancing?" as well as mothers
asking "how to learn pole dancing at home?"
and of course the increased demand for
poles in our Pole Shop is testament to this
change.

There are some mothers out there who
enjoy the pole not just because it helps
them with their physical development
and fitness, but they enjoy the sensual
side of pole dancing and how it makes
them feel empowered and attractive.
Should I Hide My Pole From My
Kids If I Enjoy It The Sensual
Way?

Some of these ladies feel like their sensual use and
expressions may seem inappropriate and set a wrong
example for their kids on pole dancing. Some moms even
hide their pole from their teenagers and only set it up or
use it once they are not around. In my opinion, it is best
to normalise and be open about sensitive and sexual
subjects with our children so they receive their
information from a safe source and they have someone
to come back to when they have questions or issues
relating to the subject. But if this is uncomfortable for
some mothers, to be open about their sensual expression
on the dancing pole, it is absolutely understandable to
keep it as a private matter until they feel their children
are ready to know.
Should I Hide My Pole From My Kids If I
Enjoy It The Sensual Way?

In any case, I believe it is always important to
share the fitness side of pole dancing with
your kids. There are many YouTube videos
that show beginner pole tricks all the way to
advanced pole dancers showing their physical
strength and art on the pole and this will help
to enhance the children’s perspective. If they
showed interest, then we can perhaps teach
them beginner pole tricks step by step.

Tricks to Normalise Dancing Pole Around the House

One of the coolest trick I discovered to
make kids and teenagers comfortable
with pole dance is by giving them a
beginner challenge on the pole and
showing them how they can execute it.
This way, they will realise that pole
fitness or even pole dance is not easy at
all, and understand the physical strength
needed to use a pole.


We could tell our children the fact that men
and women who build their body with gym
routines for pole dancers and using pole as
their fitness tool are known to have more
muscle strength than men and women who
lifts heavy weights. We can see plenty of videos
online of men with Hercules body shapes
attempt pole dancing moves but struggle
because lifting weight is not the same as
manipulating ones own body weight on the
pole, to build strength.


Children have amazing curious minds with so
much flexibility and openness. Of course, like
anyone else, they are the product of their
environment and their perception can be
changed or modified with proper exposure and
correct introduction. It is true that strippers
are commonly known to use the pole, but it is
important for kids to know that there is a
difference between how and why strippers use
the pole, and how you use the pole. In the
process of normalising this amazing tool for our
kids and introducing other aspects of it like
pole fitness however, lets ensure we educate
them to not look down on any group and keep
in mind that strippers and sexual entertainers
are not the dark side of the pole. Pole has no
dark side but only options to choose from.
