What is Pole Dancing?

Pole dancing is a form of performance art and acrobatics, commonly associated with strip clubs and night clubs, which combines dance and acrobatics centered on a vertical burlesque pole. The origin of pole dancing isn’t entirely known, but this unique and sexy art form may have started out as a type of dance performed only by strippers and exotic dancers, but in the last several years has gained popularity as a form of fitness and mainstream entertainment – practiced not just by professional dancers, athletes and strippers, but also by amateur enthusiasts in gyms and dance studios all around the world. The history of pole dancing is short, but the benefits of pole dancing are great! In fact, pole dancing has become so popular in the last decade that a wide range of amateur and professional competitions are now held in dozens of countries all around the world.

Performing a pole dance is not as easy as it looks. Pole dancing requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance – as a pole dancer needs to perform both simple and complex dance moves involving climbs, spins, jumps, mounts, and body inversions using the arms and legs to grip her or her metal dance pole. Upper body strength as well as a strong core are required by any pole dancer wishing to attain proficiency at the modern pole dance… and consistent training is a must, which is why pole dancing classes and pole dancing clubs have become so popular in recent years. See the bottom of this page for more information on pole dancing classes and how to become a professional pole dancer.

X Pole Dance Poles

A pole dancing pole is also known as a: dance pole, dancing pole, striper pole, fitness pole, vertical pole, spinning pole, exercise pole, stripping pole, peekabook pole, stripper pole or a portable pole.

Not just any metal pole is used for pole dancing. Typical pole dancing poles consists of a long, smooth, hollow steel or brass tube with a circular cross section, running from the floor to the ceiling. Professional dance poles (also known as stripper poles) are often times affixed at the ceiling, giving the pole additional stability, but this is not always the case – especially at night clubs that have super high ceilings… or at locations where a portable dance pole is required (such as a home or work environment).

Most of the dance poles you’ll find for at-home use are about the same size and length… and many home enthusiasts equip their dance area with a pole dance crash mat – which comes in handy when one is still learning.

In the United States, the portable pole dancing poles have a diameter measuring around 5 cm (50 mm or 2 inches), allowing it to be gripped comfortably with one hand (or with the legs). In Asia and in many other parts of the world, however, the pole dance pole diameter is usually 4.5 cm (45 mm) or less. The X Pole Xpert (which is a spinning and stationary dance pole), for instance, comes in both 45 mm and 50 mm sizes, while the X Pole Sport (a non-spinning dance pole) is only available with a 45 mm diameter.

Materials of which poles are made include polished stainless steel, chromed steel, brass, powder coating, and titanium coating. Each material surface has different gripping properties. Polished steel is one of the slickest materials, which gives you a faster, more fluid dance, and is great for spins; brass poles provide more friction, allowing for an easier hold during inverts and poses and creating a slow, sensual dance style. And products such as chalk, “Dry Hands” or “iTac” may be used to help your hands stay stuck to the pole.

X Pole Xpert – Best Pole Dancing Pole

What most people don’t know about modern pole dancing is that there are two different types of poles used for pole dancing. There are static (non-spinning poles)… and there is the spinning pole, which as its name suggests, is similar to a standard static dance pole, but is special because it spins in circles with the use of ball bearings (similar to those you might find inside a skateboard wheel).

The purpose of a spinning pole is to create more momentum and higher rates of speed when spinning and dancing around the pole, thereby providing one’s audience with a greater dramatic effect. If you’re just starting out with pole dancing, you might be tempted to buy a simple static pole (in order to save money) and then upgrade to a spinning pole in the future. But if you’re willing to spend the small amount of extra money required to get your hands on a spinning pole, it’s really worth the investment, as spinning poles like the X Pole Xpert not only better showcase your pole dancing tricks, but they’re a whole lot more fun as well.

X Pole Stage: While pole dancing may have started in the strip clubs, modern pole dancing has moved to the home. Portable dance poles (aka “home versions”) are now available almost anywhere in the world and can be used for practice or aerobic exercise. These new at-home pole dancing poles are usually between 7 and 9 feet long, allowing them to fit the floor to ceiling heights found in 90% of the homes across the world. These portable dance poles can be adjusted to fit any ceiling height within their range and use tension between the floor and a ceiling joist to securely fasten the dance pole in place. Watch this dancing pole installation video and you’ll see how portable pole dancing poles, like the ones you find for sale on this website, are installed. It’s super easy!

X Pole USA – X Pole UK – X Pole Australia

The X Pole (sometimes also referred to as the XPole) comes in three basic varieties: X Pole Xpert (55mm), X Pole Xpert (45mm), and the X Pole Sport (45 mm). The two X Pole Xpert dancing poles are basically identical, except that the diameter on the two poles differs by just 5mm. The reason for this difference comes from the face that pole dancers in the United Stats and many other parts of the world are used to performing on a 50mm diameter pole, while dancers in Asia and a few other parts of the world are more accustomed to pole dancing poles with a 45mm diameter.

Pole Dancing Clothes & Shoes

Performing a pole dancing is an extremely physical activity. Pole dancing combines gymnastics, dance, and elements of burlesque into one unique art form. And because pole dancing is so physical, it requires a unique set of pole dancing clothes in order to be successful.

Modern pole dancers and those taking professional pole dancing class, usually dress in a pair of tight fitting shorts combined with a separate tight-sitting top (similar to a sports bra) to cover their breasts, while at the same time exposing their back and stomach. Exotic dance wear is not required, although it is still in by professional pole dancers and those performing in front of an audience of any kind.
The secret to a good pole dancing outfit is keeping your private parts covered up and tucked in, while at the same time remaining sexy. T-shirts and baggy clothes are not ideal for pole dancing clothes. Instead, tight, form-fitting clothes are required. Tight, form-fitting shorts, like those worn by runners, yoga instructors, and gym rats are also extremely good options for a pair of pole dancing shorts.
