Or popular myths about pole dancing

Do you feel like there's more misinformation about pole dancing than truth? We've gathered the most common myths and stereotypes to explain and, above all, debunk them.

You need to be stretched

As in any sport, stretching is an important part of every workout. Stretching improves muscle flexibility and strengthens them. But you don't have to worry if you can't do the splits on your first class! That's what training is for—to hone your skills and improve your fitness with each lesson.

Strong arms and pole dance training

Hands, like other muscles, develop and strengthen over time, but no one is born with "strong hands." As with stretching, it's an ongoing process. So don't worry if you're petite and have slim arms. Everything will come in time.

You don't have to have a perfect figure

Going to your first training session and feeling pressured about your figure? No need!

No one comes to a workout to judge your body or how you look. In keeping with the spirit of body positivity, we remind you that there's no such thing as a "perfect body" or a "perfect figure." All bodies are beautiful, regardless of size ☺

"Pole dancing? Is that the one for strippers?"
