Interesting fact on  Pole dancers for hire

Pole dance combines dance and acrobatics centered around a vertical pole. This performance art form takes place not only in gentleman’s clubs as a form of erotic dance, but also as a mainstream form of fitness, practiced in gyms and dedicated dance studios.^[1] Amateur and professional pole dancing competitions are held in countries around the world.

Pole dance requires significant muscular endurance, coordination, strength, flexibility, upper body and core stability, as well as sensuality.^[2] As such, proper instruction and rigorous training are necessary to attain proficiency.^[3][4] 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.^[5] Since the mid-2000s, promoters of pole dance fitness competitions have tried 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 dance is regarded as a form of exercise^[6] which can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. Recognized schools and qualifications are now commonplace.^[7]

The use of a pole for sports and exercise dates back at least 800 years to the traditional Indian sport of mallakhamb,^[8] which employs endurance and strength principles with a wooden pole wider in diameter than a modern standard pole. The Chinese pole, dating back to the 12th century, uses two poles on which men would perform “gravity-defying tricks” as they leap from pole to pole, at approximately twenty feet in the air.^[9]

Pole dance in America has its roots in the “Little Egypt” traveling sideshows of the 1890s, which featured sensual “Kouta Kouta” or “Hoochie Coochie” belly dances,^[10] performed mostly by Ghawazi dancers making their first appearance in America.^[11] In an era where women dressed modestly in corsets, the dancers, dressed in short skirts and richly adorned in jewelry, caused quite a stir.^[12][13] During the 1920s, dancers introduced pole by sensually gyrating on the wooden tent poles to attract crowds.^[14]

The rock and roll invasion in the 1950s saw the introduction of the pole to a broader audience, with Elvis Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” movie and video in 1957. The video featured Presley’s famous gyrating hips as well as numerous pole slides, grinds, and twirls.^[15] Eventually, the pole dancing moved from tents to bars and combined with burlesque dance. Since the 1980s, pole dancing has incorporated athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and inversions into striptease routines, first in Canada and then in the United States. In the 1990s, pole dancing commenced being taught as art by Fawnia Mondey, a Canadian who moved to Las Vegas, US. She is known as the world’s first pole dancing instructor.^[16] Since then, pole dancing classes have become a popular form of recreational and competitive sport, practiced and performed in a variety of sexual, non-sexual, and athletic settings.
