7 Reasons Why Pole Dance is Empowering


Hi everyone! You’re probably thinking about pole dance which is why you’re here and wondering if this is something for you.

For one, pole dance is more than dancing with a pole. It's a whole new world and it can change your life. Pole dance is for everyone and it is empowering.

I’ve listed my favorite reasons why I think you should try it.

Builds Strength, Flexibility, and Energy.

One obvious reason why I love pole dance is because it builds strength, flexibility, and energy. Oftentimes we find ourselves drained and with no energy from all the things we’ve got to do at home and in work, so how do we beat that exhaustion? By gaining energy and strength from a new hobby like pole dance. Pole dance, although fun with all the expressive ways to dance, also happens to require physical strength. Knowing you can lift your whole body is empowering. You may not think you can but you will be amazed that all that practicing to get to those pole tricks and moves builds your muscles up. Along with that, pole dance eventually increases your flexibility since it requires you to reach out, bend, and even twist to get into those pole dance moves. Plus point is that you also improve your posture and balance too. Of course with all this movement which is pretty much a work out, pole dance eventually gives you added energy to get through a day.


Fun Way to Work Out.

If you’re looking for something new and fun to do then pole dance is something to try out. Pole dance allows you to discover moves you thought you never had. If you don’t think you’re a dancer, you’ll be surprised you will be when you try pole dance out. Plus along with the pole dance itself, being in the community of pole dancers is an added fun itself. Having fellow pole dancers to cheer you on through your pole dance experience is fun.


Builds Confidence

If you’re reading this it’s probably because this thought has come to your mind, “ I don’t think I can pole but it sounds so good and fun.” Well pole dance will show you a whole new you. All pole dancers start from the basics and most of the time that includes a whole lot of self doubt. But guess what, that self doubt eventually goes away with all the hard work, practice and determination. You will be surprised that you can lift your body up and do those pole moves and that builds your confidence up. Learning a new trick each time and then being able to do it is a boost to your self esteem.


Gives You “Me Time”

In this world of constant work, me time is often hard to find. I know how it can be when you get busy with work, then busy with baby, then busy with hubby, and you find yourself wondering when you can get busy with you. Pole dance is the perfect excuse to give you time for yourself.

Not only does pole dance give you time for yourself, but also a safe place for self discovery. As you do pole routines, you find a space where you can not just motivate yourself to do those difficult tricks but also think about your passions, goals, and build relationships with your fellow pole dancers too. Me time is self care which results in an empowered woman.


Makes You Happier

It’s no secret that working out releases endorphins aka happy hormones. A good source of this hormone is physical exercise. These endorphins interact with the receptors in our brain and help reduce the perception of pain. So even if it does hurt to climb that pole and stretch out to do that trick, the pain aka pole bruises can’t be compared to the happy hormones you feel. Of course when you’re happy, this means you feel less anxious and stressed too. That’s a win for any woman!


Improves Overall Physical and Mental Health

As mentioned before pole dance has so many benefits in terms of physicality and when our physical bodies are at balance this then improves other aspects like sleep and energy. It also has a positive impact on your mental health as it can be an instant mood booster, plus helps you reduce stress and anxiety.


Brings You to a Community Full of Love, Care, and Support

Last but not least pole dance brings you to a community full of love, care, and support. If you’re looking to finally venture out and have a social life, pole dance is a great venue to do so. The pole community is one welcoming and supportive. You won’t be left behind because there will always be someone to help you up (literally and figuratively.) You also get the opportunity to learn from pole dancers all over the world, from those who have been doing it for years or someone who just started out too. The different backgrounds and stories to share is a great boost and empowers you as an individual and community.

Convinced to try pole dance out now? I hope you are!

You will fall in love with yourself :)
