Latest Style Blog: Misc: Pole Dancing
Think of pole dancing and images of nude women, swinging seductively around a fixed pole, come up. Interestingly though, pole dancing wasn’t meant for strip dancing at all. Its origin, like many things medieval, is not quite clear. According to some theories, the beginnings were traced to a type of sexual dance of African tribes. Again, “mallakhamb” a popular Indian sport is similar to pole dancing, but this sport is meant for male athletes who perform on a wide, wooden pole with a wooden edge. In China, pole climbing is one of the main traditional performances. Here, too, this is performed by male athletes with the use of two 6-meter poles.
