For as long as human kind can remember, women have gotten shamed and blamed for everything. If you wear red lipstick, youβre wild; if you wear a dress, youβre asking for it; if you’re a women and pole dancing, youβre a loose woman… Itβs time to stop with all the stereotypes and take them down one by one, starting with pole dancing.
Pole dancing is not about stripping. Pole dancing is about taking who you are and challenging what you can be. Itβs about strength, confidence, fitness and feeling confident in your own mind and body. Itβs taking ownership of your body and using it to express yourself with an art form.
Think of all the things you keep silent about, and then think about what itβd be like to say those things out loud. With dancing and through dancing, women reach the strength and courage they need say those things they sometimes canβt. Pole dancing may have an association with stereotypes but honestly, what doesnβt? Donβt let connotations stop you from doing something that can empower you and you might enjoy. Try it once. If you donβt like it, no harm done, but you just might discover something new about yourself in the process.
