Pole dance is a beautiful thing to do, no matter if you practice it as a hobby, compete on a regular basis or make a living out of it – that is if you ask us, but of course, we’ve all already lost our soul to this extraordinary art form. So what are other reasons to start pole dance?
Well, we’ve gathered 10 good reasons in the following article and invite you to share your own personal reasons with us. What was it that made you start, and what is it that makes you keep up with it?
#1 Full-body workout
Pole dance is an excellent form of exercise that engages all major muscle groups in your body. It’s an effective way to tone your arms, legs, and core while also improving your flexibility, balance, and coordination. Also, pole dancing is a great cardio workout, especially while dancing choregraphies.
#2 Boost self-confidence
Pole dancing can help boost your self-confidence and body positivity by teaching you to love and appreciate your body for what it can do rather than what it looks like. It requires a certain level of vulnerability and bravery, and conquering new moves and routines can be the perfect boost to your self-confidence as well.
#3 Stress relief
Dancing, in general, is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. Pole dance, in addition, requires you to focus on the movements, which can help you take your mind off of any worries or stressors. Also, it is known that the released endorphins during dancing can help you feel more relaxed and at ease. Good to know: At Gravity Arts, we focus on the dancing part of pole dance in particular, so you can be sure to get your chance to dance it all out in each and every lesson.
#4 Improve posture
Pole dance can help improve your posture by strengthening the muscles in your back, shoulders, and core, which can help reduce the risk of back pain and other posture-related issues.
#5 Increase flexibility
Pole dance requires a lot of flexibility, so regular practice can help improve your range of motion and overall flexibility.
#6 Fun and creativity
Pole dancing is a fun and creative way to express yourself while getting in a great workout. You can incorporate your own style and flair into your movements, which can make it even more enjoyable.
#7 Build endurance
Pole dance requires a lot of physical strength and stamina, so regular practice can help build your endurance and increase your overall fitness level.
#8 Low impact
Pole dance is a low-impact form of exercise, which means it’s less likely to cause injuries to your joints than other forms of high-impact exercise – as long as it’s exercised carefully and under correct instruction. That’s why at Gravity Arts, we pay great attention to technique and always adjust to your level of strength so that you can be sure always to train safely and stay healthy.
#9 Build community
Pole dancing classes are a great way to meet new people and build a sense of community with other dancers. The pole community is a diverse universe where everybody is welcome, no matter their age, cultural background, gender, size or skill. We’re here to support each other, make each other feel good and have a great time together.
#10 Can be performed at any level
Pole dancing can be practiced at any level, from beginner to advanced. So it’s a great form of exercise for anyone who wants to improve their fitness level and have fun at the same time.
