Pole dancing is the latest exercise fad by many girls around the world. No longer is it just for gentleman’s clubs. If you take a look at the modern sport it has many parallels with gymnastics in fact I think that it is gymnastics for adults. Not many people would get away with rocking up to the gymnastics session with a bunch of 5 years olds or wouldn’t even attend a gym class if they thought they would be performing handstands, headstands, handsprings. Well that’s exactly what hundreds of girls all over the country are doing when they attend their local pole fitness lesson.

More about how it can be compared to gymnastics. Look at moves performed by advanced pole dancers, the iron cross, straight edge, twisted handspring, flag pole you need core strength, arm strength. It’s amazing for toning every part of your body. You even get a cardio workout.

Now we know what this new craze is let’s answer the question posed in the title: Are pole dancing shoes essential?

The short answer to that is NO, in fact many pole schools ask you not to wear stripper shoes as they are also called, and if you can perform a move without shoes you can most probably perform an advanced move whilst wearing them. Let’s take a look at the advantages of wearing pole dancing shoes.
