Usually when one hears the phrase “pole dancing”, the mind conjures up a seedy image of stiletto-clad naked women gyrating and twirling around a brass pole in a smoky, dimly lit nightclub filled with lecherous old men.

More and more that image is becoming a thing of the past. Today’s pole dancer is not the down-on-her-luck victimized stripper, she’s the empowered, independent, strong, professional, fully-clothed woman who is looking for a sensual way to keep her body fit and keep her flexibility in peak condition.
