Another Pole Dancing Magazine Hits The Stands
Paige Warthen,
Many people ask? What is pole dancing? .......Pole dance is a performing art form that combines dance and gymnastics. Although pole dance is often seen in strip clubs, it is also regarded by many as a form of exercise. Pole dance requires dancers to have tremendous strength, endurance and flexibility. Intense pole dancing increases muscle strength and tone as it uses the body as resistance, and can be used as either an aerobic or anaerobic workout.
Pole dance involves performing dance and gymnastics moves with a vertical pole. Dance poles are usually hollow steel or brass and reach from the floor to the ceiling. A pole dancer often uses the pole to perform moves such as climbs, spins, and back bends.
Although pole dancing is associated mostly with women, men are beginning to realize some of the benefits of pole dancing. Pole dance classes and competitions are becoming more and more common.
Dodai Stewart —In November of last year, the premiere issue of Pole Spin magazine arrived, and, as far as we could tell, it was the only magazine dedicated to The International Pole Dance Fitness & Lifestyle. But now! Meet Vertical, a new bimonthly publication about the "sport and performance of pole."
Vertical's first issue is online, in inside you'll find stories like "How The Pole Saved My Life"; a fashion-y pole shoot inspired by Black Swan and a piece from a male pole dancer, who writes:
"What Cirque show are you in?" That is the number one question I get when I tell people I'm a pole artist. As a male pole performer in Las Vegas people automatically assume that I perform in one of the Cirque du Soleil productions. Luckily I've never been asked if I was a stripper.Does the world need two magazines dedicated to pole dancing? Are there enough advertisers to keep these mags afloat? Will people finally start to get the message that pole fitness does not involve stripping? Stay tuned.
