Benefits of Aerial Dance

As any other kind of creative involvement which includes physical exercise, Aerial Dance offers gradual muscular strengthening and well-being and enhances flexibility and posture. It also helps concentration and body-spirit coordination and triggers feelings of confidence, joy and satisfaction in everyone.

Contemporary Pole Dance

The nature of Pole Dance has changed significantly within the years. Not so long ago people associated it exclusively with sensual movement and striptease aesthetics. This has now changed. Pole Dance is a way to express oneself. The possibilities of this aerial dance style are endless in the aesthetic-artistic part, as new creative approaches emerge continuously.

Pole Dance Evolution

International Pole Dance Fitness Association: "Since the mid 2000s, pole dance fitness enthousiasts have been trying to change peoples’ perception of pole dance and to promote it as a non-sexual form of dance and acrobatics. Pole dance is now considered as a form of performance art, which combines dance and acrobatics centered around a vertical pole.."
