Do you tell other people that you pole dance?

Hey everyone! Generally I don't really care what other people think and I am pretty open with others in my age group (20s) about pole dancing. My whole family is very conservative but my mom knows about my new obsession - she just doesn't want my dad to find out, which is difficult for me because I am so excited about pole dancing and would like to share my stories and accomplishments with them both. I am not sure why she doesn't want my dad to know (since I think he'd be understanding) other than she might not want him to be at all uncomfortable about it or get any weird images in his head whenever he thinks about it. I really want to tell him because I hate keeping secrets but she'd be angry if he found out. Unfortunately despite pole dancing's rising popularity it is still a difficult subject to bring up, especially because all of the stereotypes - I feel like I have to come prepared with a video of Felix Cane or Becca Butcher or Karol Helms or Michelle Stanek before anybody gets the picture that the pole dancing I do is not about stripping, it's a uniquely challenging sport that should be respected despite its sexiness. However, that part is also what makes pole dancing so much fun! It's frustrating because while I don't want anybody (especially my parents!) to have an image in their heads of me grinding naked against a pole, I also don't want to strip pole dancing of its sexiness (and don't believe I should have to just for the sake of other people's opinions!) At the same time, there seems to be a line of "appropriateness" for some less open-minded people that shouldn't be crossed, and I don't want it getting back to the rest of my conservative family (and select others) that I pole dance - especially since they don't have all of the facts. How do you all handle stuff like this? xo HollySatine
