Pole dancers are a minority in general and Christian Pole dancers seem to be even more so. Other dances, tango, etc were inappropriate at one point but were eventually accepted.
Some of friends know I pole, others do not. Its not an issue of Christian vs. Non Christian. Its more an issue of open understanding people vs. those who don’t care to know more/ judge w/o knowing whole story. I choose to share with understanding people only.
As for sin in general, God sees sin as sin and will forgive any sin. Humans are the ones who say one sin is worse than the other. Judging others is just as bad of a sin as murder for example. That being said, we sin every day. Some sins do have more consequences in our world and it is best to avoid those. The Bible does mention sins to avoid but that is to protect us from consequences b/c God doesn’t want us to go down that road. God also doesn’t expect us to be perfect and will always forgive.
I’m a Christian pole dancer and also pole dance in dance clubs. I do regular dancing too but prefer pole. My husband was ok with public dancing b/c he knows my intention is to have fun with other polers. He will only watch me (in our home) and doesn’t want to see anyone else, even videos (b/c he knows his own boundaries.) Now if my thoughts start going towards other men or performing for them, then its up to ME to catch this and not head down that road. (I would find this wrong for ME to do.) I don’t think this is going to happen b/c when guys hit on me/talk to me, I mentioned husband w/o delay! Most of time women come up to me to ask about pole, not men.
Pole can be done so many ways and in different settings. Since it will never be "clear" if pole is an obvious sin (considering all the diff types/ variables) as murder (most would say this is a sin) I think you will have to trust your own boundaries/ sense of right and wrong. If you don’t feel comfortable after doing something , you can always go back track.I hope this helps!

Wow, I think you just found my "new store" that carries items that are more my style. I have a thing for corsets, vintage, and gorgeous things! Thanks for sharing. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif <~~~~my eyes trying to take it all in!

Hmm…you sound like me. I suspect you may be a scanner. There is a book about different types of scanners and different methods to enjoy it vs fight it. Most helpful book I’ve ever read.
Scanners love to read and write, to fix and invent things, to design projects and businesses, to cook and dance, etc etc. (I didn’t use the word "or, " because Scanners don’t love to do one thing or the other; they love them all.) "I Did That Already." – time to learn something new! Some interests I cycle back into and others I never do again after I’ve met a certain goal. The world is like a big candy store full of fascinating opportunities, and all I want to do is "taste" it all.
To read more:
http://www.getmotivation.com/articlelib/articles/barbara_sher_scanner.htmlPole is the only hobby I have stuck with for a while. I noticed my "obsession" has lessened a bit for me and wonder what that means for me. I’ll probably cycle in and out of it. I used to be upset with myself when I "couldn’t stick with things" but now I am proud to be a scanner and enjoy it!
I could be wrong , but do you think you could be a scanner? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Wow. Those "little boys" thought that they were so clever and funny… sounds like something from 4th grade. I’m glad the woman made him stop and put him in his place! Good for you for poling regardless and going to the top of the pole. lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

Mine is pretty simplistic but if things aren’t in place I don’t have as good as session.
I close all the doors in my house so my dog doesn’t wander around. I fill up my water bottle, water my pole plant (bamboo) and me, and put my rings in a pretty box.
I then set up my laptop/webcam and find music I like. I do a warmup and test the pole. I now set a timer b/c I get carried away if not! As soon as timer goes off, I’m only allowed one more song.
I have to the right song to do anything or else I don’t feel it, sometimes I’ll change it mid-song. I also change my outfits often on some days. I almost ALWAYS forget to wipe my pole down when I’m done, and 5-10 minutes later I remember and go back. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

That’s a funny story. I’ve told certain people and recently expand my "pole supporter"group. I just say I love to dance and most don’t ask for more. If they ask more, I say I do all kinds and mention my favorites, swing, bellydance and see their reaction to bellydance. Only then if I feel lead to, do I say more. I’ve only had one friend who didn’t take it well and didn’t care to hear my explanation. We are no longer friends for other reasons besides that. After that I changed my method of "testing" first! People closest to me know the most.

Good thread Roxy. I tend to like faster, dark, or dancy songs, so I didn’t have much in the slower category. Great selection everyone. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I just happen to stumble upon it using google. Google tends to put news stories towards the top related to what your searching.I’m from Ohio so I have no way of going. Do you know if they will make a DVD to purchase? I hope so!
I bet your excited about it! Have fun, I’m sure you will do great! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif After reading all of this, first thing on my wish list is a pole mat!

Did he say why he was uncomfortable for you to go alone? Maybe a female friend or someone in your class would meet up with you beforehand? Well, hopefully you can go to the next one!

Oh, Veena, my heart goes out to you and your family. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif I hope you can find some comfort and cherish great memories in time, but for now take all the time you need and take care of yourself during this sad time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif

I guess I never noticed b/c I have a specific email I use for forums only that forwards to my regular email. That way I can give people my email if needed until I know them better. Oops… Thanks. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

2. Was there a pole jam before going to the club or are we just doing the club thing?I can’t wait! See everyone soon. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I just caught that this would the first time he would see you dance. A positive first experience would be ideal and something just for him would be special vs him and everyone. Maybe you could squeeze in something in beforehand? Then he may know more how he feels about it as well. Just something to think about. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
