About Us

This organization works to provide instruction in pole dancing. Although pole dancing is increasingly seen as a sport or fitness routine, we aim to prioritize its origins in our practice of it. Sex workers and other workers in ''informal" or "alternative" professions were practicing and cultivating pole dancing long before it become more mainstream. We believe that the active attempt to verbally cleanse pole dancing by separating it from its origins in sex work enacts violence upon this marginalized group. As a club, we refuse to indulge in this cleansing by exclusively invoking pole dancing as a fitness regimen which developed in a vacuum rather than one that came and comes from a systemically oppressed group and culture. We are committed to honoring this group and expressing the multitudes that exist within the craft of pole dancing while working in active opposition to individuals and systems that seek to harm this group.
