I haven't started pole dancing. Where I live it would be to hard for me to get to a studio, So I'm saving up to get pole. But I hope you don't mind if I answer. 

As far as I can tell there really is no difference between Stripping and pole dancing really. The only difference is that Strippers work at a Strip club and get paid to take off their clothes and the audience is mostly male.  While pole dancers don't get naked and the audience is mostly female.. It doesn't matter if the person on the pole is  in a club, in a studio, at competition, or at home, the person that is on the pole is working out and getting the benefit of it. How much you want to learn is up to you as well. 

 I find it intersecting that some of the women writing here, equate stripping with the sexy style of dancing. But I doubt the would call Althea Austin, Leigh Ann Orsi, or Felix Cane a stripper.  Everyone should have the ability to dance, however they want and not be looked down on for it.

I've been lurking in the forums here and in youtube videos with pole dancing. And over and over I see comments about how the dancer is too sexy or stripper-ish or the dancer is classy and not a slut. While some of the comments are from men, many of the comments are from women. It seems that female sexuality is still scary for many people. 

I think that children should be allowed to do pole dancing. People are afraid that the children will grow up to be strippers and they are afraid that pedos will target these children. If someone looks at a child doing pole dancing and thinks it's sexy it just shows their is something wrong with that person. As long as the parents are there when the kids are in class, I don't have a problem with it. As long as the kids are going to school, I don't see the problem with kids learning to pole dance.
