If this is a little encouragement, my mom is a Baptist minister andI grew up in the church. I took pole to reconnect to my sensuality and to feel more confident and strong. I told my mom that I started pole dancing and her first reaction was laughter. I’m over fourty but she just smiled and said that I was the one in the family who wasn’t afraid to try new things. She sees my strength and the smile on my face when I reach a pole trick. If my mom approved who is probably probably the super Christian, then I know God knows my heart and I’m ok. I don’t worry about the judgment of others.
