Here's a little article on my site: http://www.learn-pole-dancing.com/history-of-pole-dancing.html It goes ove the general history and how it came to the U.S and how it started as a fitness venue. 

Claire's book, The Pole Story http://poleskivvies.com/pole-dancing-clothing/2011/07/claire-sterretts-pole-story-book/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Poleskivvies+%28PoleSkivvies%29

 

is said to be one of those books that explains a lot about pole dancing…I have not read it yet and if anyone has, I'm interested in what you think about it!

I do tell people that I pole dance…and the uspdf calls it 'sensual athletic dance' so I am ok that it is considered a form of dance. Kind of like an aerobics dance class…you dont just say "Oh I do aerobics" if there is salsa and cumbia moves like in Zumba. I do not get offended when my husband may tell his friends that I pole dance-and they turn around and ask 'Well, do you give those private dances?" I have to laugh and I get an opportunity to enlighten them…they always say "NO disrepect ma'am! I didn't understand the difference!"

I compliled a few really good articles on my website about this very topic
