Pole dancing is a recent addition to the US fitness industry but there have already been numerous sport specific injuries. Just type "pole dancing accident" into any YouTube or Google browser. Greg Welch M.S, a physiologist and the owner of Specifit, believes that the most likely injuries from pole dancing can occur at the rotator cuff, a group of small muscles that surround and protect the shoulder ball and cuff socket.

Overuse is the #1 reason for injury. Physical performance... requires training to prevent injury --- Greg Welch

Here's my Sensual Girls Guide to the six questions you should ask your instructor to ensure she is up to date about pole dancing fitness and safety.

1. Does she have a current Fitness Certification?

Although it's not a requirement in every US state, a group fitness or personal training certification is essential for any fitness instructor. American Council on Exercise (ACE) and Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) are two of the most common US fitness organizations. They require certified instructors to prove their fitness knowledge with written and demonstrative testing. All US certifications also require the instructor to maintain an understanding of current fitness research, and trends, through continuing education.

Benefit to you: Your instructor will help you avoid common fitness injuries with a proper warm-up, muscle specific stretching, and knowledge of first aid techniques.

2. Does she have a Pole Dancing Certification or License?

Besides a fitness certification, your instructor should have a pole dancing certification or License. Many pole specific workshops include the basic pole dancing spins and safety techniques. Some also include 100 mentoring hours with a master instructor to ensure the new teacher learns successful training methods. There are multiple pole dancing programs available that are supported by current fitness organizations. Both AFAA and ACE offer Pole Dancing Fitness and Safety continuing education for instructors.I am a Licensed Level 1 & 2 PoleCat Power Method instructor which includes the AFAA accepted workshops for Pole Dance Skills and Injury Prevention.

Benefit to you: Your pole dancing classes will be taught using a proven method that has worked safely and effectively for hundred of students.

3. Does she have a strong safety focus?

Pole dancing is based on spinning around a pole with your feet off the ground. That makes it an aerial art form with all the beauty and possible injuries from falling. Your instructor should understand aerial dance and pole spotting techniques as well as have alternative modifications for students with a wide variety of fitness levels. She should also use proper safety equipment, such as pole mats and grip aids.

Benefit to you: Your instructor will provide a safe environment, quality equipment, and be able to adjust or fully support your weight during a difficult trick.

4. Does she know poles?

Throw a Pole Party in Your Bedroom

Author: madambutterfly

First, you'll need to re-ignite your thirst for adventure in the bedroom. If your sex-life is already hot enough, you may not need to add another level. However, if it could use some sprucing up, here's an idea. Every man, or most men, enjoy personalized attention so why not put on a show just for him. Have a dance pole installed in your bedroom or anyplace in the home that discreet activities occur.

By placing a dance pole in your bedroom, you're opening up a whole new realm of possibilities to surpass the previous condition of your sex life. Portable dance poles can be installed and removed in minutes. Your significant other won't need to fantasize about an erotic dancer putting on a show just for them. You can do it in the comfort of your very own home.

Once the portable pole has been purchased and installed. Plan a sensual night of romance with your s/o in mind. Have them seated front row center at the start of the "show".

Turn on soft seductive music and allow it to set the stage for your performance. Begin slowly massaging the pole while maintaining eye contact with your s/o. Pretend the pole is your s/o as you begin to slowly wrap yourself around it. Allow your imagination to control your actions as you and pole become one.

To make things a little more interesting, have your s/o line up with the pole and include them in the dance. For added intrigue, begin stripping your s/o during the dance and allow the evening to progress as nature intended.

Tips:

• If the pole is installed in a common area, remember to remove it once the show is over.
• Be careful, it you do not have ample upper body strength, please refrain from attempting to slide down the pole upside down.
