If you still only associate pole dancing with strip clubs, then you must have slept through the past few years, because this artistic, trendy sport has long been on the rise. At Soul Flight Studio, the pole dancing options are as diverse as the sport itself, from short dance classes to full-body aerial workouts (with trials to sample them all). Whether you pack high heels in your gym bag or not, put yourself in studio owner Lily’s hands and learn to fly! And yes, all genders, bodies, and levels are welcome here. If you aren’t quite ready to dive in yourself, then visit Exotic Generation Germany, a competition of the world’s best pole dancers and a platform to celebrate this athletic, stylish sport.
