One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s. Dancing with, on or around a pole has been part of many cultures. It actually began hundreds of years earlier, and has roots in 12th century Chinese acrobatics. Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs.

One of the most challenging tricks she has learned is called the “Hey Girl.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To start, MaKayla climbs the pole. She then sandwiches the pole into her bicep and squeezes as hard as she can. “I usually get a big bruise after this one,” she says. Then using her arm and abdominal muscles, Keating swings her hips around the pole and spreads her legs open into a straddle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurts so bad,” she says, “but it looks really cool so it’s worth it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keating is using her skin as a kind of friction brake on the pole. It’s why pole dancers always wear a minimal amount of clothing. It’s not just about sexuality. It’s about technique and safety. A pole dancer’s body is in a constant battle with gravity. You want to climb up. Gravity pushes you down. You want to flip yourself upside-down? Gravity wants to keep you right-side-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11660633\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11660633\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/ROUTINE_RS30340_000-pole_firstedit-47-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">MaKayla Keating (R) and her dance partner practice their routine at San Francisco Pole and Dance. \u003ccite>(Samantha Shanahan/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But when Keating calls her family back in Indiana, she doesn’t talk about pole dancing. “If you were in my shoes, would you tell your mother?” she asks. “If I were just to say, ‘Oh, I’m pole dancing,’ she’s thinking stripper in the club, booty twerking, dollar bills being thrown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pole dancing didn’t become synonymous with sensuality until the 1920s.

Poles were covered with rubber instead of metal and performers would do tricks fully clothed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, pole dancing is just one more growing fitness trend — like yoga or pilates — with over 70 studios in California alone. And yes, you can take a “sensual” or “exotic” pole dancing class in a studio. Or you can dance to Broadway show tunes and Disney songs.
