Pole Dance Academy

The idea to dance around a pole originated in the days when the earth was flat and young ladies were told to hold onto poles so that they would not fall of the edge of the earth into an abyss of darkness. To pass the time, they learnt how to adapt their limbs to seductively embrace the pole, eventually passing on their knowledge to firemen who had to act swiftly by sliding down the pole in an alluring manner.
