However, the art of pole is still often stigmatised by many outside of the community. Additionally, polers are often met with strong opinions from within the community who don’t quite understand the variety and multi-faceted components of what we do

The New Year is the perfect time for us to start fresh and make a promise to ourselves to do better in one area.

Though we may only be halfway through September, I’m already aware of the seasonal changes we are soon to face over the next few months.

There is a lot of time to be spent binge-watching your favourite shows at the moment. I don’t know about you, but I have been curating lists on as many streaming platforms as possible to keep my mind entertained each day.

So, I decided to hunt down as many as I can.
