Pole Dance Fitness Competition Coming to Elkridge Saturday

Students and instructors in pole dancing (not to be confused with stripping) will be coming to Elkridge Saturday to compete in a Tri-State Pole Dance Fitness Invitational.

The event is held by Pole Pressure, a business that offers pole dancing classes throughout DC and surrounding areas.

The Tri-State Pole Dance Fitness Invitational will be held from 2 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Howard County Sports Center, 6742 Dorsey Rd, Elkridge. Tickets to attend are $30 at the door, according to the Elkridge Patch events section.

Students start competing at 2 p.m. and instructors start at 6:30 p.m.

Pole dancing fitness classes have gained popularity for both women and men; the first men’s pole dancing competition has recently been scheduled to occur in Australia, according to MSN.com.

A male pole dancing trainer told MSN that pole dancing has a variety of benefits, including increasing cardiovascular and muscular strength.
