Historically, the art of pole dancing began in the 1920`s in America. Dancing companies would travel around the country and perform in tents. The poles that were holding the tents up began to be used as a prop by the dancers to enhance their routines. The pole dance then evolved from the tents to burlesque and bar environments during the 1950`s and took on a more erotic form of entertainment. Using a pole to perform any routine involves a blend of gymnastics and dancing therefore pole dancing is regarded as a performing art. In the Chinese culture for example, the pole is used within the cabaret and circus environment for artistic and acrobatic stage performances.
