Aerial pole, also known as flying pole, is a form of performing arts that combines elements of pole dance and aerial acrobatics. The aerial pole is a vertical, steel apparatus that is suspended in the air. Aerialists can execute a wide range of movements on aerial pole, including spins, inversions, and holds. Some poles feature a hand loop to aid the performer. Tricks that can be performed include Back Hook Spin, Ayesha, Shoulder Mount, Remi Layback, and many more.[1]

History[edit]
Traditional pole dancing has its roots in various cultures dating back to the 12th century, including Indian Mallakhamb and Chinese pole. Aerial pole emerged as performers sought to push the boundaries of traditional pole dancing by incorporating elements of aerial acrobatics.[2]
Popularity[edit]
Aerial pole has gained popularity in recent years as a performance art, fitness activity, and competitive sport. Many fitness studios and circus schools offer classes specifically focused on aerial pole, attracting individuals interested in its unique blend of strength, grace, and acrobatics.
