You'll learn more about this DVD in a bit, but first let's take a look at a few sample pole dancing stretches together, so you can try them out for yourself.

Let's Learn Some Pole Dancing Stretches

1 - Pole Dancer Stretch

This is a modification on the Dancer Pose used in many Yoga classes. In this case, your dance pole provides balance if you need it, allowing you to start off with some support, and then progress in your balance and flexibility as you're ready.

Depending on which muscles are the most tight for you, this stretch may help to open up your chest and hip flexors, and will also give your hamstrings a nice wake up call.

2 - Pole Shoulder Stretch

Targeting a common area of tightness, this stretch is excellent for keeping your chest and shoulders open and loose. You should also feel a nice stretch through your biceps.

Since pole dancing requires a LOT of upper body strength, it's important to keep these hardworking muscles happy with proper stretching.

3 - Pole V Stretch

This stretch is excellent for improving flexibility in the hips, lower back, inner thighs and hamstrings. Your dance pole is very effective for helping you maintain proper form to get the most out of this stretch.

If being able to do the splits is one of your goals, this will be a go-to stretch for you.
