We all enjoy the wonderful benefits pole dancing brings to our lives thanks to the strippers who have made this possible! Pole as we know it found its way into studios and gyms from the clubs and is now a passion for millions of people world-wide. With the advent of many different sporty styles of pole and its way into the fitnessy sphere, it is even more important than ever to spread awareness of the origins of pole dance, and uplifting the sex worker community that gave us this wonderful gift.

While there is a lot of talk online about advocacy and allyship, a lot of recreational polers simply do not know how to do the allyship and advocacy. So join me in this illuminating conversation with Karamel Aura as she uncovers her experience of the UK pole industry as an instructor and a stripper, what it means to be an ally in practical terms, how to take part in conversations and ask questions, where to access resources and information, and that the first step is always to challenge your own internal narrative.
