The Pole Grip Empowering Women Across Lebanon

What started out as a popular trend in Lebanon a few years ago has now become a discipline that empowers, spreads body positivity, and improves the overall well-being of its practitioners. Pole dancing has become a popular sport and art form, drawing in people from varying flexibility levels all of whom have one thing in common: wanting to express themselves while having a good time.

Joining our host Lynn on this episode is Laura Ayoub, known as Lolypole, founder of the Lebanese Pole Fit Academy. Through their conversation, you will learn how Laura got introduced to pole dancing at a friend’s bachelorette, her general class and safety rules, the different styles of pole dancing, as well as its appeal to male students.
