Traditionally pole dance has been associated with darkness in pubs, illegal practices of sexual exchanges or other non sportive activities. However, that point of view has tremendously changed the past few years, when pole dance has started to be considered as an aerial sport, such as a lush dancing expression of the body. It has started to be practiced by all kind of persons and with different complexions, giving pleasant execution surprises in some cases. It takes a considerable amount of cardiovascular exercise and breathing control. In a constant schedule it can improve flexibility and strength of disciplined dancers. It also contributes to the self-esteem and self-confidence. Many different practices are taught in Pole dance studies, such as exotic, spinning, advanced, intermediary or basic levels and nice choreographies for a flowing and professional performances. Some risks of injuries might happen and some ways to prevent them are discussed in this brief review. Many new medical papers have been recently published about this topic during these last few years because its interest has considerably increased all around the world. However this information is given without liability for possible disadvantages or damaging during practices. Each dancer is responsible for avoiding his/her own risks. With this brief approach we would aim to change the perspective of this sport to be considered as a salubrious way to increase health as well as to change ideas of negative and non sportive considerations toward it.
