What is pole dance?
Pole dance is a performance art where acrobatics meets dance and strength meets grace. At Blush, with or without a sporty past, you grow stronger at your own pace and find your own line.

Its roots go back to mallakhamb, a traditional Indian sport performed on a thick wooden pole.
