I have tried pole dancing. It is extremely hard work. I kid you not.

You need extremely great upper body strength to climb up the pole, strong thigh muscles to do a back flip on the pole by clipping yoursef using your thighs, and flexibility to arch your body.

I cannot even mention the number of bruises I ended up with throwing myself round the pole trying to master a move. Pole dancing hurts. Bruises happen all the time even to the most seasoned pole dancer.

I will never be a pole dancer but I know how to walk round and round a pole with grace and poise. I won't make it even the qualifiers for the Olympics for sure.

and I can't make it back as an animate object, then I want to come back as the pole used for pole dancing.

(Girl's bicycle seat would be my second choice.)
