Pole dance - Hard
"Hard" in pole dancing refers to advanced skill levels (often Level 4/5+) involving complex tricks, strength holds (like Ayesha, Brass Monkey), specific flexibility (Rainbow Marchenko), and dynamic, powerful movements (drops, leaps) requiring immense core, grip, and technique, differentiating from beginner fluidity to elite, athletic expression, with categories like Hardstyle focusing on raw power, while Exotic focuses on heels/flow, but all demanding discipline.
