With no auditions, no experience necessary and no strict commitment, Pole Posse is not like other dance groups on campus. Whether a beginner or a pro, all aspiring pole performers are welcome. “If you could do a pole walk, you could perform. Pole walk is [when] you stand and you walk around the pole,” said Jacqueline Bass ’27, the vice president of Pole Posse. “People with less knowledge immediately associate [pole dancing] with sex work and stripping, which is understandable because its roots are in stripping and sex work,” Bass said.
