A global community is building up a strong campaign to have pole dancing made an Olympic sport.
The owner of a pole dancing company in Canada is among the leaders trying to get the activity that most people associate with strip clubs, entry into the Olympic games.
Citing the skill and athleticism the sport requires, the owner says they hope to bring it into the mainstream.
Pole dancing is gaining popularity across Europe. The Miss Pole Dance World Finals are held March 15 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Clothes for participants are required.
