The star of any erotic dance venue is always on center stage - the eye-catching feature pole. The alluring combination of gleaming metal, limber bodies and thumping dance beats inevitably makes spectators sit up and pay attention to the main attraction, and now more women than ever have turned to dance pole kits to rock out in the privacy of their bedrooms. These clever products allow even the most demure of ladies to showcase their secret wild side, with collapsible dance poles that can be set up to stand alone for some show-stopping poses and prancing. Other more substantial models temporarily anchor between the floor and ceiling for advanced maneuvers that leave watching partners anxious for more, and may include fun extras like boas, "play" money for encouragement, and even CDs of the perfect songs to pole dance to.

This pole dancing craze kicked into high gear only recently, but already dance pole kits, lessons, instructional DVDs and even blogs are everywhere. Starting with a few celebrity print endorsements as to the virtues of seductively spinning around the pole entered the public consciousness. Boost your self confidence, embrace your inner sex god or goddess, burn some calories and do it all while teasing your lover to distraction. The allure of pole dancing can pull in anyone and the instant results has kept people coming back for more.

For those that are eager to learn but lack the basic mechanics and moves of pole dancing, look no further than the DVDs that are included in many dance pole kits. Narrated by professional pole dancers and enthusiasts, these DVDs walk - or dance - kit owners through fundamentals as well as some extra-special moves that will really turn heads. A great alternative to those that may be too shy to attend a pole dance class in front of other people, or who may not have facilities nearby, these kits can be easily ordered online and shipped anywhere in the country discretely. Ideal for trying on the "role" of an exotic dancer for a few hours, these poles easily slip into a closet or under the bed when not in use - a handy feature that permanently mounted poles can't match. For particularly fun aerobics or surprising a lover on a birthday, anniversary or any other special occasion, exploring entertainment in the home with the help of a pole dance kit is a hard activity to beat.
