The world of pole dancing is a messy one! Between inconsistent move naming, not-so-beginner "beginner" social media combos, and endless trick variations, it's almost guaranteed to feel lost at some point in your pole journey.

When I first started pole in 2014, I spent more time researching pole than actually dancing. So as a diehard Spreadsheet Girlie (and database architect by trade), I did the only thing that made sense: I started a spreadsheet.

Starting in 2017, I documented every move I encountered along with their alternate names, contact points, and entries/exits. About 300 moves into that spreadsheet, I realized that the personal database that I’d created had the potential to make pole a more accessible sport to beginners and to help dancers at all levels discover new moves. The more accessible our sport is, the more vibrant it becomes, so I wanted to turn my personal database into a resource available to everyone.

PoleMovebook was created with a simple belief: The more you know, the more creative you get. Today, it supports over 7,000 dancers every month. But as PoleMovebook's userbase grows, so do the costs of running it. PoleMovebook is a completely free resource with no ads or user cost, but the cost of server transactions scales with increased users. I'm incredibly proud that the site has helped so many dancers unlock new levels of artistry, and want to keep the site independent and free so that it can continue to do so. Support through this page aims to keep the site self-sustaining by allowing users who want to give back to the resource the ability to do so, keeping the site free for everyone.

Every contribution helps PoleMovebook stay independent and 100% free. Your support keeps the code running and the library growing!
