How do I tell my parents I want to start pole dancing?

I'm not talking about being a stripper, I'm talking like an actual pole dancer. I think the art of it is so beautiful, and I just really want to express myself in a way that I think is beautiful. How do I tell my parents (Mormon may I add) that want to do that?

Most people don’t know what real pole dancing is and think it is only in strip clubs. I know what you are talking about and it is far from being sexual. Just like most people think Mormon’s don’t dance and we all know that isn’t true either. I suggest you share a video of competition pole dancers and see what your parents think about it. Based on how they react you can take it from there. Good luck.

Start with asking for gymnastics and dance classes.

You shouldn't tell them that, they will get very upset. I hate lying but I would keep that on the downlow because there are very few parents that are going to be ok with something like that
