I won a free copy of this book from Goodreads First REads.
This book suffers from three major things: lack of editor, bad illustrations, and length. The lack of editor is obvious with repeated words, run on sentences and nonsensical word choice. Given this is attempting to teach specific motions clarity is key. The bad illustrations are sometimes not what is described in the text like foot placement and other times just a static image meant to help a complicated motion. THey are just not up to the task. The length is 59 pages an extended essay not a book and it lacks focus and is more a hodge podge of moves rather than a unified whole.

Beginner Pole Dancing: For Fitness and Fun
I liked reading this book, but wish it had pictures showing how to do the moves instead of one single diagram for each move. Reading how to do the moves without visual pictures on how to do the moves makes it hard to imagine how the moves are supposed to be done for true beginners. I won this book through a giveaway on Goodreads website.

Meh
2.5 stars. It’s hard to learn pole from a book. Pictures of the completed move was helpful but could use more. I know many of the moves by other names and reading the descriptions I had no clue what the author was trying to describe and then I saw the drawing of the move and was like ...ohhh... It’s confusing.

Blog post - not a book
I read this based solely on the title. While the content is at times entertaining, an editor, or at least spell check, would have helped with the punctuation, capitalization, and grammar errors that made this book feel like an amateur blog post.

Interesting and good concept. The instructions on the moves could use some clarification. The illustrations are weak. There should be more pictures showing after step 1 to go with the clear instructions.

umm.....just no. I don't think there's anything in this book that works. It's a train wreck in motion.

I used to climb the ropes in gym class and found I could easily climb two at the same time. Exercises that used that strength were silks and climbing. I found out a lot of useful information in this book and I had no idea that some poles could spin. The exercises and techniques in this book will give me an expert eye the next time I go into a club to watch a dancer and I can't resist trying some of this myself. This is a great read.

While there were some grammatical errors, this was a pretty decent guide. I would have liked to have had more pictures that showed the fluidity of movement, but each position had a quick drawing to illustrate the basic idea. I liked learning the different terms as well as what all I would need to get started. The author warns that dancers should be prepared to be bruised and a bit banged up, so that was a nice tidbit to keep in the back of my mind.

1. Poorly written, confusing instructions;
2. Absolutely no mention of different pole grips (literally the first thing you learn in pole class);
3. Illustrations that don't correspond with the moves;
4. Dismissive (almost ashamed) of pole dancing's roots;
5. A big formatting error in one section.
If you're an absolute beginner in pole dancing, don't read this book as it will only confuse you. Listen to your instructors and watch video tutorials instead. If you're a little more seasoned, you can pick up some useful details and pointers, but you need to actually have done some dancing to find them in this book.
Overall, do not recommend.
