Martini

What is the Martini Sit in Pole Dancing?

The Martini Sit is a playful and dynamic pole move where you sit gracefully on the pole with one leg extended out in a long, confident line. This sit variation is fun, flirty, and visually striking, mimicking the relaxed elegance of sipping a martini! It’s a hold that emphasizes balance and poise while creating sharp yet fluid body shapes. Whether part of a routine or a photo-worthy pose, the Martini Sit is a fabulous go-to for dancers wanting to showcase their personality and sense of fun on the pole.

Why the Martini Sit Feels So Empowering

The Martini Sit is all about celebrating your personal style on the pole. It’s not just a hold; it’s a moment to pause and own your space with confidence. There’s something so empowering about extending your leg and realizing how far you’ve come in being able to control your body effortlessly. For many pole dancers, this move is a reminder of their ability to blend strength and beauty, and it’s the perfect opportunity to play with expressions of elegance or sass. No matter your dance vibe, it captures a sense of personal freedom and pride.
