Accepting modern trends has become commonplace in the country of Saudi Arabia, where, earlier, women were kept under limitations. Women there, are now being appreciated in the field of sports, and women who have got rid of the hijab and go to work, have jumped on the bandwagon of sporting boy cuts. In the chain of modern changes, a new trend has emerged in the country. After yoga, the craze of pole dance is at an all-time high.

Not only young women want to learn pole-dancing, but want to get the reactions of people by uploading photos and videos on social media. The women are of the opinion that people will love pole dance and give positive feedback. While the orthodox sections of the society have opposed this trend, as usually, pole dance has always been associated with strip clubs and presented that way. On the other hand, the supporters of it say that as there is a ban on alcohol in Saudi Arabia and there are no strip clubs as well, the negative image of pole dance has reached the country from foreign.
