Hi Lauren : )
There is actually a great article about how to strengthen you upper body to prepare for pole dancing here =>
However, since you don’t have a dance pole to do the exercises, the BEST think to do is go to a local playground and look at the jungle gym area for a kids fireman type pole or something that would work like a pole so you can to pull ups there. You can do push ups and pull ups at the gym or on the floor, however, you do use more and different muscles when you are doing it on a pole and nothing gets your upper body prepared quite like the exercises you can do on a pole.
Hope that helps : )
