It's a strange life I lead. I have been invited to visit a new dance studio today. Which is not strange in itself as I am constantly in dance studios. Except that this is a pole dancing studio. Pause as I listen to the sounds of a stampede of men asking to come along ... When I told a few of my males friends, last night, that I would be going to the opening of one, every single one of them rushed to put up their hands, slobbering, "Me! Me! Bring me!" Which is why I am going alone. With my notorious sense of direction I would probably get lost. Which means I will arrive terribly flustered and apologetic. Then the owner would probably ask me to give the pole a try. I would probably try out of curiosity and deadened brain cells from trying to find the studio. And then I would treat the pole like aerial dance. Which means I will forget that I do not have the same expanse of height to drop. Which means you might read here tomorrow that I am in hospital with a concussion. Or worse. Fingers, arms and legs crossed as I try not to kill myself this afternoon. Maybe even the eyes.

*lends WHF a chicken fillet to strap atop head for protection, just in case* I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Just treat the pole as if it were an aerial arrangement in a venue with low ceilings - thus you're working close to the floor. (awkward, yes, but might keep you from thumping the floor) MM: A chicken fillet? You really expect that to last long enough (outside WHF) to help cushion an impact?

in Finland we've got our own version of top-model reality show. I saw it once when they brought the girls to a pole dancing studio. It was fun to see. Some of the girls got pretty upset with the idea and didn't want to try - just think, they are all around 18 years old and so conservative! Anyway, in the end it was clear to me that those are very hard exercises. Sure it will be easy to you, but the girls suffered a lot because they were thin a beautiful but had no good physical condition.

And I have never worn a chicken fillet, thigh, feet or wings before. And the thought of any of those "inside" of me is kinda gross unless they were barbequed, grilled, fried, stewed etc, and eaten first. In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

UGO! GIRL! Blaze up! Show that pole who a dancer is. ~ Brian Er, I have a lot of respect for the proper pole dancers as it takes a lot of technique, skills and body control to do what they do. We spent a bit of time discussing the finer points of pointe while doing an inverted V on the pole. If you have ever tried hanging upside down while hanging onto a pole with just one armpit you will gain a lot of respect for the real pole dancers too. However, I blew her away when I did a side hangman plank. Although it almost crippled me ... In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

Anyway, in the end it was clear to me that those are very hard exercises. Sure it will be easy to you, but the girls suffered a lot because they were thin a beautiful but had no good physical condition. Anyway, I think there are two different schools of thought when it comes to pole dancing, from what I have observed. The ones who use it to titillate and spur sexual desire and will resort to all sorts of soft porn movements; and the ones who use the pole to exhibit their athleticism and technique as well as body control, usually utilising music as an interpretative tool. I admit to having a greater respect for the latter as I know how much control and work it takes to build that kind of control and skill. And hey, it is by no means easy for me! And thin is not necessarily beautiful. I see lots of skinny girls with zero shape, definition or curves. It's not very attractive. I agree that being healthy is much more attractive.

I've seen workout videos in the store that are supposed to be sexy and have a picture of a girl dancing on/with a pole. I just skip over it and get the belly dancing work outs, instead. Mostly because my belly needs the most work, but also because I've never installed a pole, and probably won't. Probably. Also, I want to go to Cairo. They have a museum there that has the most wonderful things. So wonderful, if I think on them too much I get misty eyed with longing. Cheers!

*groans* I should have known you and MM had an inside joke running on the chicken fillet idea.  Of course I meant cooked and eaten.  I must admit: this is the first time I've seen a chicken fillet suggested as padding in a bra (also kinda gross). I can tell the visits between you two must be hilarious.

Actually to do a lot of the pole dance techniques, you need a very strong core and abdominal muscles - especially the hangman and dive positions. I get misty eyed with the pollution in Cairo ...  In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.
