Veena Pole Dance - White Christmas
I was missing my Minnesota snow (not the cold) and hadn't tried dancing straight though a song sooty... I gave it a try. Still getting use to the new room. I really need a bit more space to feel comfortable with some of the spins I like to do, and didn't get all the angles I would have liked to get for the camera but I think it went ok.I'm still working on my strength and flexibility...I can aaalllmmost do the splits again so maybe in the next vid I'll give it a try.
I did 5 takes and this is the 3rd.
The song is by Michael Buble.
One more thing thats not my hair its a wig. :-)I'm not a child psychologist, but i do know that children (and teenagers), just like adults, appreciate honesty. At first glance, persuading them that pole dancing/fitness is not sleazy but at the same time telling them not to tell their friends may seem contradictory.Pole practice - Walk on the ceiling, pole splits
If your kids start to feel a bit awkward by this or seem to start doubting again about the "sleaziness" of the hobby, you can then explain to them how this hobby is becoming increasingly popular as a sport, and that you all are "ahead of your time" because one day it will be very common among both women and men, and they will be lucky to have started early and have a head start! Show them YouTube videos of Male Chancellor Acts- i've also seen a good couple's one from a circus called something like "vertical tango".It's also quite possible that one day it will be included the Olympic games!
Overall, i think the major point to get across to them is that although poling is a great sport (no different than horizontal bars gymnastics and such), we shouldn't tell too many people about it YET, because it is too new for them to understand it. Try to make them feel special about being a part of something so new that it's kept secret.
This being said, i just want to make clear that i don't think any form of this sport is sleazy- it's an art form no matter what one does with it. And i don't think it's shameful to tell people about it, or for children to tell their friends about it.
My 11 year old twin boys LOVE to climb on the pole and want me to teach them some moves. Two questions. Any suggestions for moves to teach them? How to I tell them not to tell their friends about our hobby, especially after I went to great lengths to teach my boys that it's not sleazy? (the 15 year old still isn't sure, probably because he's aware of the profession). Any thoughts welcome!
What kind of exercises do you guys suggest to prepare someone for pole dancing?
