It is a community based resource, and so, so is the show. So, essentially the PolePedia show is just to kind of branch off of what our PolePedia website does. So, why are we doing this show? What is the show even about? Why are we here? This is the very first PolePedia show! Wooo! So, I am Kim Kida, and I’m here today with Destynnie, my esteemed co-host. If you want to check out more pole dance clips on YouTube, just search for Pole Dance and names like Jenyne Butterfly, Felix Cane, Susie Q and Tracey Simmonds.Kim Kida: Hello everyone. Oona's routine is excellent and she also does some amazing strength and balance moves. Most competitions allow any costumes and the girls choose outfits to suit their theme and music - there's usually lots of sparkle and big heels. All the girls wore the same outfits (black hot pants and crop tops) and no 'ho heels. The dancer is Oona and the competition was 'Battle of the Pole 2010' - she won. The first part of her dance is very sexy the second part is more strength moves and proper 'pole dance'.
This clip below is from 'Pole Show' in LA. unbelievable, but also motivating to see the technical moves that can be done if you have the strength and flexibility. While I can do a good number of fancy-pants tricks, I have neither her flexibility nor strength so some moves I just cannot get.
She makes lifting and moving your own body weight look so easy but it really is not. She lives in Las Vegas and is also an aerial silk performer and instructor - now that's something I'd like to try! Jenyne is known for routines that incorporate a lot of strength moves and holds. One of the night's highlights was a pole demo by Jenyne Butterfly, the first World Pole Dance winner and multiple Miss Pole Dance US winner. Her 'attachment' to the pole is waist and inside of thigh and under her arm. Tracey Simmonds, former Miss Pole UK, now living in Pretoria. We've got some really talented dancers in SA.
POLE DANCE MOVES NAMES PROFESSIONAL
The professional (many of them pole teachers) and pairs competition started later in the evening. We had two from our studio in the intermediate category - one placed second. The first part of the show was the amateur (less than 6 months of classes) and intermediate entrants. Last night we had the Miss Pole Dance Fitness SA competition at the Lyric Theatre at Golf Reef City. Not wearing little shorts for pole dancing is like going to a tennis match without a tennis racquet and you'll land on your pip too!
POLE DANCE MOVES NAMES SKIN
Ja, 'ho heels are popular because of pole's roots and the skimpy outfits are part and parcel - skin sticks to the pole, fabric doesn't (unless its PVC/latex). Pole dance isn't just about 'ho heels and skimpy outfits. And, incase you're wondering, men can also pole dance (there's a mens category at some events) - it's usually a display of strength with tricks like those horizontal flag moves. Most countries have a national pole dance competition and there are also bigger competitions like European Champs and World Pole Dance Competition. And it's a very popular sport - thousands of women attend pole classes in South Africa and dozens of countries around the world. Sure, pole dancing can be super sexy, but it is also a gymnastic discipline of strength and grace. There's a big different between gyrating around a pole and the sport of pole dance. But, the sport is quite different to this stereotype. When I say 'pole dancing', people immediately think strippers, bump & grind and sleazy clubs.
I teach an advanced pole class on Wednesday evenings. I caught on quickly (it helps going into pole fit and strong already) and in January 2009 I started teaching. It's a fantastic upper body conditioning workout that made me feel great. I attended my first class a week after Swazi Xtreme in May 2008. I woke up with stiff shoulders and arms the next morning and decided to sign up. Hahaha - you can stop with the jokes now (I'll do parties if you have enough R200 notes to tuck in my hot pants). In addition to orienteering, ultra trail running and AR (and related disciplines - mtb, paddle trekking etc), I also do pole dancing.
