Pole Dancing Fellowship in Asia

The growth of pole dancing in Asia has been phenomenal to say the least. It has exploded into even what used to be deemed as countries with conservative cultures. Pole dancing studios are sprouting up everywhere and many exercise studios are scrambling to include it as part of their service offerings as well.

And of course, little Singapore has also brought it out of the shady nightclubs into the National Day Parade. This is a happy development for all polers in Asia. Together with the power of technology, many have found beautiful friendships and bonded over the lamentations of bruises and stereotypical mindsets they have to fend off especially with Asian culture as it is.

We have also seen Pole Dancing Congress and high quality pole competitions taking place all over in Asia like never before. In fact, it has even seeped its way into the cultural scenes in Singapore with its recent appearance in geitai (shows put up by the Chinese during Hungry Ghost Festival to entertain and appease the spirits that roam the earth during this period) performances. Unbelievable but true.

I of course, had the privilege too to make friends with some of my Asian counterparts. Studio owners and pole students alike. One of them would be Viva Vertical in Malaysia. Brave girls who started their studio in a conservative Muslim country. We need more courageous women like that to make a stand.

If you are involved in the pole community in one way or another and we are not yet acquainted, please come and say hi to me!

All the best my Asian pole mates, the only way is up from here. Literally! LOL

Pole Bend

“Bend it like Bubka.”

=======

Having a bad day?

Melt into that oh so delicious pole bend if I were you!

I just love working out on the pole. It just erodes the bad day out of my system.

All you need is to grab that pole, close your eyes and simply relish the slow descend to Mother Earth.

Feel that workout on your legs, your arms and your back and that trusting feeling as the pole guides you down to the ground.

Allowing the back to land one vertebrate at a time as you silently thank god for that beautiful pole you are clasping in your hand.

And as your legs take its time to join the rest of your body in one straight plane, exhale the last remnants of the bad day out of your system.

Get up knowing that you are getting up to a brand new rest of the day and nothing and nobody gonna get you again.

Go kick some ass woman!

I am thrilled, together with the rest of the polers all over the world that pole dancing has finally made its much-due appearance in a highly significant setting. You would have to agree with me that a nation’s national day parade has to be one of the best place possible for pole dancing to receive its proper recognition.

And aren’t I so proud that my nation, this little island that is just a modest dot on the world map have stepped it up and decided to celebrate pole dancing for its goodness. And kudos to Acro Polates for all their hard work to make this possible.

This truly, is a great highlight and most definite acknowledgement to polers all over the world. Yes, you are being recognised, yes, you are being heard. Let us all keep up the good work and strive towards great fitness, feel good endorphins and more celebration on womanhood on our favourite pole!

Thank you Singapore, you had made this the best national day parade ever for me and many others!

If all the pole dancing you have ever been associated with are doughy images you have seen on movies and scantily clad singers in their music videos, you will probably be part of the “what the hell, we just cleaned it up!” team at King Cross. Our most profound respect if the above mentioned is true but you still find pole dancing a cool and admirable activity. Pole dancing have been penetrating country after country faster than you can say ‘Oh wow’ during the last few years.

Countless women are embracing it and even more are getting better at their pole moves/tricks with their OWN poles even as I speak. And yet, we are still confronted by individuals and groups belonging to the dinosaur age, refusing to embrace what have been a healthy does of self esteem to women all over the world, insisting that it is just sleaze, only sleaze and nothing else.

This is a terrible shame. It is just like people who insists that yoga are for weirdos and only for people who have nothing better to do than to bend themselves into odd shapes and positions. Never mind that history has proven its enormous benefits.

They shut their eyes, cover their ears, shake their heads, run away shrieking that it is bad, bad and bad.

Nothing else matters.

*plenty of eye rolling*

Oh well, suit yourself. I think it’s hard to climb or swing the pole anyway if you are a dinosaur.

Pole Burn - Marks of a Champion

Sometimes I get remarks like,” OMG, my friend went to learn pole dancing and came back with all these awful bruises on her leg. It’s horrible!”

My response? “Your friend bears the marks of a champion.”

Try that! LOL!

When I first started on pole dancing I had the same reaction when I saw the results of my battle with the pole. I hated it. It was such a dismal sight. It was unsightly and unbecoming of a woman! It was only much later that it dawned on me that I was being very silly.

I was ashamed of the visible marks that display the positive qualities I have as a person. My dedication, my discipline, my patience and my kick-ass attitude. Woohoo!!!

Since then, I have learnt to celebrate my battle wounds. Of course, I don’t mean that you start whacking the pole senseless and to ignore the feedback from your body. Your body is a temple of God. Love it and it will reward you and aid in the achievement of your goals.

So there, take good care of those wounds.

Be proud of them and keep on pole-ing on!

The freedom to dance

Poetic words I have received from a special friend and I would like to share it here:)  -

There was a dancer named Joy

Whose form enraptured many a Boy

She slid up and down a long Pole

And lured many a man from his Goal

Her predecessor might have caused the fall of Troy

**********

What can I say?

The power is within you ladies.

Allow its manifestations TODAY!

Joy, SensUal Joy

There is always something new to learn at every turn and I really look forward to my classes each time. Of course, I also can’t complain that it’s such a fantastic way to keep fit!”

In case you are scratching your head in bewilderment how this post gets to be on a pole dancing blog, mystery easily solved with a quick peek at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1959505/

I had the luxury of watching this movie last evening as a reward for finishing my studies for the day. The verdict: this movie is a disappointment to me. However, Ellen Page is a commendable actress. The story line is thinner than paper thin.

Love Program

The amusing part was that Juno MacGuff was highly articulate for a 16 years old holding very pragmatic views for her most unfortunate and unexpected situation, being impregnated by her best friend, Paulie Bleeker. Most girls at that age would have understandably freaked out.

She was in total control of the situation. After a failed attempt at abortion, she got occupied in her attempt to find a suitable couple to adopt her still unborn child. The nice twist was when she and the child’s father-to-be got on quickly like a house on fire.

Love Program

Don’t expect any pole dancing and you can terminate any hopes of dance or artistic scenes immediately. This is a sadly way too typical “teenager got pregnant, shit now what” kinda show.

The only reasons I would agree to sit myself down for this show was

1- The writer was and might in the near future continue to be a pole dancer. This by itself was a huge acknowledgment that pole dancers are NOT bimbos. Not all anyway.

Love Program

2- Being a literary student, I am caught up with the name “Juno” who, in the Greek mythology, is the wife of the chief god, Jupiter.

My consolation is, the song that the show ended with was a wonderful song that I fell in love with very quickly.

So there you have it, Juno the very unsexy movie written by a most unlikely stripper.

Apparently, Madonna included pole dancing for her latest Sticky and Sweet world tour. Sadly I was unable to find any footage of it on Youtube. I wish I can see that. After all, pole dancing has become permanent residence in many parts of the world. How could the Queen of Controversy not include it in her act?

Love Program

This hugely successful artist can’t possibly be in her 50s! She is solid fit and is as dedicated to her work as ever. She is a classic example of “Embracing My Sexuality.” Yes, she might not be everyone’s shot of samuca but hey! you’ve got to admit she gets you to sit up and pay attention anyway.

Love Program

Thank you Madonna for the amazing entertainment you have given to us through the years. You are one hell of a show stopper!

As Madonna famously sang,” Express yourself, don’t repress yourself.”

Ladies, go for it!

As we can all see, pole dancing studios are sprouting all over China like nobody’s business. Not an easy business to run mind you. I know. But nevertheless a heartening development to me. Not that I’m surprised though. Many has underestimate the power of pole dancing and the allure of pole dancing studios.

Love Program

Pole students take away with them something extremely empowering and sexy. To say that it is mainly a activity to improve physical health would be an insult. And I am sure many pole dancing enthusiasts will agree. Whatever the case is, it will be interesting to see where pole dancing will take us and make a difference to society.

Love Program

Now that it has decided to take the world by sexy storm.

Kudos to all courageous pole dancers all over the world.

Way to go.
