I was fortunate enough to be able to come to Singapore on my way home to Australia from a long international adventure. After almost 9 moths of experiencing different cultures, doing shows and of course, teaching pole dance, Singapore was a great stop over to re adjust to the time differences and squeeze in one more stop.

I am so glad the timing turned out well, as I had a fabulous time! My trip was short (about 4 days) but oh so sweet. I met some lovely ladies that had so much passion for their art, and truly enjoyed what they were doing.
I found that by travelling to each country, I experienced such a huge culture difference, which in turn affected the pole industry so much. Singapore was no exception.

Just as I thought, it was much about glitz and glamour. The studios I visited had such a fun, girly environment; Glitter, girly colours, the newest music and sparkly outfits. Of course the elements of fitness and sport were there, but it was more a secondary result of the fun classes that were being taught.

The ladies were taught to walk tall, feel good about themselves and how to present themselves well through movement. Given such supportive, non-pretentious environment, it was easy to see that the women flourished and really enjoyed themselves at their classes.

As I taught some workshops, I found the ladies were keen to learn new moves, correct old habits and acquire some inspiration, however I also found that they had knowledge and support to share themselves. There was not one moment where a student needed some guidance that another class member didn’t rush to their side to help however they could. The ladies encouraged each other, supported each other and really gave each person the respect and attention they deserved. It was so wonderful to see that there was no competitive edge to these motives, which I have found to become an increasingly rare occurrence. Also I found the ladies in Singapore to be some of the most polite and respectful students I have ever taught, which shows me not just a glimpse into the culture, but also the respect they have for one another and the industry.

It was so uplifting to visit the pole dancers of Singapore. I do hope that their pole community stays strong and true to their intent, as it will only strengthen their presence in the world of pole and encourage more women to take up such a wonderful art form.

So to the pole dancers of Singapore:
Thank you for having me teach and perform for you, I enjoyed my time with you all so much and I hope to come back and visit again soon.
Stay true to what you believe in, work hard and you will keep showing the rest of the world what bright, loving and talented pole dancers you all are.

Thank you,

Love

Amber x

Are the Olympics ready for Pole Dancing?

So you think it is all just aimless provocation and senseless grinding of the pole?

Think again.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35524563/

Miss Mai Sato represents the growing number of polers who are very serious and deadly committed to their sport.

They trained faithfully to develop their acrobatics skills on the pole.

They embrace bruises and pole burns just to master one more trick.

Where were you and what were you doing when they were burning their skin against the pole and pushing their endurance limit to the next level?

All just aimless provocation and senseless grinding?

Think again.

Please endorse pole dancing into the Olympics.

Watch out, men on poles

What’s my take on it?

Hmmm…. Seriously? That’s a toughie to answer. I would like to get all possessive about my pole and insist that this is a strictly women’ arena. This is feminine territory, back off all you testosterone inflated creatures! Unfortunately this is not true and the males will be here to stay.

More and more males are becoming interested and intrigued in the art as much as women. Some of the motivations might be similar but generally I believe male and female pole practitioners view the pole very differently. For men, fitness and the mental and physical challenge pretty much sums up their equation. For women, or at least I would like to imagine the majority of us are also attracted to the sensuality that a woman can bring to the pole on top of the fitness aspect. I for one, am very much drawn to that.

When I perform, I feel very safe with the pole, there is something assuring about gripping the steel hard pole. I feel like I have a companion and I am not afraid. And I feel very sexed up too. The moment I grasp it in my hands, the ripples of sensuality will just seep into my entire body as if a dam have broke and all hell breaks loose. I just want to close my eyes and get in touch with the siren within that threatens to consume my entire being. It is a god-damn sexy feeling!

I am not a hard core gymnastic poler because I am also a strong advocator for the sensuality that a woman can demonstrate with the pole. And that is the way I would like SensUal Joy to remain, faithful in our mantra 70% sensuality and 30% tricks and stunts.

Whatever your motivation for the pole may be, whether it is to demonstrate your impressive pole stunts or to illustrate the siren within you, use it to further your sense of self and use it to brighten the world a little with your happy, satisfied and hopefully sensualicious smile on the pole.

Happy pole-ing

Pole Dancing Fellowship in Asia

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
