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

Learning how to do such sexy dance items must have been quite a bumpy ride for the girls. They do not have much of a dance background, hence it will be a challenge to do exotic dance for a competition especially pole dancing!

Love Program

Well, whatever the case is, the ladies are indeed hard at work to give their best to you on that big day. The first session was a little bewildering because they are still trying to come to terms with performing such items.

Love Program

Subsequent sessions were very fruitful because they have gotten used to the routine and it is a matter of cleaning up their act and eliminating their small distracting mannerisms. I got stricter as time goes by.

Love Program

Once they are on stage, they will be truly on their own. They are better off learning it the hard way now then to freeze on stage or make mistakes and being unable to recover from it. That would be a performer’s worst nightmare. Trust me…

Love Program

Everyone had fun and found out a little more about themselves and their own capabilities through this event. I myself was pleasantly surprised at how fast I came up with the choreography because of the tight timeline. It is good that the production unit is pleased with it because I definitely am!

Love Program

Always such a pleasure to be satisfied with your own work although that is no excuse for not having continuous improvement. Rachelle and Shi Qian deserves your fullest support for their hard work. So make sure you are there for the show and give them your fullest encouragement.

Knock them dead ladies!

My Pole * Myself * My SensUal Joy

SensUal Joy

=======================

MY REWARDS FROM POLE DANCING

When Joy invited me to share my pole dancing class experience, I said YES without hesitation.

It is a great pleasure and an honor to

1. Share all the benefits I’ve gained from pole dancing at SensUal Joy and

2. Encourage any lady who is thinking of taking up pole dancing to STOP over-analyzing and JUST DO IT!

Love Program

Do it out of self-love. It is absolutely 100% worth it. YOU are worth it.

Allow me to elaborate on my enthusiasm for pole dance classes in SensUal Joy.

1. A Sense Of Inner Peace And Happiness

The combination of it all, getting to know myself, being able to do the things I wasn’t able to do before and gaining new knowledge has given me a sense of inner peace. I always feel extremely satisfied and happy with myself at the end of class. It is so Happy, Healthy and SensUal!

Joy says it is all the endorphins circulating in my body after the workout. But who cares why?! I feel HAPPY! JOUFUL! EXUBERANT! Ready to take on the world!

Love Program

2. A Sense of Confidence About My Own Physical And Mental Abilities And How Fabulous I Really Am!

As I do not have a dance background, to be able to execute moves worth of any professional dancers makes me feel REALLY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.

Once I did my first swing walk, I felt transformed to another person. And my confidence has grown steadily lesson after lesson, one successful move after another.

My sense of pride swells each and every time that I manage to climb the pole and slide down. It doesn’t even matter if it was not executed in perfection. Just being able to climb the pole is an achievement in itself!

*beaming with pride*

Love Program

3. I Have Learnt To Trust Myself

This is HUGE for me! To climb the pole and to do my pole swings requires so much courage from my part. There is always a part of me cluttered with fear holding me back. But slowly, little by little, I learnt to trust my body’s instincts. To trust ME to take care of myself and to simply let go.

Love Program

4. I Have Learnt To Let Go

I have learnt that pole dancing is a lot about allowing the body and your own instinct to take over. You are required to visualize the move you want to execute beforehand. Imagination plays a big part. Eventually, it is your body that has to act it out.

So you have to let go of the chatter in your head and just do it. Release and allow your body to take over. The moment that happens, it becomes natural. Everything falls into place and I execute my move. A fantastic surprise. I DID IT!

Love Program

5. I Have Learnt The Beauty And Rewards of Persistence And Knowing It Is OK To Make Mistakes

First, Joy will demonstrate the move I am about to learn together with detailed explanations. Next, she will allow me to make my first feeble attempt. I sometimes end up looking silly. Such as when I couldn’t climb the pole or when some of the swings simply go “wrong.”

Trust me, it looks really awkward. Joy will then give me more coaching and then leave me alone to work at it. That personal time with the pole helps to develop my relationship with the pole.

No matter how much Joy says or show me, I still have to be the one to take action and keep doing it until I get it right. To make mistakes and keep trying. Especially when it is a tricky pole trick that I have to nail down.

WOW, the feeling is AMAZING – “I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT.” It is such an awesome feeling and I would feel on top of the world!

Love Program

6. I Have Discovered It’s More Than OK To Be Comfortable With My Own SensUality And Sexuality.

I Can Be Proud Of It.

I was never taught about sensUality. (Perhaps it is supposed to come naturally?) I used to be really frightened and confused about my sexuality. It started during adolescence when men started to look at me differently – no longer as a little girl, but as a sexual object.

And I had no idea about what to do with the power I had over men. As a result, my sensUality scares me. But learning pole dancing from Joy, receiving her encouragement and most of all, seeing first-hand another woman being comfortable in her own sensUal self has helped me tremendously.

Witnessing somebody else be BOTH sensUal and respectable at the same time proves to me it is possible for me too. It is not dirty to be sensUal. It is OK for me to just be myself.

Love Program

7. I Have Learnt The Importance Of And How To Slow Down

(Calm Down)

There is something so deliciously sensUal about a woman when she just slow down to indulge in and savour every moment of a pole slide. Leaning against the pole while rotating your hips … oooooh HOT!

A lady natural sexy side is on display. Some moves requires you to go a little faster, some moves slower, adding flavor and variety to your routine and making it so much more interesting.

So for someone like me who tends to go turbo speed feels as if I am almost forced to slow down. It becomes a different, surprising, wonderful, soothing and pampering experience

Love Program

8. I Learnt How To Get In Touch With My Body And Own It

Joy introduced to me the concept of free hand play –> touching myself, my hair, my body, all over and loving it.

How do I explain this?

It is a liberating experience for me, touching myself… like giving myself a personal massage. Affirming to my body that it is beautiful, wonderful, fantastic, amazing, attractive and I love and approve of it!

Love Program

9. I Have Found A Scared Space And Sanctuary Where My Inner Goddess Feels Safe To Reveal Herself

Thank to the atmosphere that Joy has painstakingly created in her studio as well as her coaching skills. From the decor of red velvet drapes, soft lighting, crazy horse lights during show-time, to the sensUal music and her warm, gentle but firm and encouraging guidance that has helped me to feel completely relaxed.

Given the right non-judgmental environment, my SensUal Goddess feels at ease to reveal herself. All the little details in the atmosphere has made a great difference in my sensUal journey.

Gratefully, the intimate setting in SensUal Joy always makes me feel extremely pampered and secure. Safe to express and to be myself.

Love Program

10. I Am Proud To Say I Now Have A Stronger, More Fit And Even More Fabulous Body!

I attribute this to the natural strengthening and aerobic/cardiovascular exercise that pole dancing has given me ranging from the pole slides to the pole swings.

Pole dancing may look easy, but it is not for wimps. It takes energy to pull it off and to look great while at it. But it is so much fun at the same time too!

Love Program

To Sum It All Up

Pole dancing at SensUal Joy has been FUN; has brought me more CONFIDENCE, more JOY, more INNER PEACE, more HAPPINESS.

Each time I pole dance, I am reminded of the importance of trusting myself, letting go, being persistent, being comfortable and proud of my own sensUality and sexUality and to slow down.

Even more importantly, through pole dancing, I have realized that I already possess ALL these qualities. I am now better acquainted with my body through feel, touch and instinct. My body is also stronger and looking more fabulous than ever.

Love Program

Conclusion

SensUal Joy has become a SANCTUARY for me, a sacred space where my inner Goddess feels welcome, safe and ready to reveal herself. Whenever I pole dance at SensUal Joy, my inner Goddess comes out to play, have fun, celebrate and enjoy life!

Do yourself a favor and sign yourself up for classes too!

Lots of Love,

Shuling

p/s. I wasn’t paid to say all these things. These are my heartfelt feelings, thoughts and gratitude towards SensUal Joy for bringing me all these wonderful gifts and more into my life. I’m eternally grateful to Joy for accompanying me on my body, heart, mind and soul’s healing journey.

Pole Dancing, even Paris Hilton says yeah!

SensUal Joy

===================

http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celeb_news/Paris_Hilton_shows_off_her_pole_dancing_moves_article_155673.html

I found this article rather amusing. Apparently even our infamous hotel heiress finds it very difficult to keep her hands off the pole. However, for her it is obviously an act of ego. She wanted the attention and the suggestiveness that pole dancing tends to associated with in most people’s minds.

Love Program

She couldn’t have been more accurate in her statement of pole dancing as an excellent form of fitness exercise. I was not there when she did her thing hence I am unable to comment on her inclusion of the “Me touching my breast” in her act.

Love Program

A lot would depends on HOW she went about doing it. In general just reading about it, it seems very uncalled for to me.

Love Program

Oh well, everyone have different motivations when it comes to why they pole dance. I don’t really care. So long as I know why i always swirl around my favourite poles…
