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

Pole Bend

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! 🙂

Miss Pole Dance UK, A Misunderstood Affair

http://www.thelondonpaper.com/cs/Satellite/london/news/article/1157160225567?packedargs=suffix=ArticleController

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.

Dynamics of Pole Dancing

Love Program

Pole dancing has been a wonderous gift to me. A beautiful art that I have deep respect for. Although this sentiment will not be too popular with many people, it has been a most satisfying journey for me.

Loosely I would categorise the dynamics of pole dancing into three components.

Love Program

1- Pole Styling

It is a term that I coined for my students to understand the various aspect of pole dancing. It means moving around a pole, dancing with a pole without having to perform strenuous tricks or even be off ground and still be graceful and sexy around a pole.

Love Program

2- Pole Tricks (Stunts)

It is the fanciful stuff that you do to a pole. Thats where the fun begins where some dancers. And thats where the terror starts for others. Pole tricks refers to swings, slides, climbs and inverts. Some of the more advanced tricks are practically gymnastics in nature and demand very strong limbs and abdominal muscles to be executed well.

Love Program

3. Pole Safety

A often neglected component of pole dancing will be pole safety. In our anxiety to learn the advanced tricks, we tend to overlook the safety factor. However, falling off a pole especially when you are practising alone can have serious consequences.

Love Program

In view of its importance, here are some simple pointers:

• Ensure that the pole is secure and safe.
• Always keep the pole clean and dry.
• Your palms must be dry when pole dancing.
• Clean the pole often if you have sweaty palms.
• Work on building your arms muscles, legs muscles and abdominal muscles.
• Have a relationship with the pole. Learn how to grip the pole using your arms and legs.
• Get off the pole when in doubt or when you are rapidly losing strength.
