At Studio 409 in Montreal, we work a few graceful or sensual move but not sexual. There is a difference between the two. Here is my video; you already know me …;)

I also have no desire to see pole in the Olympics… I also don’t enjoy watching pole videos half as much as I did even a year ago because it seems as though pole has turned strictly into gymnastics. I love tricks and thats obviously a big part of pole but pole has turned into just that…. Pole. It seems to me that pole dance dropped the dance somewhere lately. Videos of competitions and showcases just dont have the emotion they once did…. More of a gymnastics recital. For me it’s not so much about the sexy but the dancing. Not back hand springs or a couple splits but emotional dancing. But to each their own, if this is where pole is headed good for the people who enjoy pole and im happy for them I just prefer pole DANCING and love that the bringing sexy back week was recognized.

Yes ABN I miss the dancing and emotional aspect of it too. I also did notice the same thing about enjoying older videos more than newer ones because the pole work lately just looks so stiff and mechanical to me. As far as the olympics, I'm not for or against it but I personally find pole without dance boring.

I uploaded mine last night. Id put my link out there but YT is banned at work (fun ruiners!). If you go to my main page http://www.youtube.com/minicoopergrl it should be the first video that pops up.
the idea came to me while I was driving home Thursday. It looked good when I editited it but its hard the be the performer and run video at the same time.

I just posted mine to YT and a few pertinent FB pages. Its also on my profile page now 🙂 I had a lot of fun sexy freedancing!
-
All the videos posted here were great!!! Well done y'all and thanks for sharing! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I posted 2 videos. If the links don't work, they're also on my facebook and here on my SV page. Not what you usually see me do. I save my sexiness for showcases and cabaret performances, like this show. This style of performance is a nice break from competition routines. Gonna go watch some of the other videos now.

I had so much fun watching these links!!! thank you for posting! It was a great week and I felt great participating, I was so stressed out and after I did it I felt so much better, just knowing that I did something that I enjoyed and nobody would judge in a moral nor in a profesional way. No need to hold back or impress anyone. No shyness and no advanced tricks. Just dancing.
I fell in love with pole dancing because it is expressive and sexy. I think most of the tricks are naturaly sexy so I don't understand why somebody would not want to focus on that. I don't fully enjoy pole dancing in a completely acrobatic style, or in a ballet style…I just don't get it. I think you cannot take the sensual part out of dancing tango, you cannot take the sensual part out of bellydancing…and with pole dancing I think it's the same. It's the way the dance was born and I feel it should stay that way no matter how many other elements you can include. Fusions are great and dangerous combos are great too, but I don't think you can take sexy out of pole dancing. It is difficult to pole dance in an emotional and expressive way without sexy, even if it is romantic, nostalgic or whatever, it is always a bit sexy unless you don't express anything at all. And if it doesn't express anything….it is not dancing to me.
I'm glad pole dancing will be in the olympics but I'm sad that it will be shown to the world as a boring sport. I'm sure other disciplines that also are in the olympics are sexy too, right? like ice skating??rythmic gymnastics?? they were sparkly outfits and move pretty sexy to me, at least in artistic and enjoyable performances. It shouldn't be a problem with pole dancing.
Plus….it is ok to pole dance without heels, but to me…heels are a part of it, I hope they accept that in the olympics though I don't think so…but I would like to ask people if they imagine bellydancers without their sexy outfits or tango dancers without heels…I don't think so either… then they should accept the way pole dancing really is.

I agree completely!

Can't say I think Pole should be in the Olympics. As tough as it is it, it isn't anywhere near as tough as Olympic level gymnastics!
-
@ Schttoffen – Ok, your post made me really mad, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and let you explain yourself. Tell me why the entire discipline of pole and all of its possibilities- which can include things as difficult as doing a back flip from one pole onto another- is "not as hard as Olympic level gymnastics."
-
Ocuspocus, I totally agree with you (ESPECIALLY about the shoes) and I posted my own "Sexy Back" video. You may go to my profile here to find it. Can we not use this thread to argue about pole in the Olympics? There are other discussions on this site that cover the topic pretty thoroughly! Thanks.

@ Layla – I understand the frustration when threads get off onto another topic, but it may be difficult to seperate the question of what it means to "bring sexy back" to pole dancing, from the question of whether/how pole dancing should be in the Olympics, because a lot of that debate has to do with how pole is presented and how/to what degree it is "sexy."
Frankly, I found the whole "bringing sexy back" week to be odd. Sexy left pole at some point? I think what is implied is a very specific notion of what constitutes sexy, and it is over this notion that the argument about the Olympics is being fought, hence it's awfully difficult to keep the conversation from veering in that direction.
Perhaps a conversation that might be less prone to going in that direction would be a conversation about what it means to pole dance in a "sexy" way to begin with.
