Guys and poledancing?
-
@pankake…zach galafinakis, you’re funny, that made me lol 🙂
-
At first, I thought it was silly — but then I saw Joel Lessing, and came to know David C Owen, and then see the first set of guys who were competing … that cured my silly prejudice!

I'd never really seen guys pole dancing til I saw the Mr Pole Fitness UK contest before Miss Pole Dance UK this year & my jaw was constantly on the floor, their strength and grace was amazing (and their bodies were pretty easy on the eye too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif). Nico Modestine (the winner) was breathtaking, hope I can get to see more male performers soon.
On the boyfriend front, well, mine had a go at a fireman spin but jumped forward into it and nearly whacked his gigglybits on the pole…he's not a convert at all unfortunately!

Jungle cat was amazing thank you for sharing!!. Men bring a whole new concept to poling if you ask me. Although it took a while to get used to the idea, lol Watching men perform has brought my personal idea of poling to new levels. My bf plays on the pole and has watched many men perform with me, he prefers the grace of a woman rather then a powering performance by a man…. I have saved the video of Jungle Cat so that he can see a man with more grace then many women ive seen.

My man can shouldermount just based on pure upper body strength. Don't think I'll ever really get him into the dancing side of it though. 🙂

When I got into pole fitness, my man started getting into bodyweight fitness and flexibility. It's very gymnastics inspired. He's been learning arm balances and working on pull ups and squats, and soon plans to install a set of gymnastics rings in our garage! I don't think he's interested in being a pole dancer himself, but he does use my pole for some exercises. It's been a fun journey together. We actually look at Veena's videos together, particularly for flexibility and strength, and share tips and ideas.

probably not the dance aspect but its so much fun that we lift together and use other work out apperatusus' together! They respect the strength and control it takes to pole if they play on it a little. Its great doing it and learning to be stronger and more confident together

I started out just trying the fitness part for something different. At the end of my first lesson my teacher at the time asked me if I wanted to freestyle dance. I've been hooked on the dance part ever since. I have done both solo and partnered pole dance with another woman who has a classical ballet background. All of the women that I have danced with have been very supportive and some think men who pole dance are sexy. I have honestly never had a bad reaction from any women with the exception of my nieces and sister in law. Even my mom and dad are ok with it. My wife has attended every showcase that I have danced in.
I love it. Nothing could make me quit.

The first real pole competition I ever witnessed in person, consisted of five men and five women competing. The gender who managed to elicit the loudest audience response, from a crowd dominated by female attendees, was none other than the men.

Haha! My husband got on the pole ONCE. When we first set it up, he had to test it first to make sure it was sturdy. He did a couple spins and then he kicked up into an invert like it was nothing! It was pretty funny actually, since my husband is 6' tall 260lbs (teddy bear build). It totally reminded me of that episode of King of Queens where Carrie bought a pole for their bedroom and Doug showed her how to do a "proper" pole dance on it (here's the scene I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQbczjAZ_fE). LOL.
But seriously, I was super jealous because it took me months to be able to invert and he did it on his first try. Not fair.
-
Too funny Amazon Lady! I remember that episode:-)
-
May fav. King of Queen episode!
-
i love that episode. kevin james totally rocks the pole
actually the girl who does carrie( i forgot her name :S) was on the tv show the talk and they were talking about pole fitness. she totally bashed pole dancers about the whole fitness thing and how its not an acceptable way to get fit 🙁 boo. anyways…
i love guys pole dancing and my boyfriend tried street poling with me once. after one invert he was even more amazed at what i can do 🙂
-
Amazon, my friend can over for dinner last Friday night. After a few drinks he jumped on the pole. He can already do invert, tuck spin, arm only climb etc at his first attempt . Not fair! Took me months to get to that level.
-
well, not all guys can invert and shoulder mount at their first try – only those who are already fit. My brother, for example doesn't do any exercise at all. He tried to pull himself up once on my pole and couldn't really do it. He just said: ugh.. this is tough! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif
