Hey there JC!
You know what kills me…..? All my life I grew up in a religious holy war… My grandparents are pentecostal missionaries in Port Au Prince, Haiti, Nairobi, Kenya, Brazil, Mexico, Mozambique, & More…… My mother is Catholic. I have had religion crammed down my throat so much that when I get ill and vomit it spews forth. I specifically remember a bible lesson from my early childhood where it reads something like: "…..make a joyful noise unto me…" Talking about singing and dancing and being joyful in the name of the Lord. The bible also refers to making sure to be a "good wife" & "taking care of your mate" etc. And I think Pole Dancing does all of that. You choose to use it as a form of creative expression, which is beautiful, and wives like me, do it for the fitness as well & the ability to surprise and stimulate our marriages. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Having said that: I watched your vid. I watched several vids from this site, actually, and there wasn’t a single one that made me cringe. My Grandmother even said, "wow he’s strong, like those circus people who do that acrobat stuff in Vegas…." She meant Cirque de Soleil. Now trust me when I tell you MY Pentecostal, holy rolling, tongue speaking Grampepper can get down and flay you easily if she thinks your betraying her God…. trust me on that one….. But this woman saw fitness, acrobatic skill, & loved the music choice.
Now me? I’m a Wiccan Priestess. Going into my 2nd year of study with my teachers…. and last time I looked no one in my community calls you out on YouTube and declares you blasphemous of the path you choose to walk. I find it offensive and demeaning to Christians when someone feels the need to publicly humiliate another in the name of God. To me it isn’t any different from stoning a woman in the town square after publicly declaring her a whore. It is both humiliating & defamatory to one’s character to draw out your perceived negatives…and perhaps if this man had a job, a hobby, a wife (preferably one who pole danced, heheheh) who actually occupied his mind, his heart, & his spirit with love & purpose then he’d be less miserable and more inclined to show love & compassion and support for those unique individuals who go forth and try something different. Isn’t it said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I wonder when people who spend their lives judging get to the pearly gates if God meets them instead of St. Peter and says…"Wow, you did my job for me….and you did it badly….Thanks, but no thanks…Heaven’s full."
I wholly and joyfully support you, amigo. It is my hope, through your love of life, your courage, & audacity to dare that your gift changes the world and helps in the universal shift towards kindness that we have been pushing for.
With much love-
Brightest Blessings-

Thank you. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I love Roxy..it’s so chic and punk at the same time. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I’m just starting pole dancing. Doing the stretching and strength exercises now. But I danced ballet for 10 years. I’m really excited, you?
