Pole Documentaries
Just something I was thinking about. My boyfriend, who loves rock climbing as much as I love pole, is always sending me these youtube mini documentary video type things about climbers and their lives, or like, a mountain or insane route they climbed. It makes rock climbing seem really hard and really cool (well, it is) and I think it makes people want to do rock climbing, and makes them see rock climbing with reverence.

(You only have to watch a bit to see what its all about)
As I watch these videos, it makes me a bit sad because I really wish people did the same thing for pole dancers and pole dancing. Videos of dancers and their lives and struggles, and the soul of pole. I think that not only will it be good representation for pole, but mostly that polers around the world who work their asses off should be recognized, even if its just a little video that gets passed around other polers.

Love, love, love the idea. I think I might start on one of my own. 🙂
Happy Poling:) -
I know of at least one that was made. This is a little clip about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBoHowVRwzI

I love that. I’ve always wanted to watch that video since I found out about it, but I dont know where I can find it.
I think we need more of things like this, repping pole and telling its story, letting the voice of pole be heard, even if we can only reach other polers. I think those aspects of pole dancing (the physical and emotional struggle, taking care of families at the same time, having to hide it from co-workers or family, etc) are just as much a part of pole as the dance itself.

If I had the skills and resources, I would get on this right away. But I dont, so hopefully I can inspire some others with my post to take part in this idea, and maybe one day it will be a thing that people send to their friends to watch and not have it be received with caution.
You know what I’m saying? I’m terrible with words. -
Ahhh triple post, and Heather005Poles, do it!! 🙂
