Being a guy who pole dances, I will say that you defenitly get hit with the stereotyping, stigma's, misconceptions, and other negatives very quickly as do women. Some people are just set in a line of thinking that guys and girls are only allowed to do x y and z. An even with that allowance it is always something to come along with that x y and z, when we actually go and try it. I have been called alot of names lately after expressing how serious I am about becoming a PoleFessional. Depending on where you live (like where I am) there is little to no support, or classes available for a guy wanting to venture into aerial arts so it was like running in the dark when I first got into pole dance.I knew I was going somewhere but i had no idea where. Some forms of dance are marketed as a quote on quote not a "Man" thing to do so it get's very little exposure and is always weird at first to see. Now after realizing that skin and skin training was a big key to holding myself in various positions I did take a step outside the box by watching myself in my practice clips and I will admit that if your not into pole dance/fitness you'd probably be weirded out about the rolled up shorts and men exploring/expressing sensuality through this style of movement. I am glad that StudioVeena.com is here to help us all break through the social norms and see that pole dance, pole fitness, arieal arts, and the sensuality gained is for everyone. Everyone here is super supportive and that keeps me motivated and inspired to get better and better. Also I stand firm on the benefits from this and I make sure that when someone say's something out of line about me and pole dancing on other social networking sites that I don't attack them, but ensure that the other people reading it will see the positves about pole dance and what it can do for them as well.
Jungle cat, Vladimir, Steven Rech, , Rodney James, and many more of these guys are awesome. I like the personality Vladmir puts in his videos, the passion and androgyny steven puts in his work, I love Rodney's Chair work omg it's pheonomenal, its aggessive and yet sexy in the end, and Jungle cat is just fearless in studio sessions.
