Who do you have a "pole crush" on?

Morgan1 started this discussion · 2/25/2010

So after watching videos on Youtube and anywhere else I can, I have decided my latest "pole crush" is Wendy Traskos. I know its cheesy, but I think it helps me to stay motivated and increases my desire to learn! First was Felix Cane, and now Wendy. I just love the video for New York Pole Dancing on Youtube where she dances to "Click click click" especially the moves at 1:59 and 2:35. Love it! Anyone else have a pole crush? xoxo Morgan

Oh geez. I have a bunch! Karol for SURE, and Fleur is right up there. For sheer batshit fearlessness, Shadow. Emphatically Silent, who I think is our own Philly Pole Jess, has some of the most creative moves and transitions I've seen. And all my other YouTube favs and subscriptions LOL.

I'm crushin on Rebecca Butcher right now. I'm at work so I can't link to her newest video but OMG. She's a bad ass ninja chick! Somebody please link to it so people can see what I'm talking about. LOL I want to have little ninja babies with her.
Skittles01 · 2/25/2010
Okay. . . there are a LOT. . . Jenyne, Karol, The chick from Studio Antix, Sarah Creutel, Fleur, Saphire, the list can go on and on and on, lol. . . But whenever I need inspiration I usually take a peek at Jenyne or Studio Antix, unless another pro has a performance vid up. . .

I agree with Skittles! 🥂 And my current, and original, pole crush is Felix. She's got attitude, style, grace, and strength! 👍 I'm gonna have to look up all these other people that I haven't seen, though! I'll add that I've seen some crazy awesome dancers, but don't know their names, and thus cannot find them again...but I'll look around some more, perhaps add more to this post! 🐱

RoxyPink · 2/25/2010
I would have to say Micula....from Antix! And Marlo!!!! 😀
Charley · 2/25/2010
Wendy was probably my very first pole crush and still is to this day. As a business woman, pioneer of pole and the gorgeous dancer she is...she is everything I aspire to be! Other than that I don't really follow anyone.
DragonPhoenix · 2/25/2010
I'll list three so far and my favorite videos by them (so far too 😀 ). They're in no particular order! Veena: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5HiPNmVVh8 Leigh Ann: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2j_Opqchag Karol Helms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veJLrVEZ7O0

My first loves were are very own Veena and Nicole Williams from Allure Dance in LA. They were the two first videos on youtube that made me say DAMN I Wanna Do That!!! There moves are so lady like but still Hawt. Now with more exposure I am globally in love with Jenyne Butterfly, Alethea Austin, and Karol Helms. And locally in love with Trophywife But in my heart of hearts Veena will always be 👸 I think because even though some of her moves and combos are hella advance it still seems attainable. Its weird cause when I look at her videos I can say to my self I could do that with practice and whatever, but when I look at some of the global loves vids am like I will never be able to do that. And I don't know why because Veena does some of the same stuff but it looks less complicated 🤔 🤔 She moves so effortless and oozes muted sexiness.
ottersocks · 2/26/2010
Oh Roxy, I am **SO** with you on Michula. She is such a great person and I've had the pleasure of taking classes with her. I actually told Fleur the other day I want to hire Mikey to just dance in front of me for a week. Her style stuns me. My other pole crush goes back to USPDF last year, when I was thrilled to pole jam at the home of Lian Tal. She is the nicest, warmest, most beautiful woman. And then I saw her USPDF performance! Her routine turned Control by Puddle of Mudd into my most favorite pole song ever. I can't wait to see her in NY again this year. (And btw, Lian if you're reading this, sorry to sound so stalker-y!) 😂
amcut · 2/26/2010
Lori Huett from tranzendance. and Michula, definitely. Vee should so make the next challenge a "Pole Idols" challenge, where you try to handle the style of your chosen master.
Skittles01 · 2/26/2010
That would be a fun challenge. . . And certainly a "challenge"!!! Yes, what am I thinking. . . SISSY BUNS and JUNGLE CAT are certainly on my list too! 😮)
amy · 2/26/2010
lori huett, marlo, michula, amber, and amy impey. 😀 lori, amber, and amy because they are just so... flowy. it looks effortless and thoughtless, and they all clearly have dance training and yet they've created their own styles that are original and beautiful =) marlo because she oozes sensuality and power like no one i've ever met. she is ridiculously strong and creates momentum into crazy spins that no one else can do. she makes everything look easy. michula because she is so damn strong and slow. she has amazing control and does such innovative combinations!
Sapphirecatzeye · 2/26/2010
😀 <3 hugs skittles! thank you 🙂 I can watch Felix all day....every day! every video !!! 🥂 🥂
luvlee · 2/26/2010
Leigh Ann and studio Veen's very own Jungle Cat. I am always impressed w his strength and ability to pole in pj pants. For real! I want to pole jam w these polers for sure one day!!!!!
Mindy4pole · 2/26/2010
I have to admit... I just adore our very own Studio Veena!! Veena is just so graceful and fluid, and her legs... oh!! They go on forever! And I think what she has done bringing together all these members of the pole community from all over the world... WOW!!! I'm in love! 😀 Mindy
verucablue · 2/26/2010
I love... Marlo cause she is just amazing...anyone who is that strong & that sexy - that fun and that unique...AND pulls glitter out of her panties to sprinkle around while she dances...well she wins in my book...seriously GLITTER 😂 😂 Gravity Plays Favorites...burlesque duo pole stars - and they are just the sweetest women and this woman who dances at Cheetahs here in LA...she rocks the pole and always claps her heels...crap I forget her name lol 😀
poledanceromance · 2/26/2010
Oh my god. Yes. Yes!! Loving her lately. The things she pulls off in pants!! I mean really. Shes one of my favorites for danceyness. Karol is one of my all time favorites, along with Jenyne and Felix. They execute mind bending tricks i could only dream of and I'm sooo in love with Karol's style of floorwork. I stink at it, and damn that lady could have my wallet! That said, I try to take a lot of inspiration from fleur, because not only is she tall like me, which can really be a disadvantage, but she moves in a way that says "I'm proud of each and every beautiful muscle on this body." I hope my tricks are as smooth and lean. For example, Homegirl has a jade for the history books. I love Veena's dancing because she's tall too, yet looks so featherlight on the pole I can't believe it.
Jazzy · 2/26/2010
Well of course theres more than one most have already been mentioned : Fleur, Jungle Cat, Karol, Sarah Cretul, Marlo and Veena but my honorable mention is going to Studio409 , She dances so beautifully, I especially love how graceful her legs look in all her vids. I mean everything she does.. even goofing off is graceful somehow. But I love, love, love how pretty her legs are in all her moves. And to boot she has a wonderful, almost unimaginable sense of humour and has so much fun pole dancing. Really, I am convinced she could dance terribly and I wouldn't notice because of her fun nature. I find her very inspiring! 😀 ooo...and I almost forgot...I can't believe it! and a shout out to SapphireCatzEye for introducing a new style of pole with a blend of contortionism. She was one person whose pole vids inspired me to take up pole thus helping me find studio veena. I am so glad to see she is back on the pole scene.
Angel1201 · 2/26/2010
Everyone already mentioned deserves respect and awe for their ability. I'd like to add some girls not mentioned yet. Meghan McDonnell from Xpolesitions and RhiannanNicole from OC Pole Fitness are so polished and seductive in their movement. My very first pole crush though is Bobbi from Australia. A multitude of talent has emerged from Australia b/c of her. Those legs, that glamour and those outfits make me happy!!! ☀️
Mary Ellyn · 2/26/2010
Wendy and one of her instructors: Brynlyn Marlo!!! Jenyne
minicoopergrl · 2/26/2010
WOW, where do I even start? Alethea - the one video w/her on the Xstage dancing to Rev 22:20 by Puscfier - OMG 😮 Theres something about that video, between the moves, song, videography gets me! Jamilla - HOLY COW! Just the promo for Art of Pole got me hooked in These 2 im a bit partial on Lauren from NYPD - I love how she has this crazy sexuality to her when she dances and has fun while doing it. When she taught at Xpose, I remember id talk to her about what I want to do and shed stand there booty poppin while talking. 😎 Jessalynn - Again she helped me get my style down. She can be graceful, sexual, playful, strong at any moment the song calls for it.

My first youtube experience came after my first pole class... and I started with watching some Pantera. To this my reaction was simply: 😲 . When she did the death lay on the ceiling I was just amazed. I had no idea things like that were possible, at the time, lol. I'd have to say though, that my first and only true pole crush is Alethea. I LOVE watching Alethea. She is mesmerizing! The video that I've watched over and over and over again is her dance to Metallica - Bleeding Me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95tpQy6MLs0 🥂 I watch her strength, fluidity, and flexibility with envy and respect. Oh to someday be able to even do one move like Alethea. *sigh*
