Pole Dancing at the Circus

I was asked to perform in the spiegal tent in cork by fidget feet. It was full to the brim with mothers, fathers and children, it was one of the best experiences of my life!!!

Another question, sorry I curious. If a pole only has a fixed base does the performer has to use more skill and enegry to counter balance the lean or the swaying of the pole near the top?

hello

this was a home made stage that the circus built, it was not made properly and quie dangerous, so dont take that as a guide, look at the x-stage we have a video of. yes there is more movement but you get used to it with in mins. i dont think it is any harder, but just take a bit of getting used to. I dont think any more skill or energe is required.

This was a mainstream event in the UK. Yet this week in U.S. TIME (feb 2008), three new fitness crazes (including weighted hula hoops!) are covered and pole dancing is ignored. What accounts for pole popularity in the UK and Commonwealth countries while it is ignored here in the US? (Sheila Kelley is the exception but she is a famous celebrity)

It just that we are about a year ahead of the rest of the world in pole dancing. Look at the janet jackson boob gate, the reaction was totaly blown out of proportion. i think that in a year or two time it will be different in the USA, well i hope so anyway. The more schools that open the more accepted it will become!

I love how classy your routine was. Pole dancing is inherently sexy, you kept it sexy strong and sweet! Is the X-Pole out yet???

[KTCoates]

She is so smooth, and sensual, wonderful!!

Very inspiring, great to watch.

Good for her. Go KT!!!

Is it harder to perform on a pole that as a fixed based only? As it appears in this video and many others that the pole leans and sways the higher the performer goes up the pole.
