1
Pole dancing is a form of pornography.
2
Okay, that's a myth.
3
Have you ever seen a porno?
4
My name is Victor.
5
My name is Nadia.
6
My name is Candace Kane.
7
My name is Alec Tsupa.
8
My name is Mary Carol,
9
and I've been pole dancing for eight and a half years.
10
Three years.
11
Seven years.
12
Nine years.
13
Twelve years.
14
Myth.
15
That's really a myth.
16
First of all, there's nothing wrong with stripping.
17
That's a legit career choice.
18
Mostly it stems from ignorance.
19
I think until you actually walk into a class,
20
it's really hard to expect people to understand the magic that happens in those walls.
21
We come from many, many backgrounds,
22
just every background you can imagine.
23
We have teachers, we have mothers,
24
we have attorneys, we have doctors.
25
People who take classes who learn pole are kind of doing the same reason I do.
26
It's for exercise or for self-expression, for dance or whatnot.
27
Not everyone who takes a dance class is going to be,
28
wants to be a dancer.
29
In the pole dance community,
30
there are a few of those who like to mention that they're not a stripper.
31
And while that is true,
32
that doesn't mean that we should exclude strippers from the conversation.
33
A lot of pole dancing is first witnessed in an exotic club or in TV,
34
usually in a nightclub setting,
35
that's only one facet of pole dancing.
36
That's a myth.
37
It's a myth.
38
Because I am a pole dancer.
39
It's a really archaic stereotype that was placed on it and it's not accurate.
40
We have tons of males, straight and gay, transgender.
41
We have so many different people that come through the pole dancing doors and are 100% welcomed and encouraged.
42
A lot of people are surprised when I tell them
43
that my husband's a pole dancer because they believe that all male pole dancers are gay.
44
And so they think, is he bi?
45
Why does he like to dance?
46
I'm like, nah, he just likes to pole dance and he likes to love me.
47
So, having a pole at my wedding was the best decision I could have ever made
48
because not only did we get to use it for our first dance,
49
we have photos of all our friends and family doing their own pole tricks on it too,
50
which was really great.
51
Okay, that's a myth.
52
Have you ever seen a porno?
53
That is a myth.
54
Anybody that says that pole isn't a real sport probably is not an athlete.
55
But most of the time,
56
like athletes and people that do any sort of movement,
57
They're usually mind blown because when you know about movement and you see pole dancing,
58
you just automatically know the amount of hours and training that go in are extreme.
59
To me, it's definitely a creative process,
60
so it's for sure art.
61
We work really hard at creating characters,
62
costumes, backgrounds, musicality, and it can be comedic,
63
it can be dramatic, it can tell a story of your own heart.
64
It is truly, truly a beautiful art form.
65
Absolutely a myth.
66
Myth.
67
That's a myth and that's also true, so.
68
In all honesty, we wear skimpy stuff because it's a practical thing.
69
You can't stick to the pole if you're wearing a jumpsuit.
70
We do have to wear really small clothing the more crazy our skillset becomes
71
because we use our flesh as friction and contact points to make sure we don't fall.
72
But also, I do like wearing sexy outfits because I feel better,
73
and when I feel better, I dance better.
74
However, there are different types of pole dancing,
75
i.e. Chinese pole or silicone poles that you can,
76
and it's actually encouraged to wear clothes.
77
That's a myth.
78
Oh my gosh, that is a myth.
79
I was not fit, I was weak, I was much larger.
80
And by accident, I went with a friend to a pole studio.
81
I sucked at it, but it stuck.
82
And eventually, the weight came off,
83
and I got athletic, I got strong.
84
I lost over 45 pounds,
85
and I realized that this was my gym.
86
The purpose of pole for some is to get fit,
87
to gain strength, to gain flexibility.
88
I actually think that there is a body type that is really ideal for the type of pole dancing I like,
89
which is thick thighs, thick hips.
90
It just looks so, so nice.
91
And there's some super plus size that just super kill it and just have that body awareness and confidence.
92
And I love a full figure.
93
That is a myth.
94
You are never too old to pole dance.
95
I'm 65.
96
I've been doing this for eight and a half years with very,
97
very little background coming into it.
98
So I had to work on the strength,
99
which was a little harder,
100
but I can say, I've done it.
101
Being in the competitive industry,
102
we actually have full categories dedicated to people over 50,
103
and those women are mind-blowing and doing all of the skills that 18-year-olds are doing,
104
so it's for all ages.
105
I think that a lot of times women are shamed into thinking that after a certain age,
106
or maybe after you have a baby,
107
or whatever the reason is that you are out of touch with your sensuality and it's not necessary.
108
And I think that pole dancing is a nice relief for that.
109
I think it's a place to find your center again,
110
to find the beauty that is yours.
111
Find it again, it's there.
112
That's a myth.
113
That's absolutely a myth.
114
I did not have a background of dance or gymnastics before.
115
Pole dancers come from all walks of life.
116
Some of them do come from the circus and from a highly trained background,
117
but some of them are just soccer moms that just get on stage and start killing it.
118
I didn't have much of a background.
119
It's just a matter of your desire to do it and attitude.
120
That is a myth.
121
That is a myth.
122
I'll give this a half myth.
123
When I teach people movement or how to dance in an alluring manner.
124
They're like, oh my gosh,
125
I don't know how to be sexy,
126
yada yada, neither do I,
127
look at me, I'm a fool, I'm a moron.
128
Instead of thinking sex, think about what I do.
129
Like, I'm thinking ice cream or burgers or my favorite beer.
130
All of a sudden I'm like, oh.
131
They're like, why does he look so aroused?
132
I'm not, I'm just hungry.
133
When I started pole dancing,
134
I was a very, kinda nerdy 21 year old,
135
and I think gaining confidence in general definitely comes from pole.
136
You can explore and find your sensuality if you want to.
137
There's a lot of movement that we do.
138
We move our hips, we move everything,
139
and you can find the beauty in it and really discover
140
that there's a whole you inside of there
141
that maybe got buried over the course of the events of your life and now it's time to uncover it.
142
Through pole dancing and through practice you gain confidence
143
and you gain the skills to make you feel empowered
144
and I think that that's really the feeling on the inside
145
that emanates out and makes other people say wow damn that's hot.
146
It's whatever move that is challenging me that week that I'm working on that I'm using to improve myself.
147
I love like the basic pole moves like flag or starfish.
148
My favorite pole move is the cane split that I created.
149
Not that many people can do it because you have to have long arms and extreme hamstring flexibility.
150
Some of the best images I've ever taken have been in a handspring and so it's always is like my go-to.
151
One of them is Spatchcock.
152
I've always loved doing that one.
153
And then the new Black Sun Split is another one.
154
The part that really got me hooked on it is the community.
155
The community is what keeps you there because you're so exposed.
156
Here you are, you know,
157
you're in your bathing suit,
158
basically, in front of strangers and whatever body shape you're in.
159
It's a really beautiful and unique thing to pull because they're so extra supportive.
160
When you get in, you never wanna leave.
161
You just end up feeling this sense of home that you can't find anywhere else.
162
Consider it like a gateway drug into a lot of other really dope stuff like high confidence,
163
epic clothing, wanting to make videos,
164
wanting to do photo shoots, getting too many shoes.
165
Yeah, we're a cult and you should join us.
166

167
or myth i have been pole dancing for six years
168

169

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
