      Why is she wearing a bathing suit and not a leotard (like a gymnast)? Bodybuilders wear bikinis so the judges can have a clearer view of the athlete's muscle definition. So I was wondering if it was the same reason with pole dancers, or if it had more to do with clothing making it harder to grip the pole.

      @@Karen-pk3uv I dont do pole but I thought it was pretty clear it's because it makes it easier to grip the pole. I dont do pole, but I do hoop dance. You need the skin and the sweat and moisture for friction, whether to stay on the pole or to keep the hoop up but pole is far more dangerous in that aspect lol.

    • @TheLordOfTheCats7
      @TheLordOfTheCats7 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @@Karen-pk3uv Also please is a bit different from gymnastics in the fact that the bar is vertical instead of horizontal and more/vastly different tricks can be performed in pole as long as clothing permits it. A pole dancer likely couldnt perform many of the moves like ashley does here if she were wearing a leotard.

      they do make sticky clothing (including leotards) but other than that you need the skin contact.

      For instance two fat people having sex are engaged in a sexual act, but most people wouldn’t call it sexy because they wouldn’t consider it pleasing.
      So you can be sexual but not sexy. But you can’t be sexy without being sexual.

In this routine there’s some movements around the stage, but her strength was on the poles. Her off-pole work made her look not flexible. Her pole work was great, very fluid, but pole “dancing” I see more of as a sport category, kinda like rhythmic gymnastics. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it was added to the olympics one day.

    • @HangryKitsune

      Exactly. It has a very big community of acrobats and all kinds of dance elements you could think of. "Stripping" or exotic dancing is rather just a small part. Modern Dance, Ballet, Hip Hop, Breack Dance are also very common styles.
      It's kinda funny how many people comment here on the video like it's something extraordinary, but it exists as art and sport since years exactly like in this video. (is this video trending or was it mentioned somewhere?) Pole dance / pole acrobatic videos like this exist since years in all kinds of styles, professional levels and beginners. And with all kinds of dancers since this community is far more accepting than most of the commenters under this video. This community is not just very feministic we also welcome all genders, sexualitis, bodyshapes, skincolors etc. I love that about this sport.

      Strayfox, you make an excellent point about this and I wish the art and elegance of this would catch people’s attention more often. It’s 2019 and still there’s a stigma attached to this and many more things. I’ll be honest, I’m not one of those people who hears pole dancing and automatically assumes the person is taking their clothes off and making money but I am ignorant about the different aspects of it. Just watching this video you can see that this woman is crazy talented and that she works hard, probably day in and day out. It’s a shame they don’t get more recognition..

Did this woman in this video strip herself naked? Did she offer her body sexually to another human being? Or did she perform an acrobatic dance that involved strength and flexibility? And if you are pissed at the lack of clothing, please take a look into a physics book and climb a fucking metal pole with full clothes on and try to do the things she did in her performance.
