    I love how open-minded, honest, and respectful Jen and Kristen were. They pushed themselves the whole way through, even though they didn't seem the most comfortable out of the group, and were careful to reserve their opinions until the end.

    Devin is such a beautiful woman. She has such a beautiful energy around her, and to talk about what her boss did to her is so powerful. I was sexually abused by my ex boyfriend when we were ating, and after we broke up he sexually assaulted me. Ever since that day, I have felt very insecure and still struggle with anxiety and depression. So for her to share her story is beautiful and empowering

    I really love that the studio has no mirrors and has warm low lighting, whenever i see typical dance studios they're super bright and full of reflections of myself and feel almost clinical, which makes it hard for people who might be self-conscious or not know how to FEEL sexy without judging yourself. The warm lighting here is sensual and comfortable and you can have fun on the pole without seeing a glimpse of yourself in the mirror looking like a fool, haha.

    • @monikas.6536
      @monikas.6536 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      But the mirrors come in handy, when you're doing harder tricks and have to align your body in a specific way (like going from straddle to starfish spin, for me it was impossible without a mirror). I love how my dance studio has both bright lights for learning and low lighting for freestyling ;)

      I think mirrors really help me critique what I’m doing because I can see if I need to be more aligned or something. In dance it would be impossible for me to get better if there was no mirrors

    • @user-oh3wn4jg5x
      @user-oh3wn4jg5x 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      But tbh I bet it would feel less intermediating without mirrors so you don’t critique yourself to much if you are doing something more sensual like pole dancing

    When Devon tells her story, it tears out my heart, but it also makes me feel better. I never talk about what happened to me because I blame myself. I feel like no one can relate to what happened to me, like I'm alone in the world. And when Devon; this huge influence in my life and this girl that I see all the time, told her story, it made me finally open up and talk to my therapist about what happened. Devon saved my life and I couldn't tell her that on the video she made about her story so I'm telling her here.
    Though you may never see this, thank you Devon. You're my hero.

Like, it's always amazing and inspiring to see women get in touch with themselves and their bodies like this, but I appreciated that they also showed Jen's opinions. It shows that sexuality doesn't have to be expressed just through 'being sexy' but that a woman's sexuality can be expressed however she wants.

      Yes! Real empowerment is allowing people to live their lives the way they need or want to in order to be happy and being supportive of whatever that is, rather than shaming or judging. The fact that pole dancing helped some of the girls get in touch with their sexuality and the fact that Jen learned it wasn't for her are both equally valid and should both be celebrated.

    • @deniseharper7668
      @deniseharper7668 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do think Jen would have enjoy herself more at a standard pole fit studio, instead of S factor and it emphasis on sensuality. I have been doing pole for 2 years now and I still don't enjoy the dancing aspect, but there is a lot to gain from pole than feeling more sexy.

      You know what? I know that Kristin's weight and figure is due to a condition, and you should always feel good in and love your body. But let's not forget that being overweight and not working out is actually a health risk (so is being too skinny or being "just right" but eating only junk food). Whether Jazzmyne or Kristin do or don't have a condition, they also don't look after their body very well (that's obvious from many videos). They are incredibly talented ladies and it's so inspiring how confident they are and don't hide their bodies. But saying that they don't have to change as long as they feel good, could be just as harmful to young people as the size-0-talk, in my opinion.

    Kristen: "For me, sexuality isn't performative. Its more private" Me: mind blown. I have always struggled with being sexual publicly and the simple answer is that for me it's a private thing and the weight on my shoulder just disappeared. Stay awesome Ladylike!

    I love the concept of no mirrors and warm light, it would make me feel so comfortable and confident. Also women being together and cheering up each other is wonderful. I really want to attend a class but there is nothing comparable to this near me..

      I feel like it doesn't matter if you want to do it for yourself or if you want to do it as a job or even to impress men.
      What matters is that you want to do it and I think people should stop being so judgemental about everything. Let strippers be strippers, there's nothing wrong with that if they want to do it (:

    I'm normally not really fond of buzzfeed videos but this video really opened my mind to pole dancing. I've always see it in a negative light due to movies and ignorance. Never knew it could be so artistic and graceful. I loved that it shows that women don't have to be ashamed to feel sexy in their bodies.

      Yep I would say this would be great to try. After all you will be doing this in a room with ppl and a safe trusting environment....not on a TH-cam video with both a visual and a personal narrative. Go for it! I bet you build all kinds of personal confidence.

    • @thetreacherousleech8990
      @thetreacherousleech8990 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      You should just try it out in a safe place. Find a good instructor, see how you feel whilst doing it and if it's not your thing or you feel uncomfortable with it you can always stop and if you worry about other people you don't have to share this with them.

    • @Knucklebone22
      @Knucklebone22 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      another option is bellydance. it engages body control and awareness. pole not required, and it can be done in group or solitarily, depending on how you feel. i hope only healing for you.

      She's definitely not my favorite, but mostly because her interests and personality don't vibe with me. I can't really relate to her the way I can with Kristen (I struggle with similar health problems) or Jen (we're both Japanese). It's ok to have a favorite and least favorite of the group.
