    The first stage of mastering ANYTHING in life is the "looking like a complete idiot" stage. We gravitate to the tiny handful of things we started learning to do as kids, because we navigated that stage before we were self-conscious and weighed down by our egos.
    So great to see these men with the confidence to try and fail and try again to do something new. That willingness to fail, that willingness to endure the "look like an idiot" phase and keep on going, is what will make them successful at literally anything they try to accomplish.

      Seems like he has some kind of talent. I don't know what kind of talent it is, so i will just quote from encycopedia britannica: "As well as strength and mobility, a good dancer must also possess great coordination (the ability to work different parts of the body together), a highly developed kinesthetic awareness (in order to know and control the position and state of the body), ..." or if it's not talent, then maybe he likes dance.

      It doesn't have to be sexy, but is REALLY graceful, even more than ballet. I find it truly captivating. I can't even imagine the strenght that you have to have to raise your leg to do the fan kick (that she says it is easy and I totally don't believe it)

      Well, it's the same with yoga. When I do yoga (male), I'm fully aware that onlookers (of both sexes) will mostly focus on my protruding butt and genitals. Partly it's biological, but to a larger extent it's because how our stupid culture turns body and (anything approaching) nudity into taboo/sensation. But if you do it a lot and with like-minded people, it gets "old" pretty quickly and no longer feels so awkward or exciting (also true for completely nude appearances, e.g. in sauna).

      I’m sure in reality they spent over an hour together and she probably did explain it all in detail , they’re just trying to do a general overview video based mainly on the rock climbers. If they were to put every explanation & every single little detail on the video it would be way too long and viewers would get bored and click out. I’m sure she was more specific, they just don’t need to include every single detail in video.

      Pole-centered sports have been around for many centuries, originating in parts of Asia. Performers were respected for the athleticism and acrobatics involved and the cuts, burns, and bruises that inherently result from those stunts were often regarded as badges of honor. The eroticism associated with pole dance appears more recently within the past couple of centuries. I have found pole fitness studios to be the warmest, most welcoming, positive, and non-judgmental of places to be. If you get the chance, give it a try!

      @alexbarlow6535 6 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      Lindsay Levine i think they chose all males because you don't see many men that pole dance so maybe if they chose a female rock climber, people would've thought it would be "easier" for her or "more natural" and would consider it unfair

    • @Hutla
      @Hutla 6 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      That makes it even more important to see a woman on the pole for the first time. Men and women have different problems in pole dancing. But they are usually better in different things.
      Men: sweat more, but have more power and are not that embarrassed.
      Women: hands do now sweat usually that much, but the power levels are lower and some feel more of pressure being graceful and sexy, which might make them more insecure. Also women tend to do better with pain, compared to men.
      I've been teaching pole dancing for five years, so these are things that I've seen. This comparison would've been great.
