Pole dancers at NDP and YOG

The people are at it again, stereotyping pole dancers even before they see the act.

THIS pretty much reminds me of what we went through LAST YEAR during NDP.

At least
THIS OTHER PERSON'S comments are more thought thru and not jumping the gun.

I think it will take people a l.o.o.o.o.o.o.ng time before they accept pole dancing as as form of new sport. So I have given up trying too hard to change people's mind set at a public event, I'd far prefer to educate it through a different channel, for example like at the POCC Pink Party, such as
THIS CLIP.

But as far as public events are concerned, I have moved on to introduce another form of aerial arts.
This Heritage Fest offered an extremely enriching experience, and above all, artists were paid proper "professional" fees & given TV coverage (albeit short). Comparing this to the former gig, the artists were paid only a "token" fee in exchange of many full-day rehearsals, and all these for a 10-sec TV exposure for the actual event (I heard this year YOG's pole dancers not even on TV), and in the end still had to suffer much public criticisms!

Well hopefully the next time if we are offered a chance to appear again, pole dancing would already be awarded its sports status just like yoga, pilates and martial arts.

------------added later-------------

while googling for more info, I chanced upon THIS, the article and comments are like "wow! i didn't know"

What is Advance Open Pole Class:
Open pole class is an open practice session for Acro Polates students having completed at least level 5 and above.

During the open practice session, a “move of the day”* will be demonstrated by the instructor, and it is practice-til-pole-fection by the participants.

The “move of the day”* can be an advanced move, a routine, a combo, can be on static, on spinny or first on static then spinny, can be a move dependant or independent of the previous class/other classes. If the earlier, the instructor will make known to students,

CONCEPT OF OPEN POLE CLASS
Simply to provide therapy, stress relieve, interact with students of various classes/ levels, while shedding some calories. It does not and is not meant to replace any of the other structured classes Acro Polates has designed for you.

As such, you can purchase single sessions or in clusters of 4, 6 or 8 sessions in each term. Needless to say, you save more when you purchase more sessions per term. Single or additional sessions can be cought at $30 per session but priority are given students who pre-purchase the sessions in the event of a full turn out.

The studio/instructor does not guarantee
1. a minimum or maximum number of participant in each class, the more the merrier but as the class grows too big, Acro Polates will open more slots

2. that it is a brand new move each session. Take it as practice and challenge yourself in getting into it faster or with more grace and ease if that move is not new to you.

3. That everyone will achieve the move at the end of the session, but the instructor will tailor the level of difficulty if the need arises.

What is the difference between Open Pole Class and Pole Practice
1. Pole practice is for all levels and everyone practising different moves at their own pace. There is no instructor during pole practices to ensure that you are getting the moves right.

2. With everyone trying to achieve the same move during the session, the challenge is heightened.

Class Rates (quoted per term)
1. Single class –come for class and purchase $30
2. 4 per term (pre-purchased) $100
3. 6 per term (pre-purchased) $140
4. 8 per term (pre-purchased) $170
For 2) and 3) additional slots can be purchased at $30/session

The studio reserves the right to turn away those who did not pre-purchase in the event the classes have full turnout.

My humble attempt to pole DANCE

Yes and I'm bold enough to perform it these days..those who know me know I pole, but never really 'dance' (which is why the courses I offer are pole fitness)



To all my blog friends, apologise deeply that I have been neglecting my blog and yours....now i truly understand why some ppl complain 24 hours not enough.....I have an unending "to accomplish" list and it seems to get longer everyday....at least I'm proud of the fact that i finally got my iphone and got my car serviced, 2 most time consuming tasks that I had procrastinated for a very long time.....

badly needed next are a facial and an annual body check up ...haiyo....hate these things because they take away at least half your day .....& to make it worse I have developed tremedous sleep disorder! not easy being tao kay neo....deep breath!
