  1. pole dancing or phallic envy? These girls are definite gymnasts. I’d give at least one of them a gold medal.

  2. That’s not the music I always hear at those joints.
    OH I mean KLAW told me that’s not the music…dunno.

  3. Damn! That was actually pretty crazy! I thought that one where she’s holding on to the pole with just her hands, staying upside down and belly dancing was wicked (1:40). I’m surprised that these women can hold their own weight horizontally with just their hands and skinny arms.

  4. Very impressive Gals. Vertical gymnasts instead of horizontal.
    Toned and talented…..doesn’t mean that they are in a bad profession.

  5. I have a static pole in the livingroom for about 2 months now, and I can barely hold my body weight on the pole, much less perform any of those complicated maneuvers. Ming AKA Suzie Wong on youtube has been doing it for a few years, she’s great.

  6. That’s a different Club Imperial than I was thinking about. I was thinking where Tina Turner got her start (On West Florissant in St., Louis). But I also know where this Club Imperial is…and I’ve never been their either. I need to get out more.

  7. I’m not “pro-stripper” or anything, but damn…that takes talent! You have to be so strong to do anything like that! Very impressive ladies…

  8. that video was awesome! those girls did some pretty awesome moves. I’d “make it rain” if I was there

  9. Interesting take on the concept of competative Pole Dancing. If you are still uneducated about what actual ‘pole dancing’ (NOT stripper-pole dancing) entails…it’s probably about time you do some research…which would’ve been a great idea prior to expressing an opinion on the subject. Honestly, pole dancing is the most difficult, amazingly effective and yet still fun way to get fit and stay healthy and in shape I’ve ever found. I am a trained dancer with a degree and have done my share of fitness and sports training throughout my life. My challenge to anyone: Find a BETTER way to get and stay in shape that has the positive mental and physical rewards of learning how to pole dance. As of yet-No takers. The combination of lifting your own body weight with every move while doing it against gravity-equals unmatched results! Not to mention it is an elegant, appealing, acrobatic display that deserves more credit. There’s a huge difference-and division-between exotic pole dancing and fitness pole dancing. It doesnt necessarily need to be in the Olympics to have validation either-it’s already there. The only people who haven’t figured that out yet are those who haven’t done their homework! Maybe you should try it!
