Pole Dancing Pole

Incredibly fit, athletic and flexible Canadian pole dancer Kelly Kayne shows her moves.

HERE’S a wheel-y sexy way to get about — a rickshaw with its own built-in POLE DANCER.

New Yorkers have been stunned to see the contraption being ridden around the streets of Manhattan at night.

The tantalising method of transport features an on-board stereo system and flashing lights, as well as an 8ft tall pole.

And as Andrew Katzander, the brains behind the operation pedals, a sexy dancer shimmies up and down, on top of her neon-blue “stage”.

The 45-year-old said: “We’re taking pole dancing to the streets.”

Well we shaw think it’s an idea with legs.

Teen idol Miley Cyrus performed her song ‘Party in the USA’ at Sunday night’s Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, which was broadcast Monday night on Fox.

During the performance the 16-year-old singer does a pole dance atop a ice cream cart. She is dressed in micro-short shorts, black boots and her bra showing ( see a photo .)

The move has some people wondering whether she is going the Britney Spears career route and trying to grow up too fast ( Cyrus presented her “hero,” Britney Spears, with the a lifetime award at the show). Some are also concerned with the message she may be sending to her young fans.

“She already has this risque image, so it really wasn’t much of a stretch,” says Us magazine senior editor Ian Drew to Newsday . “That’s how Britney took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well.”

But Disney, which makes the hugely popular “Hannah Montana” brand said to Newsday , “Disney Channel won’t be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience - kids 6-14 - and consistent with what our brand values are.”

Entertainment Weekly wrote of the performance that it “came off completely inappropriate and ill-advised.”

Cyrus made headlines after a she posed semi-topless for the June 2008 Vanity Fare issue. She later said in a statement that   she was “so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

But Cyrus’ young fans are behind her as the teen queen took away six surfboard-shaped trophies at the ceremony.

Charlottesville, Virginia—August 6, 2009— The U.S. Pole Dance Federation (USPDF) and Shergold Studio’s Exotic Fitness (E-Fit) Dance program are pleased to announce the first-ever East Coast Pole Dance Regional Competition event, which will be held on Sunday, October 4, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre on the Charlottesville downtown mall. During the event, 12 women will compete in modern pole dancing – a sensual athletic dance form that demands coordination, flexibility and physical strength. The participants will vie for a spot in the annual national championship to be held Spring 2010.

“We are delighted to be a partner with USPDF to provide a platform for this unique – and sometimes misunderstood — art form to the local area,” said Erica Shergold, co-owner and E-Fit Dance program director at Shergold Studio. “Hundreds of everyday women have taken pole and exotic dance lessons with us and other studios across the country, gaining confidence, increasing their fitness and having fun. At this event, the public will get a glimpse of the beauty of modern pole dancing as some of the nation’s best dancers compete in this unique event.”

The USPDF was founded in 2008 as the interest of pole dancing grew significantly in the U.S. The Shergold Studio, which launched in 1999, began offering pole dance lessons to everyday women as a unique fitness and dance offering in 2004.

Bangalore: Wake up at 7am, get her two children ready for school, then prepare breakfast for her husband. This, in a nutshell, described 30-year-old Geetha’s* daily morning routine for the past eight years.

Being a homemaker, her days were relatively empty till the children — Aarti (6)* and Rahul (four and a half)* — returned from school in the evening. It had all started seeming like a colourless saga to her.

“The monotony of my life had started to scare me,” says Geetha, “and I knew I had to do something about it, soon. I became very low on confidence as I had also put on a few extra kilos.”

So, she began to look for ways to make herself feel good: “I thought of joining dance classes to have some fun and lose weight. While looking for options on the internet, I happened to come across a listing of ‘exotic’ dance classes — striptease, lap dance, pole dancing, etc — in the city.”
