Hong Kong Pole Dance

It’s been forever since I last updated my blog! So big HELLO to all of you, the pole dancers and students, party organizers, fitness gym-goer, and the ones who enjoy reading my blog and been supporting my pole dancing dream!

2009 has been a wonderful year for me. One of the biggest achievements I have accomplished this year is going to Japan to host a pole dancing workshop! I also passed the examination and got my certificate from Tokyo in pole dancing teaching. It was amazing not just because I finally got to teach but also the passion and techniques I have learned from those pole lovers I met there. We also had a little party in Tokyo Ultra Lounge which some good friends showed up and supported (they all tried pole dancing too!!) I swear I am going to write more about the workshop and pole parties in Tokyo in the next post. In addition to advancing my skills in teaching, I also participated in a few performances earlier of the year. Now that I have finally realized, how pole dancing performance increases one’s self-confidence, and brings out the ultimate sexiness. I can’t wait to share with you the joy and tears I have encountered for being a contract performer.

So 2009 is coming to the end but our passion to pole dancing never ends! It’s the year’s most exciting event again - Pole Dance Championship 2009! Many of you have learned that it was in Manila last year and it has cultivated a few pole star from the competition, such as Marsha Yuan from the USA, Anna Marie from the Philippines. This year, the event has attracted even more great pole dancers from all over the world. The one I truly admire is Sarah Nichole who has also hold the title of USPDF’s Miss Trixter 2009. I seriously think she stands the highest chance to win the championship. I also like Mai Sato from Art Flow Tokyo who’s very talented in spinning pole. And don’t forget Symone Corby - one of the most popular pole dancing instructors from Hong Kong, as well as Nataniel Pires the Miss Pole Dance SA 2009.

Pole Dance Championship has absolutely helped raising the bar for the industry. Besides the contestants, they have also invited excellent performers for the event including Jamilla Deville (Miss Pole Dance Australia 2005), the spinning pole goddess Lu from Art Flow Tokyo, and Ania Przeplasko the founder of IPDFA. You can check out more information from its official website: http://www.polechampionship.com

I hope you all happy pole dancing. More posts regarding pole event all over the world will be on their way soon so please stay tuned! I shall also get back to a few of you x’mas party inquiries with no time!

Cheers!

We had a pole dancing party on boxing day at The Priory, LanKwaiFong. It’s one of the places that provides a pole and a okay space for you to dance around. About 20 people showed up that night and we all danced and had fun. I was extremely happy to see the girls I used to practice pole dancing with. Since the classes at groove dance stopped and Ania left town, we never had a chance to hang out and dance again. So, thanks a lot to Tess & Waiwai who organized everything for the party.

Everyone was a bit shy in the beginning. It had been a while since we last pole danced. After some drinks, we were more relaxed and more serious dancing finally started. However, the pole at The Priory isn’t the best for more advanced tricks. It’s painted and very slippery. I was the only one who could sit on the pole but I was using the strength of the hook to support the move instead of the grip of my thigh. It seriously kills you when you try to do up-side-down - it burns your skin when you slide down! I would strongly suggest them to change to a X-Pole.

I loved the girls night out. That was really fun! Hope that we can line up something again very soon.

Very nicely posed Rona!                   Just tried to do the Chair              The pole dancers / party-goers!

Soda Bar located at Hollywood Road, Central. It’s one of the places that provides a pole for people to dance. It’s got a static pole sized 50mm. I wasn’t very used to it as the one I usually praticed with is 45mm. Basically the pole is set in the middle of the couch that’s in between tables. It’s quite impossible to tell people to get away from the pole when you dance. That means it’s hard to do big spinning moves otherwise you might kick somebody’s head. However, upside-downs are fine coz you will land on the couch instead of the dirty floor.

Also, it’s easier to get the crowd pole dance comparing to Zinc because it’s an open bar and the pole is easy to access. Just to show you some pictures of Soda Bar and me dancing.
