Article ToolsPole Dance Federation's World Pole dance Championship films or clips using any search engine. You can also find clips and information by searching for the winner of the Word Pole Dance Championship Felix Cane, or the runner up and US Pole Dance Championship winner Jeanine Butterfly. These two champions embody the style, the strength, and the beauty of this intense emerging sport.
In seeking to draw in an wider audience of younger viewers, pole fitness has even been submitted to the Olympic Committee for consideration as a new gymnastic event as soon as the 2012 Olympics to be held in London, England. In order for pole dancing to become an Olympic sport it must be practiced by both men and women. People tend to think only of female fitness when they think of pole dancing for fitness, but I assure you there are world class male performers as well as female performers. They manage to display acrobatic skill, masculine power, and their performances are in no way effete. If this is a sport that you have not heard of or have not seen performed I urge you to go to your nearest video sharing website and see what is going on with this extremely popular and fast growing sport. If there is not a pole studio in your immediate area yet, believe me there soon will be.
