just a small vent -- I want to be a bit more creative onstage so I signed up for pole classes, took my first one last night. It was fun and not surprisingly I picked up the exercises really quickly, the instructor was like "Wow! And this is your first pole class? I don't believe that." Being in the environment I was in, I just said the truth "Oh, well I'm a dancer so I can do some basic stuff." She was a nice chick, but commented something awkward in front of everyone:
"Oh.. like Jumbo's? Do you work there?"
"Nah I don't."
"Oh really? Well it's GREAT it's all about the pole and you don't have to take your clothes off at all. I've never been there but I've heard about it."
It felt a bit condescending to me, and after that I definitely got a weird vibe from the room, not that I really care, but it's unfortunate that with pole dancing becoming so mainstream you'd think that a group of females who obviously enjoy it would be more open to what we do. I realize that most of these girls take the class either as an artistic hobby or to dance for their S/O -- but come on, where do you think this all originated? THE STRIP CLUB!!!!
