Pole Dancing!?!?

This is the reaction I got from my friends when I told them that I’m planning to enroll for pole dancing class.

But I really wanted to try this type of dance.

Based on Wikipedia:

“Pole dance is a form of performing art; a combination of dance and gymnastics. It involves dancing and performing acrobatic tricks with a vertical pole and is an increasingly popular form of fitness and dance, practiced by many enthusiasts in gyms or dedicated dance studios. A wide range of amateur and professional competitions are held in many countries around the world.

“Pole dance requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance.”

“Proper pole dance involves athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions. Upper body and core strength are required in order to attain proficiency, and rigorous training is necessary.”

“Pole dance is now regarded as a recognized form of exercise and can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. Recognized schools and qualifications are now common”

Sounds….F.U.N!!!!

Dancing is not my forte…that’s why I don’t volunteer myself whenever there are dance presentations in the school or even here in the office.

But pole dancing caught my attention, not only because I’ve seen Ciara Sotto’s 22” waistline, but I find it challenging. To tell you the truth, I’m a bit bored working out in the gym. That’s why I invite one of my friends for a run every Sunday in Ayala Triangle. Hopefully this will materialize. I need to shed some pounds before the year ends and to achieve my target waistline of 26 and target weight of 118lbs.

Good luck to that!!!

I’m taking this one step at a time. Let’s see how I will progress in a month, and then I’ll add pole dancing in my weekly schedule. AJA!!!
