Hel­lo!

My name is An­jela and my pas­sion is pole danc­ing.

I be­lieve that it’s im­por­tant for ev­ery wo­m­an to love and feel her body. This is es­pe­cial­ly im­por­tant for health, both men­tal­ly and phys­i­cal­ly.

I’ve tried dif­fer­ent kinds of sports but pole danc­ing brings me re­al plea­sure. I can feel ev­ery cell of my body, I can feel my mus­cles tense. I feel my­self when I do it. I re­veal my­self as a wo­m­an and I re­al­ly like that.

There are a lot of stereo­types about this sort of danc­ing but I be­lieve that th­ese need to be de­stroyed.

When I’m pole danc­ing I have to com­bine el­e­ments of chore­og­ra­phy, artis­tic gym­nas­tics and ac­ro­bat­ics in­to one unique com­plex dance. It’s pret­ty dif­fi­cult, but I love it.

One more thing I’d like to con­vey to peo­ple is that this dance is a sport and a form of art. I’m glad that I’ve been do­ing it now for over two years and I’ve al­ready suc­ceed­ed in it.

How do you feel about it? Do you think it's beau­ti­ful or not? I’d be very in­ter­est­ed to know your re­sponse!

Sin­cere­ly,
An­jela
