Pole dancing? Not what you think.

I was so amazed when I saw this.

mg: That's amazing! How do you even begin to practice that, yeeesh.

lol I can actually do that. Right, I'd fall on my face stepping onto the mat

I can not imagine the strength and coordination that it takes to do this. I have never seen anything like it.
I sent the link to a niece who has spent her life in gymnastics and am interested in what she will think.
I don't think I could climb the pole let alone dance on it.

lol Well I guess it is kind of like gymnastics, maybe side ways pole vaulting. I don't want to say it's harder because I imagine they are both very difficult. Amazing works just fine.
My first thought was those men/women in Hawaii who scale pineapple trees. lol

LOL I just came to look at this video and noticed "pineapple trees" Pineapples don't grow on trees. I was meaning a palm fruit or coconut. lol

Hi
And I have seen rope work in circus or gymnastics where they did some of the stuff. The one move here that gets me every time is where they are standing at the top and appear to fall but catch themselves on the way down, Phew!!!

Yeah that move is crazy. I wonder how many of them have false teeth. lol
