As you will recall, a couple of weeks ago I posted Part 2 of the Pole Dancer's Guide to The Anti-Poler and I called it "Building a Bridge". In an effort to practice what I preach, I found a an anti-pole dance blog entry and I responded to it. Go to the link below and check out what happened.

Your response was very well written. I'm glad to see that you were able to get him to look deeper into pole dancing. After watching the USPDF vid, he actually acknowledged how strong we really are. Now, if only he would give it a whirl for himself!
ReplyDeleteThanks Descending Angel! I wish he would give it a try too. Or at least let his wife and daughter try...Maybe I should send him the "Silent Bodies" piece!
ReplyDeleteI am sure he didn't stop at the one video. If he digs deep enough he will see how most of these pole dancers are in better shape than any trainer could ask for. And most people (including myself at one time) have no idea how hard and strenuous it can be and how it works muscles you didn't even know existed. It's easy to talk down on something you know very little about. Ignorance is bliss. Your response was great though, you sort of shut him up....for the moment!
ReplyDelete@Mishmash: Ha! I am SO sure he didn't stop at one video either! Thanks for the support. It's so true - it is VERY easv to talk down on something you know nothing about. Let's hope he stays curious an da little more open-minded!
