Vancouver women redefine sexy with a nine-foot pole
Thu, January 19 2006
"There’s absolutely no nudity. It’s all about women getting a workout in sexy way," says Sharon Goodman, artistic director of the Pole Dance Studio located at the heart of Downtown. Goodman says that pole dancing involves strength training, dance and floor movement. "It builds confidence and it’s feminine." The studio opened mid-way last year and through word-of-mouth, it has built an increasingly multicultural clientele.
"We have Caucasians, Europeans, Asians; you name it, we have it," says Goodman, a Filipino-Canadian. Pole dancing has come a long way from strip joints where strippers made a living slithering up and down a shaft, gaining respectability in fitness studios as an alternative regimen to stay in shape.
"Some of the women who come here say that they want to surprise their husbands or partners. And they learn how to move their hips in a way they’ve never thought of doing before," Goodman says.
