A Pole is For Life – Not Just for Christmas

Although I’ve used a play on words for the title – in the UK every Christmas the RSPCA had TV ads that said ‘a dog is for life, not jut for Christmas’ – I’d like to make a serious point about setting up poles that you get, whether at Christmas or any other time of year. When you’re excited it’s tempting to get the pole up as quickly as possible and just start swinging, but if you don’t check the safety instructions you can... Read More

Talent, Tantrums and Sh!Tting Your Pants at the MPDA Finals

Me… seat… edge… yup, that was how it went for the whole time I was watching the finals of Miss Pole Dance Australia last Saturday night in Sydney. The talent was outstanding, the tricks even more dangerous, a competitor walked off-stage and just before going on-stage someone thought they pooped in their pants! Bobbi’s Pole Studio did another amazing job at hosting this extreme competition, where the best Australian female pole dancers gather to out-dance... Read More

Where Did the Mini Cube Come From?

        Guest Post by Nadia Shariff   The Mini Cube idea came to life because I am a YouTube addict and I was inspired by watching hand balancing acts, so I had a friend weld me a cube based off of a drawing I made. Once the cube was completed, I started practicing hand balancing and contortion inspired skills with, in, on and around the cube. I loved the look of it but I felt a bit restricted since my handstands are not as great as I’d like them... Read More

The Art of Pole – How To Take Great Pole Dance Photos

Guest post by Dean Marzolla   As a professional photographer, I’ve worked at very high levels within newspapers, magazines and TV. Worked with countless celebrities, top models and shot in many locations around the world, and still I feel the enchantment of pole ever present.   Many are lured to watching pole for the skimpy outfits and the imaginative positions of talented women, though there is so much more about pole that can be captured in a photo. Seductive it... Read More
