Stripping on Pole

    In the last few years, I've noticed more and more dancers stripping on the pole. Of course, taking the top off on the pole is old hat and not very interesting or hard to do.

     

    However, taking the bottom off while holding onto the pole with your legs is much more interesting. Some dancers do it so fast, it literally looks like a magic trick. The bottoms that are not tied are obviously harder to do this with but I've seen it done. I think the first time I saw it was a few years ago in Vegas, but saw it more recently at the Main St. Deja Vu.

     

    Anybody else see this going on?

     

    If you're a dancer and can do this, and don't mind giving up the secret, how is it done?

    I can do it... I'd give up my secret but I don't even know how to explain it, and I've had girls watch me over and over and still never be able to pick it up... I'm the only girl I've ever seen do it for years now... I do it really fast and I guess it does look like magic... I'd like to see the other girl that does it... I wonder if my "trick" made the circuit or if by chance we both "made up" the same trick or maybe it's completely different all together...

    I wonder if any dancer has ever tried to patent a dance move. Normally, you cannot patent artwork but this could be ruled a business process because that is now patentable. Since this "process" makes you money, it might work.

    Once thing for sure. If a dancer were to try to patent a dance move as a business process, you would be on the news regardless of if your patent is accepted or not.

    The best pole dancing Ive seen is at Jumbo's. No any particular athletic trick, but the whole artistry and many beautiful moves made to look easy.

    I saw Brazil at Bay Girls drop her bottom while hanging on the pole with just her hands. I think the hard part was getting the bottom past the high heel platform shoes.

    I don't remember ever seeing this done.
