What's in the Pole World News Wednesdays: Pole Fitness in the Olympics?

Aloha Pole Lovers & Supporters!

We all know either from our own experience or word of mouth that Pole Fitness is not only a great and fun way to get your fitness on but can also be very rigorous and intense at times depending on what your goals are and if you are a competitor.  You may or may not have heard but there are talks of getting Pole Fitness in the Olympics!!!  We as Pole Dancers for fitness and Pole Dance Supporters know why this has been suggested but the rest of the world doesn't understand why anyone would even suggest it simply because they are stuck with the image of pole dancing only in strip clubs.  Day by day, whether or not we are trying to, we are all spreading the word about Pole Dancing for Fitness and changing the majorities thought of it.  Keep doing what you are doing and slowly but surely the minds of all the majority will change and everyone will know just why and how Pole Fitness could stand a chance in the Olympics if you are or are not a supporter of Pole Fitness as an Olympic Sport:)  If you compare the other gymnastic sports in the olympics to Pole Fitness you will see just how similar they really are.  Read more about what's in the news for Pole Dancing as an Olympic sport by going to these 2 links:

International Pole Convention Recap!!!

We can sum up our first time International Pole Convention experience in one word......... AWESOME!!!!  It was so great to see so many people who share our love for pole dancing in one place having a great time together!  If you are new to pole, been poling for a while, a pole addict or interested in pole dancing the International Pole Convention is definitely something you should invest in,  because regardless of where you are in your pole dancing it will benefit you in a lot of different ways:)!  There are many pole workshops ranging from beginner to advanced, informational workshops that will benefit a pole dancer, vendors and booths with SO many products for pole, demos, non-pole workshops, performances and not to mention great parties and the Showcase of the Stars!!!


Not only was this our first International Pole Convention but this was also the launch of our Just Pole Retail Line which was a major success thanks to our new friends we met at the Pole Convention!  We met people from all over the world and through the appreciated craziness at our booth we were able to get some photos with our new friends:)

Not only were we able to meet people from all over the world who share our passion for pole but we were also able to meet some Polefessionals!!!!!!!!  Not only were they down to take a photo with us but they were all so sweet which made them ten times more awesome than we already thought they were!!

Owner Pi`ilani & Steven Retchless

Steven Retchless was a sweetie and his workshop was great!  Started with a fun and sexy warm-up which lead to lessons on his signature moves and ended with a relaxing and sexy cool down.  Overall, the workshop was a sexy and fun learning experience;)!

Pi`ilani & Jenyne Butterfly

Jenyne Buterfly!!!  She had FREE workshops all weekend to share her love for pole as well!  Since her free workshops were very popular and free we were unable to make any of them but heard nothing but great compliments on how helpful she was during the workshop:)

Amy Raven & Pi`ilani

Amy Raven was such a sweethart as well as an awesome Polefessional that we can't wait to see again!

Pi`ilani & Natasha Wang

Natasha Wang honored us all with a bunch of performances throughout the weekend which were almost as amazing as she is:)

Felix Cane & Pole Addict Jamie:)

Felix Cane was so adorable and more than amazing!  Her workshop was filled with laughter, a lot of helpful advice for form, flexibility, pole strengthening and technique!  She was extremely helpful with her signature moves like the Spatchcock and was great about providing visual explanation on everything:)

Jamie & Alethea Austin

Alethea Austin was workin' it when she rocked her showcase performance and workshops with an injury to her rib!  That's a hardcore Polefessional right there!

We met so much Polefessionals and new friends that helped make our first time even better!  There are more pictures on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/justpolefitness.  If you have not already please Like our page so we can keep you up to date with pole news, event photos, new retail and more!

This was a great experience for us all at Just Pole and it may sound cheesy but it was life changing too!  We learned so much from everything we experienced and all the awesome people we meet that only pushed us more to all reach our goals individually and as a team!  Only you have the power to make it happen so get out there and do it!

As Cleo The Hurricane would say it, Rock, Love & Pole ;)
