Pole Fitness in the Olympics?
After a great deal of feedback from the Pole Dance community, many of us have decided that it is about time pole fitness is recognized as a competitive sport and what better way for recognition than to be part of the 2012 Olympics held in London! Pole & Body, together with Vertical Dance and Labfitness would like you to sign our Olympic Petition! Like the horizontal bar, the vertical bar should have a place in international competitive sport. We believe that, like Rhythmic Gymnastics, the Horizontal Bar, and Figure Skating, that Pole Dance/Vertical Dance is acrobatic, gymnastic, technical and takes a great deal of physical skill and strength to master, earning it a place in the greatest sporting event in the world. Over 50 countries worldwide take part in lessons, workshops, conventions, competitions, exposés, and teacher training. This is an international sport that both men, women and those that are on a low income can take part in, unlike sports such as horse riding, sailing and snow based sports. This is by no means a fad or a trend. Pole dance is here to stay. Please come together to sign our petition to lobby the International Olympic committee to have pole dance as a test sport for the 2012 Olympics held in London. They have just introduced BMX biking as an official sport, so why not Vertical Dance?
