Daughter of Hulk Hogan and reality TV star Brooke Hogan may not know who Sarah Pailin, or even who the Vice President of the United States and she has been receiving some flack for that. She presents a show called Brooke Knows Best and on last night’s episode she and her mum took a pole dancing class.
Brooke Knows Best features Pole Dancing
She has received some criticism for this but I think it was great. Brooke Knows Best shows Brooke Hogan and her mother Linda trying out a few moves. I think it is great that a show like this feels that pole dancing is out of its taboo enough to show it in a positive light. For me it shows how pole dancing has lost the stigma it once had and now is a sport or dance that anyone can take up. For a couple of pole dancing virgins they pull off some pretty impressive moves.
Well actually this is not Brookes first time on the pole. She added it to a concert she was giving back in March, actually comparing the performance in March with the way she moved on the pole on Brooke Knows Best I’d say it looks like she’s been practicing.

When you are deciding what type of pole buy one of the most important things to think about is what the dance pole is made of. There are two main types of dance pole, Stainless steel and brass.
Each type of pole comes with advantages and disadvantages.
Brass Dance Poles:
These are better suited to beginners as they allow a better grip. They are also useful if you tend to get sweaty palms while dancing as the brass dance pole give more grip.
Stainless Steel Dance Poles:
These are better suited to someone who is not scared of a bit of practice. They are more slippery than the brass dance poles but they do have some advantages once you have mastered them. Stainless steel dance poles build up your strength more as the smoothness requires more muscles to keep your grip. Steel dance poles are also more appropriate if you want to do spins as they will allow for faster spins and movements than a brass dance pole.
A new dance studio in Dunfermline has got off to a great start and is showing that the stigma of pole dancing is becoming a thing of the past.
They were unsure about offering pole dancing lessons at first because of its reputation. Their pole dancing lessons are carried out very tastefully they boast that they even have grannies in their 50s doing it.

Miley Cyrus pole dancing steels the show
This year’s Teen Choice Awards was broadcast on 10th August. It consisted of the awards presentations and had performances from a few young and teen acts.
The performance given by Miley Cyrus that night certainly stole most of the publicity.
She performed her latest single Party in the USA. Halfway through the song she climbed on top of an ice-cream cart and danced against a pole. Now you can see from the video that she certainly wasn’t pole dancing. Sure, she was holding on to the pole, and dancing provocatively, but really I don’t agree with the press criticism that she has received. It looks like she used the pole more for balance and while she was certainly intending to dance with the pole, she was hardly dancing that provocatively.
Some people have drawn parallels with Britney Spears career and her pole dancing back in 2004. Both Britney and Miley Cyrus got their break on the Disney.
It’s believed that as most past Disney stars, Miley now wants to escape from her clean cut image and appeal to a more adult market.
Parents disgusted by pole dancing Disney star
That’s fine of course but unfortunately has left many parents complaining.
Miley Cyrus is a role model for younger girls and parents are not happy that she is starting to adapt an older sexier image and believe that Miley Cyrus pole dancing is unacceptableable behaviour. Parents are also disgruntled about reports that Miley Cyrus’s 9 year old sister was seen pole dancing backstage before the show.
When asked his opinion Miley Cyrus’s father Billy Ray Cyrus said:
“You know what? I just think that Miley loves entertaining people. She loves singing and songwriting.”
Critics of course disapproved of this response and are moaning that pole dancing is getting out of hand and becoming a problem and a dilemma for society.
Why not watch the Miley Cyrus Pole Dancing video yourself and make up your own mind.
