Sports dancing on the pole. Paul Dance: Basic dance styles Pole Dance

Stylish philantal of "Pole Dance" in Russian sounds like "Six dance" and no longer looks attractive. The first associations - striptease clubs and cabaret. But the facts say thousands of women are engaged in this sport, and very successfully, in gym and studios, and not on the stage of dubious institutions. In the article - "look from the inside" from the girl who was fascinated by the dances on the pole and found out how many myths appeared around Pole Dance. Get ready to say goodbye!

In Pole Dance, I got for the company with a friend, inspired by her figure, plastic and confident glitter in the eyes.

I imagined it easily soaring around the pole, exquisite and graceful. At the first lesson, I mastered the basic elements of the "twist" and everything ... The story of love and struggle began on, and the struggle on all fronts.

In the collective unconscious, myths live, which inhibit the development of Pole Dance in Russia and negate the personal achievements of women, because they have to look around for public opinion.

Myth 1. Pole Dance is "about striptease" and "vulgarity", And something else is forbidden, carrying out the girls from the cabaret" Berger fouls "or" Moulin Rouge ".

Meanwhile, Pole Dance Sport in 2014 is recognized as an official sport. Championships are held in Russia and around the world.

In 2020, we expect Pole Dance in the Olympic program.

For aesthetics and beauty, a fabulous aura of this sport is labor, discipline, passion - no matter how easily and graceful elements from the side, it is all the incarnation of strength and character.

Myth 2. Too frank suits.

There are a number of requirements for sportswear, and for the Pole Dance form, they are also due to the specifics of some elements. For example, an open waist and sides line - for better clutch with a pylon. For training, a short form of "pajama-home" type will be suitable. But I am sure of you as soon as you enter the taste, then the form will choose bright and stylish. For competitions there are restrictions on the degree of openness, and if, for example, underwear stands out, then the judges take off points that can cost victory.

Myth 3. Classes only for young girls.

This myth is dispelled literally from the very first workouts when you see near women of all ages and all types of figures, and a coach-man arrives at the master class. By the way, according to my observations, the average age of dancers from about 30 to 50 years. At the same time, women (expected in this age category) are burdened with husbands, children and professional success, which does not hinder their sporting achievements at all, and inside the team creates a special atmosphere of female solidarity and friendship.

Myth 4. This is a very painful sport.

Remember the feeling of childhood when you come from the city to the village, you remove sandals and run barefoot on the freshly acted meadow? Koloko, hurt and unpleasant, but you run, because you can not otherwise, and there is another world, understanding, your friends ..., and tomorrow, you have already familiar and not cracker. It's about this way and in Pole Dance: today it hurts and cracker and even with a simple touch of a cold pylon appear bruises, and tomorrow you still run into the class and no longer feel pain.

It is important to listen to the coach and your body, pain can mean both the wrong approach to the element, but when correcting the error it goes.

Myth 5. Need sports training and good stretching.

Need faith in your strength. Little steps in a big sport. As in the first class: someone comes, already knowing how to read and write, and relaxes, and someone hard and perseverance catch up and distilts. What is more important? That's right, internal installation and motivation.

Personally, I do not have the ease that could be imagined, the elements are given through work, but I know the example of women who have revealed congenital ease and grace in themselves. And this is a real gift - know your body and ability, at any age. And good stretching can be a real personal achievement.

What if we get rid of the feeling of guilt? And not justify? The famous phrase "Beauty in the eyes of the watch" emphasizes our mentality, depth of complexes and condemns. How do you come to uncomfortable questions? What is femininity for you, and what is sexuality? What is it expressing? Very often, psychologists will support me, we are talking about internal freedom. We live in a country where it is customary to admire work, fighting suffering, and for it you can get approval. And for beauty and opportunity, even if you drive yourself in a sense of guilt. Imagine true freedom to be a woman where there is no notorious feeling of guilt and excuse. Isn't that a revolution?

Modern directions Pole Dance are divided into 4 species, you can choose and combine:

1. 1. Exotic Pole Dance — Combines plastic, flexibility, absolutely all muscle groups. The chief attribute is the shoes "Streaps", pole, leggings and knee pads. Exotic Pole Dance is directly related to GO-GO elements and sixteen elements on the pylon. Focus on sensual aesthetics, strength and rhythm of the musical composition.
   2. Pole Art. — Combination of sports, choreography and show, theatricality and entertainment. Accent on individuality and expressiveness. Attributes: carefully thought out image, costume, accessories, scenery, game and art - in all senses.
   3. Pole Dance Sport -independent sports direction. The combination of acrobatic elements on pylon, ligaments and transitions. Attributes - sports grounds, certified judges, original sports suit. Focus on strength, endurance, artistry, clean elements.
   4. Pole Dance Fitness - an alternative fitness direction combines the power load, the study of individual elements on the pylon, stretching. The combination of power elements and dance depends on the direction of the Club or Studio. Accent is a comfortable athletic shape, pylon, general physical activity.

I am in Pole Dance almost three and a half years, and throughout this time, some people strongly seek to prove that between my hobbies and striptease, you can also put a sign of equality. Previously, me, of course, it did it, but then I understood: the majority of the dance on the pylon only knows that the pylon is used for him. And with the sixth they are associated what? That's right, striptease.

Under my photos on social networks, more unpleasant comments have appeared more than once, the stereotypical ideas are about the fact that Haldensors are engaged in debauchery, is quite common until now. But, it would seem that Pole Dance had long been out of the shadows and became one of the sports (officially - from October 2, 2017).

I always knew: Haldens - dance, and dancing is art. And I was always fascinated dancing. When I saw that halfdens work, I decided that I also want.

It took about a year so that my "want" went to "do". There were some fears and doubts that, by the way, had other newcomers with whom I communicated. Basically, they were formulated in the form of a phrase "I can't, I have weak hands, weak muscles of the press, not enough good figure, and indeed, what, what, Acrobat?" Doubts disappeared when I saw the number of Olga codes. Then the thought that in any case everything from something starts, took over, and I began to act: I found a school next to the house, I came to a test lesson, all such a small and trembling schoolgirl, enthusiastically looking at experienced dancers that performed Crazy tricks somewhere under the ceiling of the hall.

At the first lesson, I only did that I went around Pilon and tried to master the basic elements for which my level of physical training was clearly not enough. But he did not become - too, I wanted to surprise myself and find out what I was capable. I must say that I surprised. We sometimes even imagine that our body is capable of. I believed that the Visuions and Racks on the hands - the wings of the selected. Now I understand that this is the lot of persistently training.

After a couple of months, I already climbed the pylon without any problems. Under the very ceiling, there was a joy! Six months later, he learned the main tricks. And here's the one who says that Pole Dance is simple, "go to yourself around the pole and slowly take off the clothes," answer: you are wrong (I would have expressed much more sharply).

First, the dance on the pylon does not imply undressing. The exposure of some parts of the body (hands, legs, backs) is allowed solely in order to improve adhesion with a pylon. In other words, in ordinary clothes you simply slide down the smooth steel stick and damage yourself.

But the dancers wear shorts, open tops or swimsuits are not to seduce someone.

Moreover, the rules of various competitions are strictly regulated: how much is allowed to expose the body, what suit can be put on, and what - it is impossible, which width should be a lastrian shorts, etc. Yes, there is a separate direction in Poldens - Pole Exotic - there are not tricks, and choreography, grace, sensuality. However, the total exposure of the body during the speeches is forbidden, which many do not know.

In general, in the history of Pole Dance there are many things that are unlikely to have heard people who are not related to this area. For example, that initially pole, however, wooden, Indians were used as a yoga projectile (XII century), and this discipline of MallAkhambhamb was called ("pole gymnasts"). There was one more, which is already more reminiscent of modern dances on Pilon, - Mallastambha ("Post Gymnasts"). Iron Six used the Indian fighters to train their strength and dexterity. Some sources report that the pylon or pole used in their ritual dangers of women in African and Indian tribes. Previously, he embodied the symbol of the male start, but then the dances had a spiritual aspect from the pole.

For several centuries, Poldens developed only on the circus arena (it exists now). In the second half of the 20th century, the dance on Pilon was seduced. Since the 1990s, he appeared that Pole Dance, which we see now, and this is the merit of Canada Fonne Mandei, who recorded training videos, thanks to which society learned about this dance direction.

Those who think that Haldens - Sports exclusively for girls are mistaken.

The dance direction represents a older woman (famous in this grull Partinell over 60 years old), and men (Winner of the World Championship in Beijing 2015 Dmitry Politov, three-time world champion and Russia Evgeny Surilov) and even children (Emily Moskalenko). Most half days say: the main thing is not the age (gender, profession), the main thing is desire.

In Russia and in the world, speeches very actively to develop sports and improve it; Local and international organizations appear, which pay attention to the promotion of dance-acrobatic and sports disciplines on Pilon, and that the morality of society is striving for their activities, and think now is somehow strange. Once I was lucky to talk with one of the most famous Pole Dance dancers, the 2012 world champion Anastasia Skakhtornova, who admitted that he was not even trying to convince the others, what the difference between her favorite hobby and striptease: "In general, I heard that my videos often Show people to understand the difference themselves. And it is very nice. "

MySlo talked to Victoria Tsybulskaya, which for many years confidently develops in the Tula region Pole Dance as a sports direction.

It all depends exclusively from the person himself, who comes to engage, and on what tasks he puts in front of him, "says Victoria. - Want a dance - there will be a dance to you, but if you get seriously, you can really do professional.

Pole Dance is a young and very democratic sports and dance direction in Russia. As a sport, he is officially recognized in our country yet, and it gives it probably in some sense more freedom to all of the Poldsera. There are different categories, for example, "exot" - this is just about the dance on the high heels (yes, those of which everyone thought), and there is a "sport" - it is already basically different strength tricks.

And in that, and in another case, flexibility is needed, stretching, plastic, but in contrast to many professional sports, Pole Dance is glad to all regardless of age and gender.

Victoria for the formation of the choreographer, graduated from the Orlovsky Institute of Culture, in parallel with study worked in a pop ballet, after his ended in Tula taught in various dance studios.

Pilon in her life came spontaneously: I saw a beautiful video with a girl on Pilon and wanted the same way. Seven years later, she is already a professional athlete and coach, herself and her students - participants and prize-winners of festivals and championships, including Catwalk Dance Festival and Amazing Polechampionship.

This year, she first participated in the Russian Championship Pole Sports Russia 2019, where in the nomination "Sport" ranked fourth.

At first, Pole Dance was more passionate, but, after studying a year, I realized that I really got, but the most important thing is exactly what I want to really do on the professional level.

Having a specialized education, passed additional courses and became the coach. But I was not going to stop at this and constantly studied the video of various elements that the famous Poldensians perform, and tried to repeat them, looking for master classes.

It is pain, these are erased legs, corns, but the end result has always gave satisfaction from what I could and what I learned.

For me personally, Pole Sport (I will call it like this) discovered the whole world of the infinite features of the human body. There was a meaning of the development of his own physical data, while doing so many years choreography, I could not boast of perfect twine and flexibility, and at the age of 25 I had a new meaning for personal development, and subsequently for the development of his students.

Julia Kuznetsova is one of Victoria's students. Came four years ago. Like many, he learned about this sport from acquaintances, "the girlfriend was engaged in Pilon and offered to try.

From the first lesson, I fell in love with Pole Dance and now I can not stop. It is a pity that many still perceive classes on pylon as erotic, striptease, is a terrible word. It is necessary to explain to everyone that this is a sport, steep sport, it is power, endurance, flexibility, that it is not dancing at the pole with undressing.

For me, this is a power sport, I gave me a tightened figure, strength, many exercises I can do better than men who go to the gym.

If we talk about the level of development of this sport in Tula, schools in general quite a lot, but find a truly professional coach, which is constantly developing, finds something new, it was not easy. But in the end I found it, "says Julia Kuznetsova.

Today Pole Dance professionally or just thousands of people are engaged for themselves. The big plus of this sport is that it has no age framework, it is never too late to come.

Today, many prefer Pole Dance classes in fitness clubs. Why? Because at each lesson, when performing elements on the pylon, the load is given to all groups of muscles, in addition to this, flexibility, plastic, stretching are developing. That is, in 1.5 hours of training you get everything that in other cases you can get if you take subscriptions to Pilates, fitness and in the dance studio.

Age and physical training in Pole Dance does not play any role. In the first training, competent studios necessarily include the initial level, OFP, stretching classes, which in turn helps to prepare anyone who came to the upcoming load on the pylon. In general, I can say one thing, to start doing Pole Dance with any level of preparation is not scary, any workouts involve physical activity to which the body accepted with time.

Bright confirmation that Pole Dance has no age barriers - 55-year-old tula . Today she is one of the students Victoria Tsybulskaya. She first came to workout at the Pole Dance group at 51!

I was sent an invitation to a group of one of the schools Pole Dance in the social network. The fact that the pylon rotates, I found out only in the first training. Prior to that, never even heard of this sport, which immediately struck me with his beauty. I was stopped only the age. But, I tried once, I realized that I could fine, although it was not easy.

Today, for me, Pole Dance is primarily a complete reboot, care from stress.

Whatever happens in life, whatever serious problems have fallen, the training makes it disconnect from everything, to completely concentrate on the execution of the trick. After it, you go out with light fatigue in the body, a bright soul and in a good mood. Excellent physical form for me is just an additional bonus. Now I have already developed a kind of dependence, I can't imagine without workouts on Pilon. At the moment I train five times a week, three of them - under the guidance of Victoria Tsybulskaya. Athletes seek to train with those who are stronger, it gives tangible progress. Vika believes in his students, it helps a lot. Each training becomes not just interesting, she becomes exciting, I want to do, come again and again.

A large number of people from 30 and older come to the pylon, and this talks about the availability and popularity of this direction. If we are not talking about sports achievements, but about health training, to improve the physical form, there are no restrictions, only a desire and interest. The uniqueness of Pole Dance is that it is accessible to everyone, at any age and with any physique, men or women, children and adults. Children's Pole Sport is especially developing, a lot of men also choose this sport for themselves.

In fact, this is if you drop stereotypes, very male sport. They have their own set of tricks, in some part close to Vorkuut. It is enough to find on the Internet examples of male speeches at professional Pole Dance competitions, and you will realize that it is really cool, difficult, strongly and exciting.

Despite the fact that Pole Sport is not a formal sport, there are federations worldwide. They hold championships with the aim of recognizing this sport by the official and Olympic, and in any case it is a matter of time, "says Victoria. - For us, athletes and coaches Pole Dance, it is very important to convey to all that the pylon is a sports projectile that has its own standards, a special coating, diameter and height. We train in shorts and tops in accordance with safety technique, since we need skin adhesion with a pylon. Sports on Pilon has no connection with nightclubs, this is a physical work is akin to sports acrobatics.

In Tula in many dance studios today there are classes on Pilon. But how to choose the one where you really teach? First, the studio should have professional equipment - two-phase pylons (static and speaker). Some schools, unfortunately, sin and put an ordinary pipe instead of Pilon, but it is impossible to fully master this sport and understand all its beauty. Secondly, the professionalism of the coach: if he and his students regularly participate in various competitions and festivals, it means that he seeks to be in trend. Today, many schools offer free trial classes to ensure that the new participant can not in words, but to actually understand what Pole Dance is.

- These are dancing on pylon (special six) with elements of acrobatics. Many confuse this direction with striptease, which is wrong. In fact, Pole Dance is a type of fitness and it can be called even a separate sport.

Features Pole Dance

During the executions of the tricks, a sports projectile is used, called the pylon. Pole Dance combines such directions:

• Pole Art. (execution of art tricks, artistic performance, the use of special costumes);
• Pole Sport (pretext is made on complex physical exercises and tricks);
• Exotic Pole Dance (less tricks, more plastics, choreography);
• Pole Fitness (Includes complexes of exercise for the development of both muscles and plastics).

Exercises on pylon are pretty heavy and complex. They can be performed only after long-term preparation and pumping muscles. Without each athlete, acrobatic tricks on the pole are managed, because it is necessary to hang in the air at 1.5-2 m above the floor. The main elements: lifts on the pylon, twist, dance pas, whisa. Pole Dance is constantly improving, new exercises and tricks appear that need to be mastered, that is why this direction becomes so popular, because it does not have to stand still, you can be improved.

Pole Dance Championships

Recently, and more precisely since 2003, the whole championships initiated by Pole Dance began to be held. The sports program consists of three complexes: tricks at the top level of the pilon, on average and at the lowest level. The program of the participant should include both acrobatics and plastic elements. Transitions between tricks must be clean, the elements are necessarily interconnected. The jury pays great attention to small details: bending back, straight knees, elongated socks.

In many professional competitions, it is forbidden to use clothing from leather or latex and strip dancers shoes. The costume should not carry erotic orientation. Apply moisturizing oils with sparkles on the skin is not recommended, as this may cause. Do not bare a body. Intimate gestures and erotic poses are also prohibited. Such restrictions are entered in order to separate Pole Dance from striptease and emphasize not for sexuality, but athleticity. In most cases, competitions are held among girls, but there are also male groups.

The passion for many athletes precisely Pole Dance led to the fact that international organizations uniting lovers of this type of acrobatics were created. Now considers the question of including Pole Dance in the list of Olympic Sports.

Greetings to all readers of my blog! We already know how the pole dance is called (), and today I will tell you about the direction of dance Pole Dance - Pole Sport and its features.

Dancing on the pole - what are the references in the dance

Each of you, in search of a response about what is called the dance on the pole, finds out that Pole Dance has several directions. And the novice athlete, making his first successes, wonders to what style of himself.

Sometimes it is very sad to observe how novice dancers, in an attempt to imitate the success of others, put on other people's images and styles. Copying idols crosses its own individuality and uniqueness, not allowing talent to be manifested in all its glory.

Paul Dance is a young direction in dancing, there is no hard framework and borders in it, it develops naturally, the style rules in it form the dancers themselves are power and passion, plasticity and grace. So the directions of Pole Art, Exotic Pole Dance and Pole Sport appeared.

It is very important to choose a direction close to the dancer in which you can reveal yourself by moving out music and dance, form your own style.

Pole Sport (Gender Sports) - Six Acrobatics in Paul Dance

Pole Sport (Floor Sport), Six Acrobatics or Pole Acrobatic - This direction characterizes complex acrobatic tricks. The main emphasis in Pole Sport goes for strength, endurance and flexibility. Participants in this category perform the program, the main components of which are:

• acrobatic composition;
• elements on a static pylon;
• elements on a spinning pylon;
• dance in the parter.

The elements performed in the parter are mostly inextricably linked with a pylon. Participants require high execution technique, the ability to perform acrobatic tricks connected in one long chain without intermediate tapping of the floor, the integrity of the composition, in which there is a clear start and completion. Transitions between pylons should fit into the overall picture of the dance, as well as have acrobatic design.

One of the common mistakes of athletes preparing their first programs for performances is the saturation of the program with complex tricks. I urge you to abandon excessive soothing: be prudent and sequentially - use only those elements in the dance, in the ideal version of which you are sure.

In the direction of Pole Sport, there are clear requirements for the presence and number of elements of various groups - for stretching (twine), flexibility, jumping elements, coups, power tricks, cliffs, rotation and twist. When assessing an athlete, the technique of execution of tricks, their combination (ligaments), as well as choreography, artistry and integrity of the image are taken into account.

Often in the direction of Pole Sport in the competition rules clearly negotiate certain requirements that affect the assessment (not compliance with the requirements leads to the accrual of penalty points):

• the number of elements in the bundle (both on a static and spinning pylon);
• the number of tours of the floor;
• the number of times when the athlete can completely release the pylon.

I note that the men's nomination is equal to the feminine. Men's athletes should also
Demonstrate the ability to perform elements of various groups connected to the ligaments, while maintaining the integrity of the image. Difference - in the male nomination the more stringent requirements listed above are presented.

The direction of Pole Sport (Pole Acrobatic) is distinguished by restraint - there are no special requirements for shoes, but it is forbidden to use details, as well as remove parts of the costume during dance. The execution of complex acrobatic elements determines the requirements for the appearance of the participant - the hair is removed, the absence of not woven elements hairstyles, from jewelry - carnation earrings, clothing - top and shorts or sports swimsuit.

However, it is not necessary to think that Pole Sport is available only to the prepared athletes - minimal physical training and desire to dance: That's all you need to be a beginning Polonistist, everything else will come in training. Of course, you will not make some complex tricks, everything needs time. Already quite soon, having understood the first elements and ligaments, you can show your first dance.

If you want to perform at competitions and achieve success, my advice to you - in addition to Pilon, let yourself use additional loads - attend the gym, workout on a complex stretching. Also alternate physical workouts with cardio loads. It will develop in you the endurance needed to withstand the load when performing the competition program, as well as add the dance of lightness and grace.

How to dance best dance, or one success story in nomination Pole Sport

In today's article, I prepared for you an interesting video performance athlete in the style of Pole Sport at the All-Russian Pole Star Championship, Samara 2016. I witnessed the birth and evolution of this athlete. It was a long and difficult way: the origin of the idea, the creation of the image, the selection of the musical composition, the change in the mood and the constant search "itself", regular workouts and power loads - all this I saw with my own eyes. And as a result - the victory over himself and the amazing view, which affects the depths of the soul: technical, complex, holistic, artistic performance, causing my delight.

You can become so good as you want.
The main thing is to work hard and believe in yourself.

This is just indescribable emotions when you are worried about each participant as for yourself. Anna, I repeat once again: I am mad at this number, revealed and the work of your coach.

Pole Sport - Choosing Dance Direction

To achieve good results, it is very important to choose the right direction. Solving, in what style you want to dance, listen to yourself, to your body. Think that you are closer: Artistic Pole will require artistry, the ability to transfer the created image through the dance. Exotic Pole - for flexible, plastic and passionate. If you are rapidly and hardy, you can perform a trick for a trick throughout the dance - Pole Sport your destination. Each dancer, an athlete is unique: someone plastic and restrained, someone is active and hardy, so choose the direction on the basis of your data, then you will achieve real heights.

Whatever direction you have chosen - do not forget that Paul Dance is a dance, and the music of it is: acrobatic tricks should be concisely intertwined with the dance melody. Learn to feel the music and transmit its energy with your body.
