Bei Lee Tom sieht Pole Dance so einfach aus von BZ

Pole Dance so einfach

Lee Tom (24) wurde Ballett zu langweilig, jetzt trainiert sie Pole Dancing. Dafür muss sie gewaltige Kräfte aufbringen.

Pole Dance, das Tanzen an der Stange (englisch „pole“), hat eigentlich etwas Verruchtes. In düsteren Strip-Klubs tanzen auf der ganzen Welt Damen, um lasziv Männerbörsen zu erobern.

 

Es gibt aber auch Menschen, die aus Leidenschaft stangentanzen. So wie Lee Tom (24), die seit Juli 2014 in Berlin lebt. Sie hat sich in ihre Wohnung an der Silbersteinstraße in Neukölln ein kleines Tanzstudio mit zwei Stangen gebaut, an denen sie hart trainiert und auch Unterricht gibt.

At the age of 8 she joined a Vietnamese dance group based in Berlin and performed at various events (e.g. Karneval der Kulturen). She then moved on to dance Hip Hop for a year and paused to focus on school and college after. During her studies in 2015 she randomly stumbled upon a pole dancing video and immediately looked up pole classes not knowing how much this step will change her life.

She now focuses more on how to improve as an instructor in order to provide a safe space for everyone who joins her classes.

Luigi

Luigi is an Italian pole dance coach, teacher and performer. As a child he studied classical ballet in Bergamo and ever since he has been interested in mastering body expression techniques.

He has been practicing Ashtanga yoga for years, working on both flexibility and acrobatic movements. Additionally he studied contortion techniques with Sofia Venanzetti as well as acrobatics in the Gymnastics school of Treviolo in Northern Italy.

Luigi discovered pole dance in 2016 and it was love at first sight. Soon after this, he became a pole instructor and, after winning multiple national and international competitions, he became one of the members of the Italian Pole Sport National team.He also mastered the flying pole (a Chinese pole suspended on the ceiling) and performed with it in the aerialist circus company “Acrovertical.”

Luigi teaches pole sport techniques, contemporary pole movements and dynamic/acrobatic transitions on the pole.

“Art is a powerful form of expression. In my life, I often couldn’t find the right words to express my deepest emotions. Pole dance gives me the freedom to really be myself, by helping me to find the strength to cope with my fears. As a teacher, I like to enable my students to overcome their limits, discover new skills and polish flowing moves, without ever forgetting that it is a way to express ourselves.”

Maria

Maria has recently joined the PFB team as a pole dance instructor and is happy to share her passion with her students.

“I fell in love with movement when I experienced firsthand the mental and physical benefits of working out. In 2017 my passion drove me to start a Fitness and Health Youtube channel, which allowed me to broaden my knowledge through content creation and research. Curiosity kept me learning about new forms of movement until I finally tried Pole Dance in 2018, and I was hooked immediately. Imagine coming from a very repressive, conservative, chauvinistic country and suddenly stepping into a place where nobody is shamed, where sensuality is celebrated, diversity is honored, and also… people are STRONG AF!!! I was in awe!

Since that day, pole dancing has been helping me connect with my body, reject old belief systems and reframe my own ideas of sensuality, sexuality, and freedom.

I got the opportunity to become a teacher in 2021, and I feel blessed to provide that same safe and encouraging space for others to get stronger, shine bright, and enjoy movement.”

Trisha

Trisha is a professional pole dancer and teacher, originating from Bavaria and since 2022 based in Berlin.

‘’I started my dance journey as a kid taking ballet lessons. My ballet journey lasted roughly 10 years and built the base of my movement as of today. After all those years I got sick of the rigid rules of ballet and wished to explore more. After finding Daria Che on Instagram in 2018 I started taking pole lessons in Munich, where I was based. It started as a hobby but quickly with the love for pole turned into a profession.

Since then I have developed my skills in heels, spinning pole and static flow/ static rotation. I have taken classes with highly skilled trainers such as Estefania Jimenez, Marion Crampe, Lorenza Perrone and of course Daria Che as well. Now I am excited to share my knowledge with my students. I love to focus on details, instead of wild tricks and complicated shapes. I love to keep it playful yet clean and accurate, even with the most basic climbs. Let’s explore and play with the details. I can’t wait to dance with you!’’

Christina

Chrisitina comes from a smalltown in southern Indiana and since a few years has been based in Berlin as a pole, movement & flexibility trainer.

‘’My first connection to movement was through gymnastics. I fell in love with acrobatics, but after moving away my movement journey soon changed to sports and later on, to dance. I started with Latin dance and later, pole dance.

I got into pole because I wanted to feel more in touch with myself and my body. I wanted the confidence pole dancers have and the idgaf-what-you-think-about-me attitude. Plus the combination of body + mind +sensuality + strength captivated me.

I love teaching poles because it’s empowering. It allows for our bodies to be this creative work of art that we’re free to move and mold as we please. It lifts physically and mentally and I love seeing students leave my class glowing.’’

Seliquere

Seliquere, Latin for “to be fluid”, lives up to her name by oozing across the floor, up and down the pole, and into your heart. She combines flowy and drippy movement with high-energy bursts of fun and dynamics. 

With a movement background in dance, gymnastics, and acrobatics, and a theoretical background in physiology, anatomy, and kinesiology, Seliquere places great importance on understanding the interaction between our body (muscle, bone, tendon, ligaments) and the movement we create. She emphasizes safety and longevity when it comes to dancing, and hopes all her students can continue to create beautiful art for decades to come. 

You’ll find lots of enthusiasm, texture enunciation, and fluidity in her class, as well as a safe place to explore new movements, make mistakes, and ask questions. A proud member of the queer community, Seliquere asserts that pole, sensual movement, and dancing is for everybody, every gender identity, and every sexual orientation. There is no greater joy than authentic self-expression, and she hopes you can find that joy with her during class.

It opened doors to a new world, such as the world of aerial arts and circus arts in general. Amissa is very driven to live their life exploring movement in its broadest sense. They are always eager to learn more and more!
