The very first Pole Dancing competition was held in Beijin recently by Luo Lan, whose Lolan Pole Dancing Club has been working hard to promote Pole Dancing all over China.

Luo Lan says pole dancing here has, “nothing to do with sex”. Rather, it is a “healthy and positive” way to exercise, while also improving students’ self-image. Luo aims to “promote pole dancing in China” through this month’s inaugural competition, themed “fitness and fashion”, which is backed by the Asian Bodybuilding Federation. Entrants are encouraged to display their technical skill and “creative flair”.

Over 50 competitors including male dancers participated in the competition.
