Pole dance as olympic discipline? "Yes"
Numer of supporters grows everyday
29-year-old Mai Sato from Japan is a world champion. Is just as focused on the competition and worthy of representing her country as competitors for the Olympic. And so she is training intensively. But the she will not go to the Olympic Games...
...because dance on the tube is not Olympic discipline. It is time to change! - Sato said. A similar view is shared by thousands of people around the world. Number of national and international federations, bringing together dancers is growing steadily - what was once entertainment, quickly turns into a real sports discipline.
- I dream of an Olympic gold medal - says Sato. But it will not be easy. Cricket and Squash dropped from the list of Olympic sports, baseball and softball as well. A dance on the pole is not even recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the sports discipline!
But this does not discourage enthusiasts, the um ... ''sport''. It's just a matter of time - says Anne Przeplasko from Hong Kong, founder of the International Federation of Pole Dance.
There will come a day when poledance will arrive to the Olympics as a sport. Olympic community must pay attention to the growing number of people dancing on the pole - she says.
It is already a bit too late for the Olympic Games in 2012, but maybe at the Olympics in London will be present, as competition in the form of ''test'' and officially - for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. A petition in this case have been already signed up about 4 thousand people.
But even some of the dancers are in doubt. Do the poledance will not lose your sensual nature, and all the subtext, if it is ''cleared'' for the Olympic discipline? Will it be the same without pins, horny audience and red lights point? And, how to award points for sexiness?
There are also voices that younger stretched and fitted to the limit, literally sweep the stage of the older generation. - I see no need to make the poledance Olympic discipline. I do not think we should go this way - says Wendy Traskos, co-founder of the American Federation of Dance on the pipe.
But even for her, medal for the dancers did not seem as unrealistic as it was five years ago. Still much has to change, but who knows ...
