Pole dancing is tough muscle straining work to look elegant and dainty, so we at EAF solute the sport and dedicate our Tuesday’s post to them.

Doing that write up on Miss Pole Dance World, inspired EAF to declare today EAF’s Shimmy, Shake and now Gyrate Tuesday (catchy don’t you think? Well we think so, so you just be nice and nod your head in agreement)

So you know Japan’s in on the pole dancing, but where else in shy conservative Asia has the pole piled its addiction into? Try China, Hong Kong (yes I know this constitutes China as well) and Manila!

It’s the hip new fitness regime that have the women from all wakes of life dropping their frumpy old track suits in favour of trendy spandex shorts and tops. Forget the treadmills and praises for thigh master machines because only thing you’re going to hear is the sensual beat of music, pole dancing patrons shimmy up and down their pole on.
