oh to be so good at something I love so much...


RhiannanNichole has great moves and really good taste in music. This video features "Friction" by Morcheeba.

OK, so I just discovered that pole dancing is big on Youtube. Yeah, it's sexy. So what, all dancing is actually pretty sexy. Pole dancing is really incredibly well suited to Youtube self expression for a number of reasons. An individual is able to perform an extremely athletic and demanding form of dance in a very small and limited space. The static camera placement on a tripod has the effect of really showing off the specifics of the movement, and the one-take unedited performance is completely unforgiving of anything short of athletic and artistic perfection. The performance is real and anyone who is attempting to do this will not be able to fake it! That's a good incentive for a dedicated performer to put in the time needed to overcome gravity and master the art of pole dancing.

It also seems empowering to women for a number of reasons, the most obvious one being that it's probably not a good idea for guys to try this for health and safety reasons.
