In Australia, pole dancing classes for under 12’s have taken off in recent years. “We need to be very cautions of imposing adult ideas on young girls,” said Professor Lumby. They enjoy gymnastics and the big danger here is that maybe it’s the adults who are sexualising them rather than them sexualising themselves.” “Pre-teen girls love dancing, mucking around and showing off. I did my own form of pole dancing, improvised around a Hills hoist when I was eight years old,” quipped Professor Lumby. “We know we need to encourage young girls to exercise. On the other hand, Professor Catharine Lumby from Macquaire University says that pole dancing is increasingly seen as a legitimate form of exercise.
“Surely these feed child predator’s fantasies?” “The slow-mo crotch-cam type shots in the promotional video for Gympole do make me feel uncomfortable,” said Miller. Parenting author and teen girl educator, Dannielle Miller said that adults should not view innocent childish play through a sexualised lens, or shame girls or women based on clothing choice, but still had concerns with the production elements of the advertisement. It helps to take away the negative associations that society has, while showing it is a fun and good sport.” These girls are innocently having fun and have no idea that men may be getting off on this,” wrote one commentator on Facebook.īut others defended the advertisement saying “it makes me happy to see this commercial done with children. “Pole dancing originated in strip clubs and men - rightly - associate pole dancing with sexual arousal. According to the company, “we just wanted to promote juniors in pole sports as we think they are super talented”.īut others have accused the company of unnecessarily exploiting children in advertising and “feeding into a paedophile culture.”
