CULTURE: Flashmob Pole Dancing Anyone?

by Blogbot





Subway trains come fitted with the perfect poles for dancing – and an inbuilt audience – so it’s almost churlish not to make use of the facilities at hand.

The girls in the video above take busking to a whole new level on New York’s underground, though the financial reward for this performance was far greater than the meagre tips they earned. Shot back in 2007, the video won a $10,000 prize from the now defunct Darejunkies.com/.

The site may be no more, but we feel its legacy of taking pole dancing to the people should live on – though perhaps the lap dancing which can be seen around 1:13 and 2:34 may be taking things a little too far (purely from a practical point of view, since sweaty seat issues could be rather unpleasant for subsequent commuters).

Anyhow, anyone up for a spot of flashmob pole dancing on LACMTA’s Red Line? The only downside we can see – as evdienced by this video – is that more than a few people may purposely miss getting off at their stop.

No linkie?

If we had subways, I would totally do this!

How come this never happens on the subway when I ride it?

The trolley.

Just tell me when you would be doing this on the trolley so I can photograph/watch both the dancing and the faces of the people riding the trolley. haha best flashmob ever!

The public response during rush hour would not have been as positive.

And never ever touch the floor of a subway car with any body part except your well-shod feet unless wearing a bio-hazard suit.
