Incredible strength, amazing flexibility, mesmerizing fluidity...and those *lines* ... This is the best combination of ballet, gymnastics, and raw power I've ever seen.

[@seeamerica1]

agreed

[@Veronica.John10-10]

I came on here to say the same thing but in far less graceful words. Such a perfect combination of body and soul!

[@kaylathurmond955]

You took the word right out of my mouth. ❤

[@Veronica.John10-10]

There's almost a figure-skating component to it as well!

[@ATHENA2O12]

i think i saw a bit of ice skating in there too!

[@JustTanya.]

This performance is really why I started watching these videos because of dancers like her. This was the most skilled, talented, emotional routine I've seen on this channel. She is the epitome of this type of dancing and why I think it should become more mainstream. The stigma of pole dancing needs to go away. This routine shows that pole dancing and the dancers are not just for strip clubs. These are formal trained dancers who enjoy this medium to express their talent and technique. So beautifully done by Pure Grace, definitely of my favorite routines I've seen yet.

[@andreyagarcia7061]

Hi! Do you know her name please?

She's dancing in a different style, exotic hard is straight up strip club moves, the bump and grind. Many types of pole dancing, so this would not really be something a strip club would demand as a skill set but if she can do this I guarantee she can do exotic.

[@JustTanya.]

@Mike Grover LOL I have never been to a strip club so I'll take your word for that. I have seen some of these dancers on this channel doing the exotic dancing that you would see at strip clubs and it's amazing the balance to not only be strong and powerful on the control to climb and hold on to the pole but they also have to do it in a sexy way that makes it seem easier than it really is. I have absolutely nothing against those who work in strip clubs. Quite the opposite really. Some of them are brillant in not just dancing but intelligence but school and life is not cheap and they need to do what they can with what options are available. I just think the stigma of pole dancing needs to go away as something cheap and dirty. Whether it's for competitions like this channel or in a strip club down the street, those who can dance like this should be celebrated as dancers not "strippers". It's not even close to the same thing.

[@alast7692]

I'm in shock and awe from the control, power, and like her name says, pure grace. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

great music choice too - lovely.

[@user-wt1pe7gk7j]

It is absolutely amazing...incredibly beautiful, graceful and VERY, VERY talented...My respect to you, wonderful lady!

Definitely not just a gift, she worked hard for it!

[@bettinab.8660]

It's so great to see that a lot of people understand, that pole dancing a really hard sport too, and not just some stripping... I'm pole dancing too, I've started it 2 years ago and I'm in love with it ❤️ It helped me with my anxiety and low-self esteem, it boosted my confidence. The only thing that is bad about it, that some people think that I want to be a stripper... (I have nothing against that, they learnt pole dancing too) When they ask about it I get excited, and start to tell them about it. Well my friends can understand, but others...oh boi. They see erotic stuff in everything which is pole dance, they can't see the beauty of it. They ask that if it's a real sport, than why it's not in the Olympics..ridiculous. Gymnastics are showing skin too and they need flexibility and strength just like pole dancers do, but while gymnastics are awesome and gorgeous, pole dancing is erotic. (no offense, gymnastic are awesome) Omg, I had a looooot to say, I'm sooo sorry😂❤️ If I made mistakes I'm sorry, English is not my first language. Hope there will be a few people who actually read this...😶 Sorry guys, bye bye ~

[@darrylsmith452]

Just so you know, I read it all! Your English is very good, you only made a few mistakes, but only very little ones, so well done! I hope you can enjoy your sport for many, many years to come! Have a great day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Everything is hot when it's well done. #sexyjazz #eroticcupstacking #gayforforkliftdrivers

[@vixxcelacea2778]

I think the issue is that people think that sexy pole dancing is cheap garbage. The world, and especially some countries have extremely damaging views about sexual nature. I see nothing wrong with watching this and seeing both beauty and strength, but also thinking that it's hot. Dynamic movement and power and agility are hot to most people. And the fact that we as a society think that if it can be construed as sexual or sensual in anyway cheapens it is gross. Nothing wrong with a person showing off their body and displays of athletic prowess at the same time. if you find it hot, that's fine, if you don't and you just appreciate the talent and aesthetic, that's fine too. Neither version should cheapen or strengthen the reality of a person defying gravity and using their muscles in order to create a fluidity of motion that is always entertaining to watch, regardless of why they are doing it. Erotic, awesome, shocking, all of it should be considered with a reverence for what is actually being accomplished, regardless of the flavor it comes in. Same goes for gymnastics, belly dancing, ice skating etc. None of it is cheap or shameful and it's infinitely said that people think that way.

[@roohi06]

You are awesome and I am so proud of you for putting your point so gracefully. It seems like English is your first language because you did an excellent job expressing yourself. Lots of love and Goodluck with your pole dance.

[@Semiotichazey]

The paradox of youtube: pole dancing videos will have tons of supporting and intelligent comments by women extolling the grace and athleticism of the performer, and women's track and field clips are flooded with the most creeptastic comments by skeevy dudes. That aside...I have to say I'm always impressed by the talent of high level pole dancers such as this. Amazing stuff. And yeah, they're also quite gorgeous.

[@TJ-lu1eb]

This is easily the most beautiful performance of any type I've seen this week. Her strength and control are off of the charts. Wow.

Now this is art. Best pole dancer that I have ever seen ! Such grace combining ballet and gymnastic skills . As a Martial Art Instructor I would venture to say that she has Martial Arts background, if not she should consider it. Very graceful and strong.

[@ezyrdr5837]

To have such soft skin and not have blisters everywhere is a talent in itself in this profession!! Wonderful performance!! Hope the very best for this talented lady!!

[@mariavictoriamolleja5374]

How r u going? Are you still dancing?

[@IconProduction01]

Yup, found myself saying wow out loud many times throughout this performance, just like many other commenters have been saying here as well. She's so in shape and in tune with the exact capabilities of her own body that it makes for a very athletic and different type performance to witness vs. ladies who lack that level of core and upper body strength. My favorite part was at 1:10 with the little extra 360 spin she added at the end of that one handed leg flair spin move. All the ladies that do these performances seem to love busting out that one armed move where you spin around the pole facing the audience and flair your legs out, and admittedly that is a dope looking move every time you see it but since it's used so often it was refreshing to see such a cool additional spin added to it as well to make her execution of it stand out that much more. Anyways, the entire performance was amazing but yea that little series of moves at 1:10 blew me away on the first watch through.

[@onaremle3882]

i can't remember how many times i watched this video. Her name suits her performance cause I can clearly see that the pole itself is dancing with her. i love it😊😊
