Kristian Lebedev - RUSSIA - World Pole Dance Championships - Beijing, China

[@nellymalone2802]

Pole dancing needs to be in the olympics...guaranteed more people would watch

[@miticaBEP07]

Skateboard was recently admitted, just give it a while.

[@ImaSpeck2011]

First male pole dancer I've seen. If more men became vertical gymnasts then this really would go to the Olympics. Good job Kristian.

[@ТатьянаДождева-ф8й]

+Ima Speck Is Good Jod have Olympics and for you?

[@ТатьянаДождева-ф8й]

+Ima Speck За что и ратуем. Красота же, сила, и зимой и летом.

[@ImaSpeck2011]

+Татьяна Дождева Yes, it would be suited to both. I think it is possible that it could become an Olympic sport but the name would have to be changed before it would ever be considered. I don't know about other countries but here most people associate pole dancing with strippers, hookers and sleazy bars--not the beauty, agility & gracefulness that it really it....do you think it could become an Olympic sport someday?

[@asianboy8969]

Ima Speck sorry to burst your bubble but it really is for erotic dancing. It started as that and still is, however over time in some cases it is used in a non erotic situations. “During the 1920s, dancers introduced pole by sensually gyrating on the wooden tent poles to attract crowds.” Pulled directly from online. It is associated with strippers...because that’s how it started and that’s how it still is.

[@jasminevaliente96]

Kinda sad it would take men doing it for it to be taken seriously but I think you're right

[@mintgreensandra8772]

It's funny how people juge him so negative while they probably couldn't even do half as good as him...

[@heathert5455]

True, I wish that I had that kind of strenght.

[@no-trick-pony]

You don't have to be able to do what the person you judge can. You don't have to be able to paint like Picasso to judge his works in depth. You probably need a deep understanding of painting techniques and art history though to completely understand the value and quality of his works. Which most people probably don't have (but judges here for example should have). But even if you don't have those qualities you will still have an opinion on whether or not you like a painting/performance/whatever. And if you don't voice your opinion like the biggest douchebag in history that's totally fine.

[@roccofitel8970]

His routine is just infinitely a cringe fest. He's got the talent but his choreography is straight garbage. A grown ass man playing pretend roman poledancing spartan!? Like dude...it reeks of, "Im not over compensating I swear"

[@mikeserds2333]

@@roccofitel8970 it’s called a show performance

[@roccofitel8970]

@@mikeserds2333 For who? 9 year old boys?

[@drfrankenstein3556]

Not everyone will be happy with what they see. I personally think the guy is very talented. His expression of pole dancing is quite different than the norm. Don’t knock him. It takes incredible stamina and strength to perform this.

[@xSayPleasex]

Very strong especially his core strength. I would have liked to see some expression of flexibility as well. I don't recall even seeing anything like basic splits.

[@cat52]

This was an amazing performance!! I would live to see this in the Olympics!!

[@petarnikolov4119]

This is serious sport...extreme strength

[@flyingcatwoman]

Well done Kristian, pole warrior!!

[@ruthc382]

It was sick when he finally got into the actual pole dancing

[@gan5045]

Inspirational. I'm a male dancer and I don't include the submissive female style in my dance. I especially enjoyed the bodybuilders flex and the martial arts feel. Thank you for helping to masculinize the art and paving the way for other male dancers.

[@Olivia-rh1jk]

You sound like an asshole

[@gan5045]

@@Olivia-rh1jk Because when I dance I don't like to feminize my choreography? I always thought asshole's were negative people with no sense of appreciation.

[@8jaime8]

Not sure I would equate female dancers with submission. The vast majority of female pole dancers I’ve seen are warriors - powerful and gutsy - no submissive vibes at all. This dancer had a less fluid and flexible style than female dancers do, which gave a more masculine vibe - but being graceful doesn’t equal submissiveness. In any case, I really like that he stayed masculine. It’s very rare. All the other male pole dancers a I’ve seen have had a very effeminate style.

[@gan5045]

I was thinking more of the male dancers I've seen. A lot are of a softer style. I really appreciate all kinds of styles but in my experience watching male dancers, this performance is a rarity. @@8jaime8

[@Faith-lh5ti]

Oh this is a SHOW. Damn he SERVED. This is so cool!

[@Kitty83Miss]

Wowww nice pole work!!... Kristian Lebedev is defently my favorite male pole dancer...such strenght and yet so stunning looking...i love it!!! My biggest respect!! 🙇‍♀️🤩👏💯😍

[@arfriedman4577]

A lot.of strength needed for pole dancing. This man is graceful too and expressive.

[@fussyrodah]

HIS STARFISH!!!! That was amazing

[@ТатьянаДождева-ф8й]

Когда увидим на Олимпийских играх такое чудо? Мастерство, сила, зрелищность и изящность?

[@thatpianistmoth]

While he showed physical strength, I much prefer the refinement and elegance of pole dancers like Peter Holoda.

[@arfriedman4577]

Nice moves. Cool cape

[@muchahonra2b]

Good exhibition of strenght but I would work on not making my moves so "violent". The beauty of aerial acrobatics is making everything graceful and controlled, not sudden and constricted

[@MiSaLiAnW]

i was impressed of the different emotion to all the soft and graceful movements. This video shows powerful strong emotion. Why make it all the same?

[@artemiss7106]

The violence is the best part

[@Eulogy080]

Well his whole theme was a spartan warrior so i think it makes sense

[@rosanna5520]

everyone has his own style. violent is as beautiful as graceful

[@slickjimmyspeaks3995]

American Football, Rugby, and Mixed Martial Arts are all violent and can be extremely graceful, while at the same time powerful and explosive. With civility, don't restrict another's performance, just because it might not be your cup of tea.

[@Adrianaprp]

AWESOME!!!! AMAZING!!!!

where do i go to meet this guy wow

[@kdawson2010]

This is amazing. Reminded me of a cirque du soleil storyline.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Yessss!!! Most ppl don't know pole dancing started as fitness not dancing with men over 800 yrs ago in India and wooden poles too. Women were not a part of it. He's remarkable!!

[@leedraconis5793]

Idk how y’all are saying this has no artistic interpretation. Seriously.

[@dennyo612]

He needs a choreographer badly! Lacks artistic interpretation... I didn’t see much pole dancing either!

[@sarahbrown5373]

I didn't understand all the bits with the soldier uniform, but I thought maybe it was a cultural thing. I felt like he had a lot of strength and power, but he didn't make the best use of it in terms of the pole work. I agree, a new choreographer would probably help.

[@joselinmodinger710]

WOOOOW ME GUSTARÍA APRENDER ESTE ARTE

[@silviadavila9657]

Wow!!! Es la primera vez que veo a un hombre en el pole, realmente se ve muy diferente a las mujeres, que fuerza que tiene. Inclusive cuando trepa el pole lo hace caminando. Se nota que el cuerpo de el hombre es menos flexible pero con muchisima mas fuerza y en el final cuando solo se sostiene con los pies, fue increible!!!

[@oszivlogs2560]

Helo! I'm blind, and i'm preparing to be an aerialist. I heard that this guy was a football player before pole. Can you tell me, how flexible he is?

[@hazelnutspred3348]

gee a good male pole dancer is really hard to come by

nice👏👏👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😅😅😍😍😍😍😍 live his moves

[@owenkwiriwiri6373]

Brilliant

[@justjayty]

The brisk movements were necessary for his performance. He portrayed a warrior. It would've been different if he was portraying something else.

Ужасно, артистизм на нуле, элементы чисто силовые, да и то, для детей, сложности и уникальности нет, движения грубые, скованные, на отвали, а как он прошелся от одного пилона к другому, походка аля "гопник на разборках".

[@Rosenquist1965]

Good grief some countries have missed the bus what pole dancing is all about.. It ain't about strength or whom is loudest.. Exotic dance.. The music and the theme over power the actual dance..

[@jasminevaliente96]

Rena Rosenquist that is not what pole is all about. Traditionally sure but it has progressed to be a gymnastic talent. It does not have to be erotic in the least. The pole is simply a tool used by athletes snd dancers alike to show the medium they are trying to portray.

[@feralnerd5]

you're right and you should say it. it's friggin pole dancing, why would you do this to it?

[@LeviLeer1]

Never laughed sooo hard in my life

[@sugaraddict6526]

He wins! Because he’s hot! No really great performance!

[@californiadoll6273]

The gladiator story was dumb, also can they just stay on the pole and stop getting down. Besides that, he did great.

[@leavesofdecember]

I'm utterly bored... It's called pole "DANCE" for a reason, not pole climbing... I've seen better pole dancers in gay clubs to be honest.. I wish there were more male pole dancers, rather than pole wanna-be gymnasts, cuz mind you gymnasts can you a split like there's no tomorrow and are far more able than this guy, so I really don't know what I'm watching here tbh.

[@jazeatscheez]

This guy is not pole dancing. He's terrible at it.

[@ymrtn7]

boring

[@ladybugz4839]

I prefer seeing a woman doing this pole work. Seeing a guy do it doesnt look impressive or fluid in movement.

[@truegrit7697]

This is really rather tragic. Men are just uninteresting pole dancers. Maybe he should try belly dancing or hula dancing... Yawn.
