[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

This art form will always amaze me. It’s a perfect way to showcase what an unbelievably beautiful and incredible machine the human body is. This was absolutely gorgeous.💗

Thank you so much. I had the best time performing this challenging piece.

I genuinely believe that pole dancing should be in the Olympics

[@petuniawigglebottom3392]

Ballet on a pole. A divine powerhouse. Awesomely gorgeous performer by an awesomely gorgeous artist.

[@nickyperryman2683]

For lyrical movement and musicality, sympathy with the mood and atmosphere, strength and beautiful flowing transitions, this is one of the most uplifting I've ever seen. Well done! It was superb!

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@amymaiella-sagi2735]

I can’t even imagine holding myself up for one minute on that pole let alone what she did. Honestly this was so beautiful and emotional. I loved everything about this expression.

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. I worked really hard to tell a story and not just perform trick after trick, so I'm happy that it made you feel something.

[@stephencree4967]

Strength practice and more practice ❤

[@a.s.1095]

This is just.... I can't find the right words to express how absolutely beautiful and aeshtetic this is, love it!

Thank you so much!

[@melissaporter885]

Every bit as impressive as any gymnastic performance in the Olympics. Strength, stamina, skill, and sheer perfection of form. Wow.

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@mistymitchell5121]

This girl is pole perfection. Not all fast hard moves she has strength and knows how to paint a picture with the song and her moves. Superbly done!

[@carlawilliams5132]

It’s hard to even know what to say really because the athleticism an artistry of this woman is beyond words almost… The amount of training and dedication and talent is absolutely astonishing and gorgeous

Wow! this means a lot to me. Thank you!

[@LaughingSaint66]

holy hell her body is art!!! her movements so graceful

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much!

[@kimgerling5820]

Moving. Beautiful. I’m amazed with how the human body can move that way. The performance left me in a trance at times. I wished I could “fly” around a pole like that. You make it look effortlessly but I know that it takes a lot of strength, endurance to do it. I’m in awe!

[@Alexandra-qc9te]

Trust me love if you want to you can do it! It takes serious dedication for this level but the greatest part is you'll have so much fun! 😊 You learn to let go of inhibitions that cause you anxiousness or unnecessary embarrassments to becoming very empowered no matter your left fears. We all have insecurities in some form and it's kicka$$ just having fun while we discover them. I learned thru stripping but if there was more personal classes like these days i would've faced my fears a bit differently lol. Go have fun ! and take a class for the heck of it 😘❤ Think of me cheering you on👌💪

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much for your kind words. All the hard work at smoothing out my transitions definitely paid off to hear beautiful comments like yours!

[@sayusayme7729]

Stunning athleticism and artfully executed ♥️

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you. I appreciate that you saw me as an athlete and an artist!

[@imme2272]

Absolutely stunning! The grace and control is wonderful.!

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much. With my body type sometimes, I find it hard to be graceful. I'm glad you liked it!

[@gabby210]

This is so unbelievably beautiful. I come back to this video so often, seeing someone who has mastered the craft makes me so excited to continue working hard at pole. Please post more pole!!!!

[@tomorrocat]

I wish I still could (see comment above if you're curious)! How's it going for you?

[@TheRealSmokahontas]

These sensual and beautiful dances have inspired me to get my own pole

[@laurajane1916]

You definitely should get your own pole and start learning some skills on it!

[@TheRealSmokahontas]

@@laurajane1916 do you have any recommendations?? I saw one on Amazon for $130 is that a good starting one? I’m serious about this. Thank you!!! 🥰

Transitioning gracefully from one ridiculously difficult move to the next. Mesmerizing flow. Impressive to a layperson. Incredible to anyone who’s ever tried pole moves. Much admiration and respect. Keep it up!

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you noticed the smooth transitions as I had to work really hard on this and that was what was the final piece in linking it all together.

[@Nonsequitoria2010]

Everyone please take a moment to understand, this woman is so strong she repeatedly GRIPPED the pole with her ass while controlling the speed of her spin by simply engaging her abs and back. You may think you're fit, but pole dancing will challenge you in ways you don't know about to imagine.

[@Alexandra-qc9te]

Whoo! So true! You'll discover muscles you didn't think you had in those places 😂❤ Bless your week doll 😊

[@blacksorrento4719]

Core strength and other muscles required for this is an ability, most of us only dream of having. Her interpretation, choreography and slow sustained athleticism, leave me in awe, kudos to the lady in the video. 👍👍👍

[@laurajane1916]

@@blacksorrento4719 Thank you so much. I like your term "slow, sustained athleticism" because that's exactly what it is!

[@laurajane1916]

Yes, I think everyone needs to try it to actually understand how hard it can be! Thank you for your kind words.

[@blacksorrento4719]

@@laurajane1916 if that was you on the pole. I salute you. Too many people are ignorant and far too quick to judge. The amount of core strength and athletic ability needed to perform those moves, is lost on many people. Sadly they have no idea!!! I have just rewatched the video, and I a 70 yr old grandmother who in my younger day, used to do gymnastics, ice dancing and Latin, am still in awe, beautiful performance 👏👏👏

[@laurajane1916]

Thank you!

[@tomorrocat]

Ok, she is MAGNIFICENT. Absolutely Beautiful and Badass! DAMN I wish I was still dancing so I could try some of her moves! We had poles, and used them, but it just wasn't nearly as much of a thing back then (where I was anyway, San Diego 90's), not a huge level of skill in the clubs (some of the top $ girls never even touched the pole!) and nowhere to go to take classes. AND no KZbin!!! I'm 57 now though (and in a wheelchair!) so I think pole dancing days are behind me now, sadly! 🥴 P.S. NOTHING sleazy went on where I worked, it really was just dancing! No judgement to girls who worked at more risque clubs though, to each his/her own as long as not hurting anyone ❣️

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I never heard this song except by Il Divo so I had to listen just to hear it from a different performer. The music was amazing, the performance even more so! Stunning work. Athletic, hypnotic at times, freeing at others and still other times scary as you watched her hang upside down but knowing the skill and control was there to keep her from falling. Beautifully done! I’ve seen some acts before but as expected they were on TV and rather trashy looking. This is beauty and grace and a reminder that we are created in Gods image not some baboon myth!
