Why Strippers Are Upset About Netflix’s Pole Dance Documentary

I have watched a bit of it mostly fast forwarded because it was awful. I think I watched first couple minutes (introductions) and then very briefly here and there. It is like a women's group talking about their problems and struggles. No thank you. They need a real show on like the pole Olympic championship (plus those ladies are hot, ladies in this documentary really aren't)!

I did watch most of the part where one of the few good looking ones told her story, Casey James. I guess she did porn for like 6 months and even that made her too recognizable when she got a "normal" job. I had never heard of her before and even tried to look her up on the hub of porn (reversed). Nothing. She would be average or even below average for the dancers we all see, but she was pretty compared to these ladies! The main instructor was hot at least!

I'll probably watch/fast forward all of it one of these days. Doubt it gets better.

Striptease is now on Netflix, but I already watched/fast forwarded through that one back in the day...I think the VHS days!

Just read the article. Remembered one name because one lady is hot, Jenyne Butterfly. I think she is/was in Las Vegas shows and used to be a stripper. She was awesome. So at least one featured lady (besides the main instructor) was hot! Too bad the whole show wasn't just about her!

The women who do pole dancing as a hobby, or as "fitness," try VERY hard to pretend that they have nothing in common with those nasty, immoral strippers. So I'm not surprised that a mainstream or even semi-mainstream documentary would ignore the elephant in the room.

This is like the tree falling in the woods - with nobody there - does it really make a sound?

Women dressing sexy and pole dancing - in a place with no mirrors or customers - does it really matter?

Pole dancing for fitness is like putting tits on a bull...

Meaningless correction. The former porn "star" shown is Wendy James, not Casey James.

There is a blonde with long hair that I didn't even catch her names and she is super hot. Wore a half shirt. Had an amazing body and pretty face. Of course it seemed to barely show her segment and then went right to the pregnant lady!

One of the worst "shows" I've ever "seen".

Saw another 20 or so minutes tonight. But not watched. Watched maybe a minute (Wendy James for about a 30 second clip and the hot blonde for about her 30 second clip.

And yeah Wendy James may be one of the prettier ones in the show, but she is definitely average at best for the kind of dancers I would see in most clubs.

Avoid this one! Very disappointing!

Thanks for the education on pole dancing, Waffle.
