May Pole: Pole Fetish 2009 brings local pole dancers to a dance off

Years of channel surfing have taken me to ESPN to see every kind of fitness and body building competition, my favorite being the aerobics choreography. But I have never had the luxury of watching a pole dance competition outside of YouTube.

It’s no surprise that pole dancers have competitions, but it is a surprise that in Utah we are having our own this weekend. Sexy twirls and tricks that showcase the strength of these ladies who’s skills range from beginners to advanced.

Pole Fetish 2009 has been in the news for several months as Davis County Commissioner Bret Millburn has resisted this dance pole of the devil, but with strict rules forbidding the dancers to sexually arouse the audience, the show will go on.

The battle of the stripper pole kit dancing dancers takes place on Saturday, May 16 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Davis Conference Center, 800 Heritage Park Blvd. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $50 for VIP seating. For more information call 801-678-0225.
