Pole dancing @ Go Expo Helsinki

Kudos to Anne Laakkonen for a solid performance both in the Finnish Championships on Saturday and for a showcase on Sunday. 

GoExpo is an annual trade fair show which brings together fitness, outdoor and bicycle enthusiasts. This year GoExpo joined forces with Photo&Camera Exhibition and Helsinki Horse Fair, all for one ticket. To call the crowd mixed is a understatement.


I spent Saturday and Sunday at Ahlsport's stand promoting their Fitpoles. Basically I lured passers-by into trying firemen spins or challenged guys to show their strength with crocodiles and even flags. I think I managed to get at least a couple of girls and even one guy hooked on pole, pun intended. But I have to admit, 6-7 hours of pole dancing per day for two days in a row is too much even for me. Nike Blast was a warm-up compared with this weekend! 

Exhausting myself with ayshas, butterflies, candlesticks and this jacknife - and as you can see, my audience is a 10-year-old boy.

Vietin viikonlopun Helsingin Messukeskuksessa GoExpossa Ahlsportin osastolla opettaen ohikulkijoille palomiespyörähdyksiä ja innostamalla miehiä näyttämään voimiaan tangolla. Uskon saaneeni ainakin muutaman messukävijän jäämään koukkuun tankotanssiin! Mutta 6-7 tuntia tankotanssia päivässä on yksinkertaisesti liikaa...
