China’s Oldest Pole Dancer Proves You’re Never too Old to Pole Dance [Video]

This news story caught my eye.  61-year-old Sun Fenggin of China has become well known as the country's oldest pole dancer. Fengqin decided to give pole dancing a try as an interesting form of exercise after becoming bored with tai chi and now millions of people have either seen her dance on TV or online.

Sun Fenggin has had to pay a price for her new interest though, some of her friends and family have shunned her because of pole dancing's association with China's sex industry. Fortunately her husband Cui, who isn't very happy with her new choice of exercise, says that he will always support her.

Now before any of you poo poo pole dancing, it is taken seriously as a form of exercise (see just how seriously with the below video), requiring a lot of strength, agility, and grace.  I'm not sure Sun Fenggin is ever going to be a top notch pole dancer but you have to give her credit for bravery and doing what she loves, despite what people say.
