This Beauty and the Beast Pole Routine Starts Out Tame, But Then Somebody Bends *Unexpectedly*

Pole dancing obviously has a sexy reputation, but the sport is actually harder than it looks. Simply lifting yourself up and around a pole, not to mention completing tricks and full routines, requires a lot of core and arm strength. Pole fitness is so much of a workout that organised competitions exist, during which trained athletes can show off their skills.

Take this Beauty and the Beast-themed routine from the 2018 Pole Sport Organisation Liberty in July last year. A talented performer told the classic Disney story with a series of moves (and a costume change), fit to blow your mind. Watch her full routine above, and enjoy how effortless she makes it look. We bet you've never seen Belle like this before.
