Production Notes by Host Daisha Hunter



I was mesmerized by a video I viewed of Lu's performance over a year ago. I immediately went to her website to learn more about her classes offered in Tokyo. Coming from America, I viewed pole dance as a stripper art form and not the same as I would performance acrobats. I learned that this is exactly what Lu hoped to teach about the art and talent of pole dancing. She is revered as a pioneer in Asia, opening the first pole dance studio and starting her own pole distribution company. She teaches women and interested men how to be confident and sexy, while helping other dancers improve their skills.

I was honored to have my pole dancing myths dispelled by Lu and her beautiful instructors when filming this episode.
