Ok so question

I am like REAL into creepy shit. Avant garde, the macabre, unsettling things, the grotesque, the surreal, weird shit. And I LOVE butoh for that reason, among others.

Is there a style of pole dance that incorporates this sort of thing? Like, being sexy is fun, but being UNSETTLING is way better (for me, at least). Like I’ve seen contemporary dance incorporated, hip hop too, but what about like butoh? Does that go too far against what butoh is and is about?

I feel like there’s gotta be something like this out there. Anybody point me in the direction?

So I got my pole!!

But it turns out, my ceilings are too high. I need another extension on it before I can install it…. so I’ve ordered a tape measure to figure out what kind of extension I need, and will be ordering the extensions this week once it arrives!

I need to order a few other things with the extensions. Cleaning alcohol and a mat are deffo on the list, but I’m thinking I want to try getting some gloves as well. My hands just get so goddamn sweaty. Anybody worked with them before? Any recommendations for them?
