Simon Ferguson wraps himself around a silver pole and performs a horizontal body ripple. As a male pole dancer, he's in the minority and attracts increased attention, but more men are taking up the sport.
Simon Ferguson wraps himself around a silver pole, tearing off a high-vis shirt and tradie shorts to reveal bright pink speedos, with the word "hero" emblazoned across a taut muscular backside.
"There's a few misconceptions that come along with pole dancing so they're pretty keen to ask a whole heap of questions to find out if I'm a stripper or not."Just over two years since his first class, Mr Ferguson is heading to a national pole-dancing competition in Adelaide this weekend — and has his eyes on second place.
"It shouldn't really matter if you're a guy, girl, gay or straight, you're just there to spin around on a pole and hopefully not fall on your head," Mr Beyer said.Mr Ferguson's arms flex as he climbs the pole like a monkey, and then swings from one arm to hold himself upside down before flipping to the floor.
"My mother is a very creative person and for a long time I was jealous because I thought it had skipped me," he said.
