Bid to make pole dancing an Olympic sport
A group of women is trying to promote pole dancing by hopping onto street traffic signs in a bid to take it to the Olympics.
Nearly 20 women jumped onto street and traffic signs at a popular Sao Paulo square on Saturday to try to attract attention to what they call "pole dance street".
Dance professor Renata Wilke, who wants pole dancing to become an Olympic sport, told the Diario de Sao Paulo newspaper that it's just like pole dancing, but "much more fun".
Dancers wear jeans instead of bikinis or shorts to avoid injuries from the contact with the street poles.
