Chinese pole dance instructor Liu Feifei, left top, helps one of her students to stretch her legs as they practise pole dancing at a dance training center in Zhengzhou city, central China's Henan province, 16 December 2014. Fascinated by pole dancing, Liu Feifei, now 22 years old, gave up her advertising design career after graduation and became a pole dance instructor in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan province. Her dream is to continue pole dance study abroad. As a form of performance art, historically associated with strip clubs and night clubs, pole dance has gone popular and trendy in China and even viral among female professionals these years. It has also become a sport event in the national level. The China Pole Dance Team was established in Tianjin in 2012 after its captain Meng Yifan had entered the last 24 of the World Pole Dance Championships 2011, triggering public attention on and interest in the sexy dance.
