From construction worker to China's pole dance king
- 5 years ago
Sun Jian discovered pole dancing online seven years ago, while working as a construction worker in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
He was instantly hooked. Soon, he quit his job to pursue pole dancing despite his parents’ protest that it was vulgar and unsuitable for a man.
Sun’s hard work has paid off.
Now he owns several pole dancing schools in China, and one third of his thousands of students are male.
Sun and his students travel the world competing in pole dancing competitions, receiving one accolade after another along the way. In 2017, he won the top award in the prestigious Pole Art France competition.
Sun hopes that his success will help change people’s attitude towards pole dancing, and that one day it will be treated in the same way as any other sports in China.
