In the wake of the controversy surrounding the current The Lake & Stars ad campaign comes this pole dancing video featuring the lingerie brand’s fall/winter 2011 collection. The film, which can also be seen in The Lake & Stars’ new BOFFO pop-up store, is an abstraction of pole dancing. It aims to highlight the strength of women and underline their power rather than their frailty, as well as provide a community of dancers supporting each other in tandem positions. The film features two former Rockette dancers, a principle dancer from The Lion King on Broadway, and two world-class award-winning competitive pole dancers, each reiterating the force of femininity and the possibility of embracing one’s sexuality while still emoting power and control.
