“If the door isn’t open, kick it down.”
Professional pole dancer Miles Woods is all about breaking the lucite ceiling that has, until recently, kept male pole dancers in the shadows.
Since moving to LA a few years ago, Woods has appeared in a Diesel short film by David LaChapelle, been featured in a Britney Spears video, and become the first male dancer to work the pole at LA topless institution Crazy Girls since the club opened in 1948 (he’s even hosted an LGBT night there).
And he’s just getting started. To learn more, we had Woods stop by for an interview and intimate demonstration of his pole artistry. Check out the video above, where he tells INTO Editor-in-Chief Zach Stafford about his quick rise, the message he wants to send, and how pole dancing changed his outlook on life.
