Brazilian women pole dancing on the streets

A group of Brazilian women is trying to promote pole dancing by hopping onto traffic signs in the streets of Sao Paulo, South America's biggest city.

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.
