Flag Pole Dancing in Argentina

Filed in archive Latin News , Latinas on September 28, 2007

Pole dance is very popular in Argentina. Why? They have a TV show similar to Dancing with the Stars, in which pole dance is one of the categories. It's disgusting, really; the girls dance dressed as strippers, showing their *sses and everything. Once, one of them even took off her shirt, and finished the dance in topless. Yes, everybody was able to see her breasts.

Anyway, the thing is, an Argentinian school teacher is being acused of using the flag pole to perform a pole dance, during the celebrations of Student's Day. I think this is hard to believe, but again, there are so many nut jobs out there...

The school of Divisadero, in the Argentinian province of San Juan, is divided
between those who accuse the teacher, and those who say she wasn't dancing. Some parents have said "She didn't do anything, she just climbed two steps towards the pole and stood there".

Besides, the school's principal said: "I went to take a look, because of the noise and the music's high volume, I saw her dancing with the students and I called her attention, but as long as I was looking, she never touched the flag pole".

However, there are students who told their parents and siblings about the teacher's flag pole dance, assuring that the dance had really happened.

Finally, the teacher broke her silence and told her version of the story: "The students were bored and I put some music on. We started to dance, and after a while I got dizzy, I reached the pole for support, but I never danced" (with the pole, I guess).

Apparently there's no proof of anything, but the the teacher has confirmed she's taking 20 days off, for medical reasons: bipolar disorder. That doesn't look good, does it?
