Jennifer Lopez is so successful in life, she has proved there is nothing that intimidates her. The fearless 50-year-old took on a role as a stripper named Ramona in the movie Hustlers where video clips of her pole dancing have been breaking the Internet. In fact, Jennifer’s dance routines have inspired women around the world to take up pole dancing and the mother of twins even shared footage from her training for the dance segments on her official YouTube account. Johanna Sapakie, a veteran Cirque du Soleil performer, trained Jennifer in just six weeks. Now, more trainers are speaking out about the benefits of pole dancing and it appears this is an art form and exercise that Jennifer will continue using.

Whether Jennifer starts incorporating pole dancing in her live shows remains to be seen, but she wouldn’t be the first to show off impressive moves in her shows. Pink is known for her aerial acrobatics in her live performances and some fans are wondering if they will see similar trends with Jennifer.

Jennifer is a professional dancer who began her career by winning a dance contest then landed a role on the show In Living Color as one of the dancing Fly Girls. The video of Jennifer learning how to pole dance for the movie Hustlers appears as if she picked up every move Johanna Sapakie taught her in record time.
