Pole dancing and intelligent discussion in the same room? At the GUU? Sounds unlikely, but that’s exactly what happened on Saturday of Freshers’ Week 2010 at Glasgow Uni. Students, politicians and members of the Pole Dancing Club battled it out in the debates chamber over the motion “This house condemns pole dancing”. The Club also presented a live demonstration of their dancing, for illustrative purposes only, you understand. Be prepared for slick pole moves, fierce debate and skimpy clothing.
