A Senior Citizen Center Bringing in a Professional Pole Dancer to Perform is a 10/10 Move

NY Post

Embla Bergli, a dancer and aerial artist from Olso, Norway, was hired for a seasonal shindig that called for “spectacular entertainment,” she told The Post, and found herself in a recreation room full of retirees recently.

Bergli, 27, was booked to display her pole skills for members of a local mental health advocacy group, but it wasn’t long before her audience became the true stars of the show and had their turn — quite literally — at the pole.

I'll be brave and say it, I don't look forward to getting old and having to live in a nursing home. Hopefully the reaper comes around long before that time and puts me out of my misery. For those that stick around long enough to be put in one of these places, I feel for you. Bingo, movies, Rummy, Scrabble it's just day after day of sadness. Can you even drink in these places? I would guess no right? Everyone just wants to be this guy. 

Well, luckily if you were an old at this senior citizen spot you were treated to Embla Bergli putting on a pole dancing masterclass. I imagine these people gained an extra 5 years of life just watching Embla do her thing. Probably the most fun they've experienced in decades. She was so good the people wanted autographs! 

Good on you Embla and good on the director of this old age home for actually caring about their people.
