Pole dancing (钢管舞) is a very difficult sport. LuAyne Brown began to learn it in 2006.
“I’d always wanted to try it, but I was worried about what people would think,” LuAyne Brown told Closer (a British magazine). “But when I had my first class and everyone was in stilettos (细高跟女鞋) and tiny shorts, regardless of (不顾) their different sizes, I felt a lot better.” LuAyne Brown began competing in 2008. Some people didn’t support her and they said something bad, so she wasn’t confident because of the disappointing views. LuAyne Brown also took part in America’s Got Talent in 2012 and passed it. The experience gave her more confidence to take part in other competitions. As “the world’s heaviest pole dancer,” LuAyne Brown told The Huffington Post in a phone interview, “You should love yourself until your last day. Life is wonderful. Don’t let the size of your jeans determine (决定) what kind of life you want to lead.”
