still for that let's think. 60 minutes t.w. . raring to read. not everyone who writes books has to go insane. if you literature list 100 jurors must reads. well you won't be seeing me spinning around the pole today but rather this

incredible athlete. welcome to euro max will show you more of that professional pole dancer in just a little bit here's a look at what else is coming up. why scientists from around the world gathered in copenhagen in july. and. what makes a view of the eiffel tower so desirable. now it wasn't too long ago that pole dancing was exclusively associated with strip clubs now it's growing ever more popular as a hobby and recreational sport a star of the scene is russian dimitri polytope of he's been dancing all his life but had little success until he found his true calling he's now a real star of the pole dancing scene and even has a limb pick bishop. stretching

exercises are essential in his line of business dimitri poly top of russia is one of the world's best pole dances this is not just fooling around. i started out with a breakdown but i wasn't very good at it. remember i think i was even one of the worst on the team. nobody really believes that anything special one day. and i don't know. the big turnaround came 6 years ago when he discovered acrobatic pole dancing. many people might think of nightclubs and strippers when they hear the words. trees or

something else in a masculine school that demands strength insurance and it does courage. gangbanger but i would go but after i don't need to apologize or if. the women are maybe a bit more uncomfortable with the topic. but i just say never we do i really look like a stripper. at the international pole emotion festival in riga latvia the entries had to show a lot more than just their bodies every dance number tells a story it may be the dancers own life story and have nothing erotica.

dimitri sat on the cheery he was glad to see so many performances by men. yes i did i'd like to see as many guys pole dancing as possible that great joining fee. dimitri was born in a small town in russia now he lives with his wife and young son in neighboring ukraine. continue. the 5 year old sarah from as proud of his top as job brianna and him joyce practicing together with family. dimitri uses every free minute he can get to train in his own gym. his calendar is booked up these days he isn't a man not only as a performer but as a coach as well. he travels all over the world competing for and winning

international awards. like america but of the reason europe the most in my life everything revolves around the whole god thing. because it might just have to see an object that you know perfectly alright on and when i start thinking about what i can do with most of us just treat them better belly. back to riga. at the pole dancing festival dimitri makes a brief guest appearance his moves are clear cut and confident acrobatic. that's when it does it from sweden tells a very different story full of vulnerability and sensuality. both to form is confront the audience with themes of masculinity and sexuality each in his own way. your play put it straight. i'm straight i could never dance

in a feminine way maybe with friends just for fun. but i prefer a masochist i would like to take it in that direction and. many people think he's only for gay man which i want to change. because he might. be about. anybody for the top has to know how to fold. to me she tells that to aspiring pole dance is. he'd like to see pole dancing become an imp explode someday yet and he intends to work hot to help make it one. now everyone deserves a break once in a while and no one has longer holidays than santa claus he's busy in december but what does father christmas to the remaining 11 months of the year well every summer in denmark hundreds of santas congregate at the world santa claus congress is the

perfect place for them to talk shop and get a dose of sunshine before they take to the skies with a sled full of presents. essenes cutscene has come from over 4000 kilometers away to take part in this ritual. christmas. the 41 year old comes from jerusalem to him it's an honor to participate in the annual footpath at bellevue beach in copenhagen. it takes place during the world santa congress. the water is pretty cold but that doesn't put sand off. just being here is the main thing for cars to see. actually only descent in jerusalem in the holy land and it would be my pleasure to

meet all the centers around the word that's why i come here especially it's different to have christmas in july and i bring what i have more experience to bring back to the truth to the holiness. back in jerusalem it's a nice has his very own sanchez house it's visited by some 13000 children a year. this santa doesn't bring presents with a reindeer driven sleigh but by camel. the world center congress is held in an amusement park so there's plenty of opportunities to enjoy other types of rides. there are also contests that put santa skills to the test. it's christmas in july. because they are very busy in christmas time. that's why they meet in summer cause reeling christmas also goes on the order of very busy like me i'm busy all december

and january i can come travel around the word that's why i come here and your life . around. $140.00 santas and elves from around the world are attending the event. the world santa claus congress took place for the 1st time in 1957. this is the 2nd time he said nice is taking part. of the congress is the parade through blocking the world's oldest amusement park just outside copenhagen the crowds love the spectacle again kid chat with the sound . of. essenes and his colleagues also have a chance to get to know each other and talk about their work. stain high back on was and is one of the organizers. he enjoys bringing together sanchez with different cultural backgrounds. we have some that. come to

a costume that doesn't quite look like a santa but which reflects their the way they hold christmas in their country so i think it helps to communicate that christmas while it's something we share all over the world is still. a cultural thing as well it. isa nice casi see is a christian in a country where judaism is the most common religion so for him the world santa congress is a place to meet kindred spirits. but most of us are friends and we see the day visit us. in jerusalem some of them being into them and that's why i come here to make more friends to bring them back to my country we have a sense of pride and that is what christmas is all about family fun and spreading joy and happiness. well from copenhagen we travel to the capital of fronts this is the most famous symbol of paris the eiffel tower every year to tracks

around $7000000.00 visitors and for many it's a dream to one day be this close to the real thing but then again there are lots of people who wake up to a view of it every day and it's those provisions that are of special interest to the photographer just for what. it's really paris you feel when you have the eiffel tower in front of you and to see it every night every morning it was important for me when we chose this up but when it was i had to see it that is. just to watch the photographer from london he wanted to know how the iconic landmark is viewed by the city's residents and visitors people lucky enough to live

with a view of it including back yet no one who lives in the 16th or going to small with a husband just poor whites research eventually turns into a book project told to i felt a connection of pictures showing the tower from the homes of present residents. this. is so magnetic and it just says that you have to use this somehow i have to kind of use this tower to tell a story about art. and that's how we started. since 2040 jasper has visited 40 homes from a not 3 apartment on the sand to student digs on the city outskirts what they all share is a view of the eiffel tower. very interesting to find out how people bond if. she screwed up with this view and the carrots they would at night they leave the cartons open there isn't any night light

you know and she has this amazing relationship with the tower and then when they tell her stories or the stories they and they kind of a lot of them involve the tower so they play a play with that she has this really emotional bond that. some people are prepared to put up with a lot. for the sake of the view jerome somewhere and his partner moved into an apartment that didn't even have a kitchen. they didn't mind the inconvenience because the skyline outside the window is so spectacular. only it won't last there's a call now if you don't when we 1st walked into the room and saw the view of the eiffel tower we were really astonished crees we hadn't expected we immediately said where do we sign we knew we had to take the apartment over over over.

it's a view they never get tired of even though they see it every day. just . as we sit down have a drink and a chat and suddenly one of us will say oh it's never looked like this before the light color and we get out our smartphones and take a picture it opposed only instagram so it's. just the white feels the same way even though he's been taking these pictures for 5 years he says it doesn't get boring he might be a londoner but the eiffel tower has a special place in his heart and maybe he is a little bit envious to have the fairies out there in my view and. get something that like spirit every day and you see this is great and asked for more than. just the white plans to finish and publish this to i fell book project
