Best in Showgirls: the vet banned from pole dancing with her dog

4 June 2018

Picture the scene.

You and your dance partner have practised your routine for months. It’s flawless. You’re ready.

When you arrive at the dance contest, however, you’re suddenly barred from performing and at risk of being fined — all because your routine involves the use of a stripper’s pole. Also your dance partner is a border collie.

Too fanciful a premise?

Not for vet Rebecca Kennedy and her dog, Izzy.

Rebecca’s pole dance routine is her interpretation of Heelwork to Music — a competitive activity in the dog community where a routine is choreographed to music and performed within a four-minute window.

We have fun; this is what we do.

One of Rebecca’s routines was based around a popular, lion-based Disney film:-

“I would be upside down. [The song from the film] says ‘everybody look left’ and [Izzy] would turn left. And it would say ‘everybody look right’ and [Izzy] would turn right.”

A June 2017 performance of their routine earned mostly good feedback. Only one observer suggested that Rebecca shouldn’t use the pole next time.

It wasn’t until April 2018 that Rebecca received an email, completely out of the blue, explaining that her routine brought Heelwork to Music into disrepute.

She could be disqualified, it continued, and fined up to £300.

“I only use positive reinforcement training, especially when doing this, because I don’t think I should force a dog to do anything.”

Woof!

Izzy (probably)

Veteran journalist Kaye Adams got a chance to chat with Rebecca’s dance partner directly.

Izzy’s lovely, silky hair led Kaye to make a humorous reference to a popular 90s shampoo advert — a joke that, sadly, Izzy didn’t get.
