A short and sweet convo with Boris Kynonesz about pole

Pole guru and straight talker from Mexico

Today, Boris is considered a ‘pole guru’ in Mexico, but how did he earn this fabulous title? A few short years ago Boris was ‘just’ an actor and assistant director with a special affinity for circus arts. One contortion class was all it took for his life and career to take an unexpected turn. He was casually invited to try pole dancing after a contortion workshop, fell in love, and has been on a pole roll (or better - spin) ever since. Two years into his pole life, and many international workshops later, fate knocked on his pole again. This time the invitation stood for a pole class sub. He is still not sure how it all unfolded so naturally for him but recalls girls loving the class so much - that he became a regular instructor with over 30 classes per week. Next followed were workshops all over Mexico.

We met up with Boris in Las Vegas to see how he became so involved in the pole scene in Mexico and what are his dreams for the Mexican pole future. Here is what we learned. 

Why do you think pole dance had such an effect on you?
Pole has taught me there’s no size, colour, body shape, age, gender, etc.. we’re all on the same path and we should all love our bodies and all that they can do. 

How come you decided to completely switch career paths?
 I left my day job as assistant director and actor because pole gave me the confidence I needed in life and career.  I discovered there’s nothing I can’t do as long as I try. I had the chance to travel and meet a lot of beautiful people.
