Britain’s Got Talent is a stage where ordinary people can surprise the harshest critics and a sometimes unforgiving audience. Emma Haslam is a blonde, 210 lb, and utterly confident female pole dancer who surprised everyone.
Haslam is a “big-bodied” girl who, despite her non-traditional measurements, demonstrates her mastery of a tease on a burnished pole. Dressed in a revealing, yet complimentary outfit, Haslam initially was labeled on the Britain’s Got Talent stage as fat. She is obviously empowered by the love of knowing that women her size have a highly-regarded place in the adult entertainment industry.
In a matter of split-seconds, Miss Haslam shimmies up a three inch-in-diameter pole with the grace and lightness of a model half her size. She performs stellar and alluring acrobatics at every angle, including hanging upside-down by a single leg. Every daring move she makes on the pole is completed with great posture, amazing lightness, and a brilliant smile.
Normally, this type of artistic fusion would be laughed-off of a nationally televised stage. How can a large woman convince an audience that she is a sensual and appealing dancer? It’s through charm, daring, and a strong personality that she wows the judges into a “Four Yes” approval! Even Simon honestly smiles throughout her routine, and is taken by her desire to make it on Britain’s Got Talent.
