Meet the 54-year-old pole dancer who took up the sport while eight months pregnant with her fourth child.

Sara Joel, 54, was a working as a professional acrobatic dancer with the Cirque du Soleil - a circus performance company - and took up pole dancing 10 years after performing with them.

She had been asked to train someone in pole dancing for the Cirque du Soleil - and decided to brush up her skills but enjoyed it so much she ended up "falling in love" with the sport.

At 44 years old - while eight months pregnant with her fourth child - Sara performed her first pole dancing routine at Drom, New York City, and hasn't stopped since.
