Embla Bergli, a dancer and aerial artist from Norway, was recently booked to perform her pole dancing routine at a senior center, and the audience decided they wanted to take a turn on the pole. Video of the retirees swinging away has almost 14 million views on TikTok so far.
Viewers are calling the video “wholesome” in the comments, with one person saying, “If this ain’t my nursing home when I’m older I don’t want it.” Bergli says she’d love to return to the senior center; she quit her job as a tech economist to “focus 100%” on pole and aerial work.
