The two took lessons at dance studio Polecats Manila with one of its founders, Christina Dy or CD, who Mendiola portrayed in a 2016 episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya.”
Mendiola admitted it had been three years since she last did pole dancing and said, “Challenging siya but very empowering.”
Pole dancing is no ordinary dance or sport as it includes acrobatics and a mix of strength, grace and sultriness, sometimes even with sky-high heels. For the choreography, the music chosen was the steamy single “Señorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
