This is the moment a woman looking to practice sexy pole dancing while scantily dressed decides to go to the local playground and use one of the poles put in place for children.

A video shot from a nearby block of flats shows the woman named Lesya Novikova unashamedly twisting and turning on the pole including doing the splits upside down in a viral video that has gained almost two million views.

The video was reportedly shot at the playground in Uralmash, which is a residential area in the northern part of the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.

In the footage, Lesya in a crop top and tight-fitting shorts performs her exercises on the pole in the playground unconcerned at the fact that at at the same time, children are playing nearby.

As well as all the views there were numerous comments such as ‘Lexeme’ who said: “Beautiful view from the window.”

While user ‘Babayka’ jokes: “Not good, none of grandmother had a heart attack!”

And ‘Tanya Minney’ asks: “Didn’t they let her go into the night club?”

Lesya Novikova, who is an accountant and hypnotherapist, said that she was just preparing for a talent contest.

She said she became interested in pole dancing eight years ago.

But when she went on maternity leave, she had to forget about spicy dances at the pole.

Lesya decided to take up the old when she was preparing for a creative competition.

She said: “They gave some meaning to my dance which in no way was what it implied. I don’t need attention either, someone said that I dance for my ex, but I have a husband!”

According to Lesya, she did not expect her training to get so much attention and said she had already been to the playground a couple of times as it was the only place where she could practice.

She said: “The gym is far away, and the workout zones are not provided for pole dance.”

Chairman of the Sverdlovsk Regional Parents’ Committee Lyudmila Zolotnitskaya said that they cannot be held responsible for adult dances on the playground for kids.

Lyudmila said to local media: “If you think that this situation offends you, then you have the right to write a complaint, they (police) must accept it from you, and then they will decide whether these moments of mine spent here are really offensive actions or not.”

But Lesya added that the now the practice was over after she competed in the Miss Charisma event and ended up winning the title.
