Jennifer Lopez has always been what’s known as a triple threat. Singer, dancer and actress, J-Lo does it all and she does it exceptionally well; she’s one of the best in the business and quite the talented lady! Yet, even with such an incredible resume, Jennifer Lopez can now add one more thing to her resume: pole dancer. 

J-Lo will work the pole as a veteran pole dancer in the newly released movie “Hustlers,” and she did all while turning 50-years-old this year. The movie stars big names like Cardi B, Keke Palm, Constance Wu, and Lili Reinhart. “Hustlers” is actually based on a true story about a group of strippers that started drugging and scamming their wealthy clients.

J-Lo shared a behind-the-scenes video of her journey to learn how to dance like a true veteran pole dancer and the video footage is incredible. The video followers her from the very first time she ever attempted to get on the pole to dance, all the way to the filming of the scenes in the movie. She truly looks like she is a professional pole dancer.

J-Lo was trained by Johanna Sapakie, a professional dancer and choreographer. Johanna is actually a pole dancing veteran because it works unique muscles and has years of experience according to Harper's Bazaar. Sapakie also trained the other actors in the movie. However, J-Lo's training was much more intense with it beginning 2 1/2 months before filming at 3 times a week for an hour while J-Lo was also on tour performing shows. 

"That was the point of making sure she had a pole in any city she was in. And I would go to her wherever she was at, so that within for a crazy busy schedule, we would lock out a pole training," says Sapakie to Bazaar.
