Rachel Tolzman, who has been pole dancing since 2011 and now teaches at London's Ecole de Pole, broke down 10 pole scenes in movies and TV, critiquing their realism and technique. A former Miss Pole Dance UK and winner of the International Pole and Aerial Tournament 2016, Tolzman also placed bronze at the World Pole Sport & Fitness Championship.

Tolzman looked at dances by Salma Hayek in "Americano" and Rihanna in "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets."

She also critiqued the dance skills of Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu in the 2019 movie "Hustlers."

Tolzman went into detail about technical pole moves in strip-club scenes, such as Natalie Portman's dance in "Closer," Elizabeth Berkley in "Showgirls," and Marisa Tomei in "The Wrestler."
