Miley Cyrus does "pole dancing" at the Teen Choice Awards 2009

Disney's teen sensation and "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus, the 16-year-old singer of the hit song "The Climb", did a well-rehearsed "pole dancing" performance during the live presentation of the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, August 9, in Los Angeles, California.

Miley's pole dancing choreo was done as she performed her latest single "Party in the USA".

For some, the pole dancing was very inappropriate for a 16-year-old like Miley and most especially that Miley's fanbase is composed mostly of teeners and kiddies.

A lot of people has labeled Miley now as the next Britney Spears (2009 Ultimate Choice Awardee) because of that "pole dancing" performance.

But of course, Miley's loyal followers are quick to defend the teen idol.

According to them, there was no malice on what she did and they said that she did not actually do pole dancing.

"She didn't even do a "pole dance"... she was just holding on to it while they pushed the cart around," one fan commented.
