I'm interested in competing after a few years of poling. I think I've heard of a competition called "Mrs. Pole"? And I've heard there's a competition called "Polesque"? Does anyone know anything about either of them? Thanks!

It would help us if you could tell us where you are located. There are members on this site from all over the world.
And if this is the Polesque I am thinking of (New York), it is more a performance/burlesque style competition. There are videos all over youtube that will show you what to expect.
Sorry about that. I'm in the Buffalo/Rochester, NY area. The Polesque competition appeals to me a lot. I like combining the burlesque with the pole and, in essence, telling a story. But I don't know anyone who has competed, so I'm not sure how to even get started in competition.
There is another member here from that area. There are a LOT of good threads here about competing or performing. Take a look around....we have people who have probably enetered every single competition floating around!
Polesque is awesome. I've never completed but have been to the show. Nyc has all sorts of competitons and showcases. If you are looking for shows my suggestion would be to stalk facebook and the events pages on here of course. I found out about a ton of comps just from being on facebook and being friends and fans of other polers. If you are specifically looking for nyc I would reccomend liking body & poles page they always have tons of info.. and other nyc studios And again make sure you check the events on here!! Hope that helps
Also, there are showcases that routinely happen in Cleveland and Columbus plus the big show in Detroit in March. These would be close and give you an idea of how showcases and competitions are set up and are in locations that are cheaper to visit than NYC. Look up Infinity Aerial, Cleveland Exotic Dance on facebook and https://www.studioveena.com/events/view/Michigan_Dance__Air_Festival_322324_1353811010. It is a really good idea to get some experience performing in front of people before starting to compete and local showcases are perfect opportunities!
@chemgoddess1- Thank you so much for the info! I checked out your suggestions! Liked them on facebook, so I can stay up to date. I don't have any experience performing in front of an audience, so this would be a great start! :) @jkpolegirl- Having a hard time finding current info for Polesque, but I'll keep looking. I checked out Body and Pole. Thank you! Looks awesome! Thinking about their summer camp in August! :)
