Polarity Pole Competition Submission Vids

SissyBuns started this discussion · 7/7/2010

Well, I'm always trying to stay up to date with who's submitting for what competitions and it proves to be basically impossible since I'm always so busy. So...I thought I'd start a thread where we can post links to submission videos that we see so we'll have a central location to watch them. It might be helpful...well for me at least. LOL I'm going to start threads for other comps (This is just for Polarity), or if you get to it before me you can start it 😀 I'm kicking this off with my girl Jessalyn Mediary - Pole Drama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mevmymRIXfo

i think i might enter pole drama last minute if i can get some studio time tonight! everyone i know is entering pole drama rather than trixster-- including marlo (from pole superstar) and kyra (from USPDF national amateur)-- so it will be a tough category!!
Charley · 7/8/2010
I'm going back and forth on whether or not to do it.
amy · 7/8/2010
why not? it's not like USPDF rules and regulations... and it's a great experience just to make a video and think about what you want to submit. honestly it's a lot harder to do 2 minutes without editing, a single great take, then i thought (realized this when i was doing my instructor video for my studio's website). didn't you enter another comp earlier this year charley?

wait i have a dumb question. i assumed the entries had to be a single take, but i'm seeing a lot of edited videos... i guess this wasn't a rule?

Yea I think edited is ok, I didn't want to do it edited but i bruised a rib and can't really do the tricks I'm capeable of for probably annother week 🙁 I really wanted to enter drama and do a better version of my June Challenge, went and bought a costume and everything, plus I've had this awesome idea cooking in my head for literally years but I've neverbeenable to get into a comp to do it so Drama would havebeen perfect! The beginning of my video was the origional dance I created for my trixpert entry but then my camera shit the bed and I couldn't re record (and of corse all thegood stuff is AFTER the camera stopped) so I used what icould salvage and editeds the rest 🙁

here's marlo: http://www.youtube.com/user/KyraJohannesenNYC#p/u/2/0nrT4228Wcc and kyra: http://www.youtube.com/user/KyraJohannesenNYC#p/u/3/AL2EPpvJf6o both submitting for pole drama.

I submitted for Pole-Am which was disasterous becaus the day I found out about it was the day the vid was due. I have been going back and forth about this one. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what they like. Why so few enteries for trixpert?
PhillyPoleJess · 7/8/2010
eeek i submitted for both pole drama and trixpert. after seeing some of those drama videos i wish i didnt hahaha my lack of a dance background reallllllllyyyyyy shows in comparison. My trixpert entry was just an older video under 2mins. There wasn't anything that said competitors couldnt submit to both so i increased my chances and did! Pole Drama(cut off about :10 secs since the site said 2mins) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdAJkstDYKw Trixpert (many of you have seen this video here or on youtube, i wasn't too happy submitting this but hurt my hip doing the first one and couldnt film a new one 🙁 ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgXrCxQWj2E

You could enter both but you could only be in one. I spoke to Samantha - shes the organizer for this event. She said everyone will get thier thank you emails today and they will pick the finalists on Sunday. I am biting my nails for this. I wonder if they are gonna ask some girls to compete in trixpert if they dont have enough to compete? I really hope I get in, im praying to the pole gods!!! I have an awesome idea for a song and have shoes and an outfit in my head. I have this crazy idea to perform Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert so I can rock the Bond Girl shoes w/the bottle opener ! 😂 😂 😂

I am having a hard time trying to figure out what they like. Why so few enteries for trixpert? i think the difference between the two competitions, at least in my mind, is that trixpert will be judged based on the difficulty of tricks whereas pole drama is judged on overall composition, flow, and musicality-- which is what pole dancing is all about, at least to me. did you end up entering? i actually didn't decide whether or not to enter myself until yesterday... had to scramble to get (literally) an hour of pole time at the studio to film... anyway here is my vid.... i'm sure i won't make it in given the caliber of the other people who entered but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebTAQsVgGc
Charley · 7/9/2010
Amy - you killed it! I love your style. If I could dance like anyone it would be you! I am really hoping you get in. I entered. I didn't have the costume that I would have liked for Drama but I would rather be judged as a whole than just on tricks, I mean flow isn't my strongest point but neither is tricks so maybe between the 2 I look ok 🙄 😳 Pole Drama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_XI-u_3dDw Trixpert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aidnha_9BQ8

i submitted for pole drama...i love theatrical pole dancing. honestly it was a great experience preparing my audition piece and choreographing something. it also gave me a chance to incorporate some traditional dance. My song and audition piece is entitled "Moments In Love". My dance will express all the different emotions that we can feel when we are in love: excitement, passion, hurt, anger and contentment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXJ6bD3uwtU I really liked this young lady below a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0S8FBooagI I love the wink in the beginning...totally drama and she put together a great audition piece..loved the outfit, musicality, attitude but most importantly she brought the personality and matched it to her song. Good luck to all of you that entered!
amy · 7/9/2010
thanks but um, YOU killed it charley! that was awesome! i am hoping that maybe the organizers realize that for hte next one, people want to see more POLE DRAMA! there was acutally an awesome event held in NYC (organized by Kyra) which was called polesque, and the judging was based on audience applause! such an entertaining show. my friend michelle won, you can see her routine here: http://www.youtube.com/michelle5444 onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; my personal hope is that this is the direction that more pole competitions start to move towards 😉
AliciaPolerina · 7/10/2010
All these entries are fantasic, all you ladies are wonderfull, I've been right there with minicoopergirl nail biting, its going to be tough I doubt I'm going to make the cut. Sunday can't come fast enough!!!!!!
Dakota Fox · 7/11/2010
*bitesnails* I got overly ambitious and decided last second to turn in a Trixpert vid... once I saw who all the others who submitted were, I feel kinda silly for turning one in now. Oh well - the worse they can do is say just no thank you, right?! 😳 Gotta give a big shout out to all the other EMW pole videos I've seen so far (Trixpert and Pole Drama) - they've all been awesome, there is so much great talent out there! Good luck to everyone - guess we'll find out soon who made the cut!! 👍

HI All I love everyones videos. I've improved quite a lot over the last few weeks and would love to start entering these competitions but wondered are they only open to US girls, I'm in London and if they culminate in an actual competition where you have to be on location then I guess i'm out.

Polekitten I'm pretty sure most competitions are live performances. But hey - I bet there are a bunch out your way near London if you do some digging around!!
PhillyPoleJess · 7/11/2010
