You mentioned trying to fit in a lot of tricks in 2-3 minutes, I think judges are looking for more of a well rounded performer so don’t worry you don’t need to trick out every second. If you have time, you should reshoot with the suggestions already given and maybe just include your strongest and favorite tricks and maybe just a dash more dance in there.
I think you are doing awesome for only 5 months and I think if you slowed down just a tad and like Roxy said really extend each trick the judges are going to be extremely impressed!!!!!
I think you have what it takes!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Also, though on a side note because you haven’t been dancing long I do hope you are ready for a situation where you are being judged because it can be painful. I’ve seen girls cry, I have personally let nerves get the best of me in a competition and I have seen a lot of hurt feelings. So if you do it, do it for fun and don’t let the seriousness of it take away your joy of pole dancing.

Karol does a great pencil spin into chopper which is how I figured out getting upside down in spin mode.
As an overall rule that I have – Spin mode takes more time to get into things, so a basic static choper takes say 1 second, on spin it takes like 5-10 seconds. I think you work mush harder on spin but the benefit is everything isn’t so instantaneus.
I’m just beginning to work with spin more and I kind of like that I can’t get through 100 tricks for every dance, I like the time it takes to transition and hold something…but it does take a ton more strength.

The best seats in the house are never at the rail – so don’t sit there. I am shocked he didn’t directly sue the club seeing as the seats were obviously too close to the pole which puts patrons in danger. I am shocked this guy was able to get anything from the dancer.

Yeah, I say dance to what moves you and what fits your mood. I would hate to not perform or dance to something just because Felix did. And if I do perform to something a popular dancer did, I am doing it because it’s what I want to dance not because they brought my attention to the song.
And for my next performance – Aenima! Love me some Tool!

Have you tried acetone? Acetone usually gets everything alcohol can’t. Have also heard of using vodka too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I 100% agree with Veena, climbing is a strength building exercise and a conditioner, I know we use climbing as a move but before it’s a move it’s a good way to get strong. Climbing might take a long time and that is so okay. There are a lot of more basic static poses you can do close to the ground https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
With your sit, as tine says try different types of sits because the "basic sit" can’t be done by everyone. If you have thick thighs or really skinny thighs the basic sit is hard … if you’re thick then it’s difficult to get one leg over the other and if your thighs are too skinny it’s hard to squeeze them together and actually sit there.
These are not necessarily beginner moves. I think of beginner moves as something that can be picked up in theory relatively quickly where as sits and climbs take time and conditioning. I teach them fairly early on but I don’t expect perople to be really good with them, not like a fireman where by the end of class everyone can do it.

Laizydaizy has great advice. This one was super tough for me too. I worked on getting a really good fast static helicopter spin beforeI went back to the spinning mode and that seemed to help a lot.

@ Empy…Well…I sew like I knit, not sure I have ever finished a project to date https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

And 100% worth it too! Even if you can’t do the whole year just to have them for a month or two is great!

I love you Fleur, you always say the things I am afraid might not sound right coming out of me.
Yes, seriously think about why you want to compete. If it’s because you’d like to perform I highly recommend getting together people in your area and doing a showcase.
As Empy said – if you miss a trick in a showcase the crowd will cheer for you to try it again. If you miss something in a comp, it’s devastating. I’ve seen people cry. I have held friends and comforted them after making a mistake, I myself made many mistakes and cried about it for about 11 hours. If weren’t for some very good friends *Empy* *Fleur* *Karol* I’d probably never even think of competing again.
To echo what has been said above, please do your research on people and companies before you put yourself at their mercy. Talk to previous competitors if that applies. You should be able to email and ask questions BEFORE you compete. I think it’s very important that organizers be ready for every stupid little question and be ready with a quick answer in a decent amount of time. Trust me, I asked some stupid ones, I am sure I was a chore of a competitor. But if you feel the need to ask the organizers should be giving you answeres.

Sexy! I especially LOVE the chopsticks!

Congrats everyone! I am so happy for all of you!
@Bace, I know there were required elelments and a compulsory round so I assume a lot of the judging was based on that round and those things.

Hi! I mean that the adjustor rod might be be too tight therefor the whole pole is just to tight into the ceiling.
