It took me about 2 months of stretching 4 times a week please don't beat me up!!! I use a combination of Veena stretches, alethea stretches, and a few of my own. But my hip flexors are freakishly loose and when I lead my students through the stretch where you bring your knee to your chest I feel nothing. But to be honest if I didn't compete and see how valuable flexibility is for comps I wouldn't have worked to get them. I am not able to do them that well cold though unless I've stretched within a few hours. However after 5 beers at our employee christmas party I was doing the splits on the floor in the middle of the bar https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

A girl I competed with at Midwest (Dangerous) wore a white sweet vixen romper and she looked gorgeous in it so I'm sure the shorts are cute !

I know hookedonpole was looking for someone but she had a room booked already, but you can still try her, she's very sweet! I am not sure if I can go yet as I do makeup and that is prime wedding season!

I have a tote that X-Pole gave me for competing but it's not on their website so I can't link to it. It just has their logo and some silhouettes of polers on it but it's black so it matches my wardrobe since that's all I wear!!! I could stand for it to be a bit bigger (it's the size of one of those reusable shopping bags) but it helps me cut down on the crap I carry around so it's probably a good thing.

Thanks Trixie! I'll keep you girls posted 🙂
-
And thanks for all the advice!!! I am hoping it will be fine, just scary because I'm used to auditioning by video which is a million times less scary!

I am hoping to skate by on my smile and booty wiggles, that is usually how I get through other stressful times in life, such as speeding tickets or speaking in public https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oops I meant to say "why did the less advanced girl win"

Ok, I will tell you (and everyone) the NUMBER ONE thing for competition routines. I feel like this is one of the most important things to remember besides pointing your toes.
DO NOT do any move you cannot do perfectly, in your sleep, backwards, while you are knitting a sweater and cooking dinner for your family. I have heard so many pros and choreographers say this and it's so true. People would rather see a beginner move done perfectly, beautifully and effortlessly than a harder one done not as well. However, that being said I think you did great but I will also agree with whoever said it had a bit too many tricks. That is funny to me because I actually came in third in a competition where I could have placed higher but my routine didn't have enough tricks, the judges told me later! We had the exact opposite problem 🙂 But I thought you did amazing and I give major respect to anyone who competes, I only did a regional pole comp but the whole experience was way harder than I thought, but rewarding. What I said about about the difficulty level is probably the explanation 99% of the time when people ask "Why did the less advanced girl not win?!" It's really good you are asking for constructive criticism I should do the same with mine! In my eyes you are a winner just for competing 🙂

I have a lot of tips for fake eyelash application, I will write a blog about it for ya'll when I get some time!!!

I always want to do drops but I feel like I can't relax my body enough! They are so awesome though and I am super impressed by the girls that can do them. I wanted to do one when I competed but had never done one so i didn't want to try to rush to learn one in a short time. I will have to look into some tutorials and get going on it

I have to disagree pole dancers look better skinny and that statement actually offends me a little because I can do more advanced tricks than many of the thin girls I know, but I am not skinny, the curvy girls can do harder moves too.
I used to belly dance and taught group classes for two years. A lot of people have said they can see belly dance in my dance style sometimes so I think it would help you move for sure and help with your body awareness. And it's really fun too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
