I had to go through the same learning process anyone else has to go through to train for a pole dancing competition. Imagine the tip of the iceberg as the competition and then the vast chunky understructure of the iceberg as the pre-competition prep. There is so much that leads up to the competition day. Below is a list of just some of the things you need to think about pre-comp day.
Spinning around the pole, climbing up the pole, knowing how to shift your weight back and forth precisely to do a split upside down or a static hold. When you are watching an amateur dance on the pole, you have absolutely no idea of how many hours of practice have gone into that two-minute routine. I mean, pole dancing, sometimes called pole fitness. Currently, there are several organizations offering pole competitions across the U. I am not trying to discredit any other organizations. I am focusing on those two because I know the most about them. Pole Fitness held two events in, feeding athletes to the pole championships at the Arnold Sports Festival, and she brought pole competition to the Olympia Weekend. This season should be even bigger.
