Up for a challenge
05.05.05 (12:51 pm)   [edit]
With a "you should enter" from one of my dance instructors, I thought "okay."

There's an amateur pole dancing competition coming up next month, and now I'm officially entered. I toyed with the idea when I first heard about it and kind of forgot about it.

So now...my preparation will have to be just like what I did in my Getting Ready for the Stage workshop, but...more.

First, I'm going to find a slower song with a good beat that's about 5 minutes long. Even though it's a pole dance competition, it's about the whole routine, which includes floor work. I think I will concentrate on holds and a couple of spins I am better at and do a nice floor routine. I don't know if not doing upside stuff will be bad. I'd like to learn the helicopter in time.

Anyway, I just want to have the joy of this experience. I am not expecting to get into the finals. The twenty contestants will do a routine in front of judges privately, and the final five will compete in front of a bigger audience.

Second, I will have to find a costume. I don't want anything too costume-like...just something a little dressier than exercise shorts and t-shirt that will go with my platform shoes. I thought about wearing a hat, but since there is no stripping involved, I will just let me hair freeeeee.

I am kind of excited and nervous!

Good luck with the contest! I can't really think of any songs down tempo and 5 minutes long at the moment... :P

Closer by Nine Inch Nails has always been a favorite of mine...does the trick every time.

That is a great song! I am trying to find something that not a lot of people know.
