Winner: Felix Cane- Australia
Felix Cane took the World Pole Dance Championship first place home with her again!
This girl is still at the top of her game, she executed all her moves with grace and strong energy towards the audience.
She wore a rocky costume, with a skirt and jacket which she later removed and beautiful gemmed up shoes.
As soon as she entered on to the stage, she lit up with her expression and confidence as she danced and rocked out to “Knights of Cydonia” by Muse.
The lyrics to this song suited Felix perfectly as they had in them “the time has come to make things right”, meaning Felix meant business as she was coming back to take her crown home as the winning champion. What an athlete she is!
2nd Place: Maria Escalante- Argentina
Maria with her unique presentation Latino style pole dance routine.
Showing a very strong, confident routine, with perfect choreography, demonstration of beautiful lines and flexibility.
Her expression was sexy and also fierce as she connected with the audience and judges.
3rd Place: Rafaela Montanaro- Brazil
Rafaela wowed the audience and judges with her strong powerful routine, as well as her muscular athletic figure.
Her moves were executed with such strength and power and she had the flexibility to go with it too.
Best Costume Award: Alesia Vazmitsel- UK
Alesia’s costume was beautiful and fun at the same time.
She came on to the stage dressed as a martini class with a giant head piece of a sliced orange on her head.
She had the audience’s attention straight away, as she cheekily walked around the stage poking her head out the top of her martini glass style costume.
She then removed the martini glass and the orange head piece to reveal a beautiful red sparkling costume to perform the rest of her routine in.
This girl knows how to please and wow an audience!
Best Entertainer Award: Crystal Lai- Canada
Crystal’s routine had a bit of everything in it, from poses, drops and combination tricks.
Her routine was fun and up beat all the way through and it also included the classic club track “Let me think about it”, which involved a great beat which got the audience going and clapping throughout.
She looked like she was having so much fun on stage and her costume was a simple blue sparkly bikini style costume which suited this high energy, fun routine.
Best Tricks Award: Rafaela Montanaro- Brazil
Not only did this girl win 3rd place, but also won the tricks award too.
Her tricks were so strong and precise and a massive variety of slow controlled tricks to fast combination ones.
