Many request Feedback from performances from our competitions

We provide feedback as a way of highlighting areas for improvement based on the Miss Pole Dance rules and regulations which have three areas of performance. It is not feedback on your personality or you as a person directly.

We understand feedback is not always welcome by everyone, however we provide feedback in a positive manner, focusing on areas of improvements and what was good about your performance, and what you must keep on doing in the future.  Remember this feedback is based on what the judges see during your performance only

We aim to make the feedback constructive, honest and of benefit, if you wish to go on and enter more competitions

The presentation – the story, the flow, the costumes, makeup and hair

The dance and fitness performance – elegance, balance, poise, choreography, strength, stage presence, variants of moves, choice of music and interpretation

Pole Tricks - Originality of the tricks and combinations of the tricks, within the competition, level of difficulty, flexibility on and off the poles, pole flow, execution of tricks, control during lifts, straight lines etc.

We wish you all a safe and fun time at Miss Pole Dance on Saturday and remember to enjoy your moment, where egos are allowed and pole characters are born

Spin yourself out of depression - with Crawley Pole Fitness

Pole fitness Classes in Crawley are wishing to challenge doctors - rather than prescribing anti depressants send them along to a one hour pole fitness class at Nuffield's Health & Wellbeing centre  for free.

By working on posture, deportment, breathing and a sense of challenge and achievement we can make a difference to those who are feeling down and depressed.

Kay Penney owner and founder of Pole Passion, who started pole to help her 'snap' out of the depressive state after having her third child, is happy to support all those who feel they maybe on the slippery slope to sadness and depression.
' Building self esteem and feeling womanly is just two of the main reasons as to why I took it up over 10 years ago and i've never looked back.  Many of my students now describe their first pole session as a life changing time, especially that first pole spin which is like the leap of faith.'
