From Bella Monnery
1. How did you get into pole
I organised a party for my birthday…. I was looking for something a little different and fun!
It was so much fun, I started class’s the next week and fell in love with Pole Fitness.

2. Why pole and not the gym
I actually do both, and more.
Pole on it’s own is an amazing sport, that builds strength, flexibility, confidence and balance whilst learning a fun new skill.
I’ve belonged to the gym for a long time and still go 2 or 3 times a week.
I’ve been doing martial arts since 2001, specialising in Kick-boxing, training and instructing for many years now.
I have also trained in Boxing, K1, Chinese Boxing, MMA and Tae Kwondo. I enjoy running and challenging myself, and I have entered a few races now. My biggest being Tough Mudder last year.

Doing all this other training helped me progress quickly. I wanted to share this great sport and encourage others to take up Pole Fitness. So I took the foundation training in 2013, Advanced training in 2014 and began teaching and have never looked back!

3. What’s your favourite move
I have many, but I do enjoy the splits moves so Russian Splits is at the top!

4. Sexy or fitness or both?
Fitness, I love all the strength and flexibility moves.
Since joining the pole Passion team, my love of the sport has grown even more.

I Regularly help at the Miss Pole Dance UK competitions and love attending and teaching at Pole Passions week long,  Budapest Pole training Retreat every year.

Pole Passion Instructors are friendly, passionate, approachable and fully qualified to advanced teacher training standards and receive ongoing instructor training and support to keep class content fresh and safe.

FOUR WAYS FOR POLE INSTRUCTOR TRAINING COURSE SUCCESS www.polepassion.com

FOUR WAYS FOR POLE  INSTRUCTOR TRAINING COURSE SUCCESS

MANAGE YOUR TIME WISELY
Whether you have chosen to invest in a course you attend in person or whether you have opted for online home study package make sure you have allowed enough preparations and study time of the materials supplied
This of course will vary from person to person but by a guide allow minimum 16 hours study.  Of course your learning never stops but initially before the exam allow this time  minimum to prepare for your course.
Map out how many hours you can commit to your studies each week, and write on a calendar or journal what you actually plan to accomplish. Be realistic. And remember that you’re more likely to meet your goals if you write them down. Do not feel defeated if you are not able to study for hours on end. Whether you dedicate one to two hours, or 30 minutes daily to your studies, make the most of that time.

STUDYING THE CONTENT
Allow time to read and practice the moves for yourself
Then allow additional time in focusing on the words that you will be using whilst teaching
This for many this is the hardest part of transitioning from student to instructor status using the correct terminology including the muscle names correctly

USE YOUR RESOURCES
We all learn differently. Whether you are a visual, auditory or tactile/kinaesthetic learner, there is something for everyone. Recognize your personal learning style and use it to your advantage. This we cover on the courses too.  Use the social media YouTube and visual aids to learn to break down the moves and combinations paying particular attending to and feet body alignments and head positions in all the moves you seen – begin to break down the technicalities of the moves too

ASK FOR HELP
This is so important. No one knows everything, and we are all constantly learning in this relatively new concept of exercise, so please do not be afraid to ask for assistance. Trying to navigate through this experience can be daunting, especially if this is a new career for you. Remember that you have support throughout your course process, and even after you are a certified pole fitness professional. Our trainers assessors and course staff are dedicated to helping you achieve success, so make the most of our expertise and experience and we look forward to supporting you as long as you need us.

How to create your perfect Pole Passion Grading Routine - www.polepassion.com choreography

How to create your perfect Pole Passion Grading Routine

Combining your moves into a routine is a skill, it’s choreography and this sometimes doesn’t come naturally to everyone.  So if  even the thought of choreographing a routine frightens you then ask for help. It may not be as daunting as you think when it broken down as below

1. KNOW YOUR MOVES


Make sure you know your syllabus well and the names of all the moves
You should have been practicing these moves lots in your class
Remember you can not do a move higher than your level – this is always challenging if you have been poling a long while but only new to the grading routines

2. MUSIC

Think about your music carefully – Feel it from within
It certainly shows if you don't - if in any doubt don't use it. It's not the right choice of music if you have doubts - and never let someone else pick your music (it's ok that they help and advise, but ultimately it's your choice)
This can take a while for many people even the professionals!! So give yourself plenty of time
Down load it to your phone or iPod ideally and again make sure this is done well in advance of the grading day



3. YOUR ROUTINE

Think about your linking moves and style, the filler moves and even some floor work!  -  Good routines are made up of many different elements
It's not just about the tricks tricks tricks so concentrate on those linking transitions too. Transitions in, out, around, up, down and from pole to pole is
Just as important as your tricks !
Count in 4’S and 8’s in time to the music, the beat and the flow – you can even choreograph to the words too. Try printing out the lyrics of your song then write next to the words what moves you are going to do so its more methodical
You can even draw pictures using stick men or symbols, if words don’t work for you

4. CLOTHING

As crazy as it sounds do spend some time on this – At the grading you can only use fitness clothing but it has to fit well and you need to feel 100% comfortable wearing it and make sure its ready two days before so there is no mad last minute panics
  
5. RELAX 

This is easier than it sounds I know. 
Enjoying your performance is easier said than done But it is really over so quickly - if your routine or 'story' doesn't warrant a smile then please add one in at the end of your performance  - when you bow and say your 'thank you's for watching'
So many performers and competitors show their nerves, and not their passion for dance and the pole - The assessors and audience need to be wowed within the first 15 seconds of  your performance if possible !!

6. POSTURE & ALIGNMENT 

This one you will know!!
But please if this is a problem of yours, say it over and over again in your head during your routine -
'POINT YOUR TOES Extend your limbs' including concentrate on your fingers too!!


7.  FLEXIBILITY & STRETCH 

Focus on your flexibility  - This is such an important part  of modern pole routines. This means correct preparation warm ups and cool downs, not only on the day of the completion but the weeks before and weeks after!
You should be allowing at least 20 minutes preparation stretch before it's your turn on the poles (many of the champions will be warming and stretching for 2 hours prior!!)

8. EMOTION & EYE CONTACT  

Engage with your audience and assessors if possible
This is simple and can be done with eye contact, facial expressions and hands reaching towards them pulling them back into your body and your performance and emotion!!!

9. CONTROL YOUR BREATHING   

Breathe!
An excellent performance not only leaves the performer breathless but the assessors AND  audience too
Give all the power and energy you have got even on the shorter routines too

10. ATTENTION TO DETAIL 

It's the little details that matter too
Practice and get someone truthful to critique your performance - get them to find 10 things for you to improve on !

11. MINDSET  

Have fun and look at it as a performance not a grading
Most importantly remember the qualities of an excellent performer are very different to that of an excellent instructor or student
The skills and mindset are very different, MEDITATION AND VISUALISATION ARE EXCELLENT preparation skills for a champion on the pole :)



12. MOST IMPORTANTLY 

Check the website for the rules and guidelines of the music an length of your routines and if in doubt speak with your instructor  and ask lots of questions

Enjoy yourself, Meet new people, Be safe, Train Safe...remember every challenge is a growth step forward.


PRACTICE ~ PRACTICE ~ PRACTICE
