Move Syntax Coordinator World Pole Sport & Fitness 2011 Budapest

Pippa Caesar has been awarded this role this year in Budapest a very important position in the finals category for the female and male Pole championships

Move Syntax Coordinator - This position is for the WORLD FINALS ONLY in all categories
This position was successfully introduced last year and held by Deb Riley

This job will be challenging as the whole routine from start to finish is watched without a blink (almost)!!!
So being able to write down the moves as they are performed is challenging - Knowing the names of the moves is essential or being able to describe an unknown move/transition with speed – this may be a variation of a move also.
the moves are graded and marked out of 5 - 5 being the highest mark depending on technicalities of the sport

Obviously the industry has lots of different names for many of the same moves
Some moves are combinations of two moves which may be called a new name!
However as long as we use the same format and name for each contestant during the competition that is the main thing.
this position, on the judging panel, does not include judging the presentation or dance/fitness elements of the candidate’s performance just purely on the Tricks category

All other judges will judge all other categories and also the tricks category

Execution of moves (safely and effectively) must be considered when marking and listing the moves down!

The job responsibility is to look for any new moves / pole poses etc. and to label them?!! And document them – Making History

There is an award BEST TRICKS too
From the documentation collected and the rest of the judge’s scores collaboration, the winner will be chosen .
This award will be decided during the judge’s deliberation after all the competitors have competed

The documented information will also be used in the case of a ‘pole down’ whereby two same winners may have the same points - the tricks score will decide the winner.

The amount of different moves will be counted; also duplication of moves will also be noted
The one with more moves will be judged higher than that person with less moves - This will only be used during the deliberation process in the event there is a tie and not during the initial judging process in accordance to the main rules and regulations.

The written information will be collected at the end of every competition

NEW world champion soon to be crowned - Budapest 2011 October 1st dont miss it

Pole Passion members of the Register of Exercise Professionals are firm believers that pole fitness has now been accepted as a reputable form of fitness, so much so they are in full support of the petition pushing for the 2016 Olympic games to feature the controversial sport.

With World Pole Sport and Fitness 2011 championships just around the corner , created and organized by Pole Passion Director Kay Penney 45 year old fitness professional and mother of three and her hard working team in the UK , Switzerland and host country this year in Budapest incorporating 26 countries with a record number of professional contestants in the three categories female single, male single and for the first time on a world stage, synchronized doubles

Pole dance and fitness, an art that requires balance, strength, flexibility, coordination, rhythm, fluidity, grace, poise, and if it’s done right, it can tone up just about every muscle in the body. It’s no surprise then that it’s becoming so popular. All across Britain, both men and women are swapping their Pilates mats and exercise bikes for an Rpole, the portable free standing pole that means you can now do it any where!!! specifically designed for the gym environment

This fitness sport is now seen globally as a combination of dance fitness and gymnastics by professionals all over the world and physically and mentally an excellent form of exercise

The Portable Free Standing Rpole - History of Pole Fitness & Dance Pole

The portable free standing Rpole



The history, the reasons why the pole was created

In 2005 pole fitness was now borne and thriving, my fitness programmes were in development, documented and student registration was on the increase, but something was missing………………. It was a pole that could be put up with ease, that I indeed felt safe on and one where I would feel sexy on too.
Without breaking a nail in the process without breaking out in a sweat whilst trying to erect the darn thing without fighting with spanners and step ladder or falling off a metallic podium whilst clonking my heels .

It was a vision to create a pole similar to that of a step that I often used for my fitness regime – maybe even a portable gym could be created on and around the design?

We (my husband Steve Penney and I) spend many hours exploring our creative ideas with passion and determination with a view of, if people can fly to the moon we can create a free standing pole with no ceiling or ground fixtures that would balance, be safe, yet light enough to be transported by the female instructor without injuring their back or straining a muscle before their teaching, with no tools, no manly mechanics, but pure elegance, sleekness.

I have never been so excited to see the boss (the central component) in manufacturer. For the first time in my life I could see how people are passionate about metal work!!
Our UK manufactured pole was a reality after hours of prototyping. - One of our first expeditions being explored by the worlds greatest at the inaugural World Pole Dance championships in Jamaica in 2009 of Felix Cane - Australia, Pantera Blacksmith USA , Alesia Vazmitsel UK, Tammy Morris Canada, Tracey Simmonds UK, Deb Riley UK to name a few.

Never had a free standing pole - flush to the floor without a stage or podium been developed and what’s more endorsed internationally.

It was actually a mistake our pole was always going to be a 50mm diameter (most popularly used here in the UK) but on the morning of the launch the pole (or boss) maybe had swollen during the international travel to Jamaica maybe it was the humidity!! But later learnt there is a difference between a 2inch and 50mm diameter (technical manly details!! Who knows ) however we had no choice but to use the 38mm as our demo model as the 50mm did not fit!

It was immediately loved by all, finding tricks more easily to execute with the smaller, more comfortable and secure hand grip – a revolution was identified

That was nearly 2 and half years ago and with continual progressions and development 24/7 the Rpole play is now the most light weight and portable pole on the market IN THE WORLD allowing all polers to pole where ever they want, whenever they want, however they want , challenging themselves to the extreme, developing core strength to its maximum with the slight movements challenging the inner core muscles more, just like Kat from Nottingham UK did here when she decided to climb up Ben Nevis, this summer, the highest mountain in the UK, with her Rpole play securely strapped to her back all the way – she even managed to do a short demo at the top much to the humour and amazement of fellow climbers!!

Im happy to share this clip with you – Kat my new friend and new inspiration into my pole world (now in my 10th year) will be developing new innovative ideas for the pole and our government approved REP’s accredited instructor training – that is one thing I love about poling you meet amazing people, seemingly from nowhere, every week of your life.

Kat being into extreme sports is not your stereo typical pole dancer, she is in fact a university lecturer, a doctor of psychology PhD – not your normal lecturer either!!
