How to win a pole dance competition

To win a pole dance competition, it's important to put in consistent and dedicated practice.
Here are some tips to help you prepare for a Miss Pole Dance UK competition at any level:


1. Technique: Focus on mastering the fundamentals of pole dance, including proper grip, body alignment, and transitions between moves. Take classes from experienced instructors who can provide guidance and feedback.


2. Choreography: Creativity is key in pole dance competitions. Develop a unique and engaging routine that showcases your strengths and highlights your individual style. Choose music that complements your choreography and brings out your personality.


3. Strength and Flexibility: Pole dance requires strength, flexibility, and body control. Incorporate regular strength training exercises and stretching routines into your practice regimen to improve your overall athleticism and execution of moves.


4. Performance Skills: Work on your stage presence and performance skills. Focus on facial expressions, body language, and connecting with the audience. Practice performing your routine multiple times to build confidence and polish your presentation. May be at this stage get someone to be honest with you about your routine, with a view to constant improvement.


5. Mental Preparation: Stay focused, positive, and confident throughout your training and competition journey. Visualise yourself performing your routine flawlessly, and use positive affirmations to boost your self-belief. Manage any pre-competition nerves by practicing deep breathing exercises or meditation techniques, as they really do help.


Remember, winning isn't everything.

Enjoy the process,

Embrace the challenges, and 

Celebrate your progress along the way. 


Wishing you all Good luck!

Miss Pole Dance UK 2016/2017

12 year old pole dancer Mimi from Thatcham, is all set to perform at the professional championships at the Hawth Theatre at the annual Miss Pole Dance UK Championships, ON Saturday 7th October 2017 from 3pm - 10pm

Mimi first had her debut when she was just 9 years old at the Miss Pole Dance UK amateur/ semi professional championships. She first got into pole to overcome her stress and worry whilst her older brother was being bullied at school

Kay Penney from Pole Passion, the event organisers says, ‘Mimi is now a National Treasure and a youth ambassador for pole clothing Wink design and pole fitness and dance across the world and they identified her talent very early on when she was just 6 when she first started to pole dance under Ruth Vass.'

Mimi will be chaperoned by her mum, Kelly James who is her biggest fan

Miss Pole Dance UK was the UK’s first, largest and most successful National Pole Dance championships, with a vision to provide a professional and safe platform for the athlete to showcase their talent

This spectacular show at the Hawth is also home and host  to two other National competitions on the same day;   Mr Pole Fitness UK, for men on the pole and Miss Pole Dance UK Synchronised Doubles Championships.

In 2018 Miss Pole Dance will be introducing its Youth category for children who love to keep fit, dance and move around the pole for fitness and fun.  Backed by the World Pole Dance federation, the organiser Kay Penney, mother of three, says, ‘Its now time to embrace the children’s category for pole sport and fitness. Many parents, who currently pole have been asking me to induce the children category for years.’  - Kay is now finalising the instructor training for the youth category for her 40+ instructor and apprentice team following her training  programme where she currently has 15 ares of license operations across the world and most recently supported Romania in setting up their national championships too and now has her training ONLINE reaching countries such as China, Japan and the USA 

Kay and her team has been innovating  pole fitness techniques and its safe equipment since 2001 with its head office in Crawley the company and events are growing exponentially. She accredited her programmes with the Register of Exercise professionals in 2008 

A breathtaking and mesmerising celebration of elite pole sport artists and performers will host the show held over seven hours with over 20 top UK competitors and World Class Champion performers including Horsham based Fi Steps dance school and Rowena who has a a BA and MA in dance practices and her current research focus revolves around the cultural position of pole dance and how it challenges themes of empowerment and objectification.
