But IвЂ™ve refined the bird of paradise since my last comp, so maybe thatвЂ™s the new crowd pleaser! L: Leading up to a competition, what does a day in the life look like for you? I feel like the crowd always loves a good static dynamic movement like a punchfront or flying phoenix. L: What are your top 3 crowd pleaser moves? I love slowing my movement down and being gooey and fluid, it makes me feel like a flowy seaweed. Most people see my heels style which is usually dynamic and powerful, but my absolute favourite way to dance is to flow barefoot, closely followed by heels flow. M: I feel like I have a few dance styles up my sleeve. L: How would you describe your dancing style?

I canвЂ™t physically do the amount of run throughs that IвЂ™d like to be able to do, so visualising myself performing the movements to music is immensely helpful. I also find visualising to be very helpful. YouвЂ™re competing against yourself to be better than your last run through or your last comp, not anyone else because you canвЂ™t control what anyone else is doing.

If you concern yourself too much with comparing yourself to what everyone else is doing, youвЂ™ll turn into a ball of stress and negativity. M: The mental side of comp prep is crazy hard to manage! But my best advice is to stay in your lane. YouвЂ™ll come back feeling more refreshed and motivated for a better session! L: How can someone who has never competed before best-prepare themselves mentally for a pole comp? And finally, donвЂ™t overtrain! As much as you feel like you should be in the studio day in day out, sometimes you have to take a few days off. I need to cross train with gym work to keep an old back injury strong, but it absolutely keeps the rest of me together as well. I know gym isnвЂ™t for everyone, but some sort of prehab is absolutely essential. Several months prior to the comp IвЂ™ll be laying down good strength foundations and lifting heavier weights, and then closer to the comp, IвЂ™ll back off the high loads and it will become more of a maintenance program. It doesnвЂ™t always work out like that, but itвЂ™s ideal if it does! If I know what comps IвЂ™ll be entering throughout the year, I can also cater my gym program to the comp.

From there, I like to be running the routine in 2 chunks by 6 weeks out, and then by 4 weeks out, full runs. M: My preparation journey for a pole comp will usually start 8-12 weeks out, with experimenting with movement and combos.
