Valentines Day Comp 2019
Held throughout February, the 2019 PhysiPole Valentine’s Day Competition was of no exception to this. Students from studios across Australia battled it out over two intense weekends in Warrnambool, Werribee, Rockhampton and Bendigo to be crowned into one of the sexiest Halls of Fame known to man and pole kind.
Despite being a jam-packed few weeks leading up to competition day, we managed to chat to some of our competitors to gain insight into what’s involved in preparing for the Valentine’s Day Competition and how students go about creating the perfect routine.
We took the time to speak to PhysiPole Grovedale regular, Jane Bailey, who not only competed in this years Valentine’s Day Competition in the singles division, but also placed 1st Runner Up with her doubles routine in Warrnambool. Having entered the competition to push herself beyond the boundaries of her comfort zone, Jane was both nervous and excited to channel her inner GODDESS. Jane and her partner, Mel, form the doubles act “Serendipity” and decided to perform their routine in a lyrical style to be “more sensual rather than out-right sexy.” Jane believes that the best part about participating in the 2019 Valentine’s Day Competition was the time she was able to spend with Mel, particularly during some of PhysiPole’s awesome doubles workshops. Jane says that once her and Mel were able to overcome the hurdle of actually getting started on their competition routine, they were able to easily bounce ideas off of each other throughout the choreography process.
