Danielle Judging A Competition

Being a judge on Saturday 12th March 2016 for Welsh Dragon University Pole Competition was an amazing experience.

Welsh Dragon University Competition was made up of competitors from Cardiff University, Swansea University and Bangor University.

There were 3 levels - Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced, along side a Doubles category as well.

The competition was extremely high and all contestants had fantastic techniques for their levels and I could really see some of the girls from the advanced category going into becoming a professional competitor at Pole.

The organisers for the event were brilliant and always kept you up to date leading up to the event with weekly emails and the event was very well organised and everything went to plan and like clockwork during the competition.

It's definitely something that I would do again and judge more competitions.

It's exciting that Pole Sport is now being recognised as a sport and this is the first year that is will be in the Varsity University Sport.

It makes me proud to have been in this industry for so long and now have people's views change and appreciate it as a physical sport.

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for each and every one of you who brings your passion and energy to our dance studio. Your dedication and enthusiasm make our community vibrant and thriving! We believe that having a variety of experiences and perspectives is essential for growth, both as dancers and as individuals. That's why we want to encourage you to explore and expand your dance journey beyond the comfort of the teacher and class that you love. We recognize the value of seeking out different teachers and classes to broaden your horizons. Trying new teachers, styles, techniques and approaches can enrich your dance experience and help you discover new talents and interests. Remember, other teachers might show you something in a different way than your regular teacher, offering fresh insights and perspectives that can deepen your understanding and appreciation of pole dance. So, to all our wonderful students, we want you to know that it's absolutely okay to explore other teachers and classes. In fact, we encourage it! We want you to feel empowered to seek out opportunities that inspire and challenge you. And to our dedicated instructors, thank you for creating a supportive and nurturing environment where students feel encouraged to grow and explore. Your passion and dedication are what make our dance studio truly special. Let's continue to support each other on our dance journeys and celebrate the diversity and richness of our dance community! #DanceFamily #ExploreAndGrow #DanceJourney

Anyone who knows me , I love my fitness , June this year I decided to take the plunge and try something new and challenging. I decided to try Pole Fitness, I did have reservations thinking I'm a 44 year old woman should I be doing this, but I convinced myself to give it a go...so i booked a taster lesson at https://www.poletwisters.co.uk/ and I loved it !! The confidence it has given me is tremendous, its massively helped with my anxiety,the benefits it has for your mental health and well being is fantastic,and body wise it's a great workout for your whole body . I was asked if I wanted to become a teacher, so October I took my very 1st class..who would of thought it ...not me ,never in a million years ,that in June I walked through those doors a anxious mess and now i'm a pole teacher ! I have met some lovely ladies and made some new friends along the way . So come along and see what pole can do for you,the confidence and passion its given me ... book your taster class and see where it leads https://www.poletwisters.co.uk/ #polefitness #polefit #bodyandmind #polesport #polelife
