ポールフィットネス、ポールダンスについての日本語記事はずいぶん久しぶりになってしまいました。最後の投稿は、私がポールクラスに通い始めて1年が経った頃でした。当時は、まさか自分が世界選手権に出場することになるなんて、夢にも思っていませんでした。
ポールダンス大会は最初は記念に1回だけ出るつもりが、競技の世界に引き込まれ、これまでに4つの大会に計6回出場しました。
近年、競技化が急速に進んでいるポールダンスですが、ヒールスタイル、スポーツ、アートなど大会の種類は実にさまざまです。ルールや審査基準も大会によって大きく異なります。今回は、私がこれまで出場した大会についてざっくりまとめてみたいと思います。
気づけばブログをお休みしてから、もう3年近く経ってしまいました。今日は久しぶりに、簡単に近況をお伝えしようと思います。
I remember I was thinking about my first competition experience for a while.
Decompression from the competition was needed, but I could not stop thinking about the five months of training and my performance on stage. The whole competition process was physically and mentally demanding and I was exhausted, yet I couldn’t stop going back to the pole.
Regardless of ambivalence in performing, I took the plunge and decided to compete in a pole classique competition. I took private lessons once a week that began in April 2022 to prepare me for the big day in September. (Previous post: Competition Training Begins) Five months of training pushed me to the edge both physically and mentally. I felt like I had to search my soul for strength often. I put my heart into training. With support from my coach, husband, friends and the studio, I did everything I possibly could to prepare. Rehearsal was chaotic. To say it went bad, would be an understatement. My anxiety was off the charts the week before the completion. Finally, competition day arrived.
I decided to compete in a pole competition after taking pole classes for a little over a year. I did not feel I was ready to compete; however, I was more afraid to miss on a perfect opportunity.I started taking private lessons with my coach in April 2022. Then my competition challenge started.
I started taking pole fitness classes regularly starting January 2021. I achieved my goal of climbing to the top of a pole about three months after and then moved on to the next level which was level 2of classes. Level 2 class was my first big obstacle. I started learning upside down tricks such as laybacks and inverts. All those tricks seemed scary and impossible at first.
