Head Over Heels! Pole Dance Contest, Showcase & More!
Hi all!
I'm really excited to share a project that I have been working on with my fellow Aradia Fitness NC instructors as well as a little creative juju from Heather R from Studio X…
We are teaming up with a local nightclub in Raleigh, NC to bring a year-long series of women-only events called "Head Over Heels"! Head Over Heels was born out of several ideas:
– lack of competitions for TRUE pole amateurs (the average pole student)
– desire to showcase what pole dance fitness is REALLY about! We want to educate and inspire women in our area.
– create fun, exciting ladies night out opportunity where we get celebrate what it is to be a woman… beautiful, confident, sensual and empowered!
– of course an opportunity to get a little "retail therapy" in https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
It will be a five month series starting March 12, 2011. It will then run every other month and finish in November 2011. The pole competition each month will basically be a preliminary contest – 1st & 2nd place each month earn a spot in the final competition in November to win the title of "Miss Head Over Heels"! We are trying something different with applications… we'll have an open enrollment process (something like a 3-5 day window for email applications to be sent) and then do a random drawing to pick the month's 8 competitors.
Besides the competition portion, we will also do a showcase of pole instructors and have a mini-shopping expo featuring female-driven businesses in the Raleigh, NC area. The area will take place in the nightclub's VIP lounge, which includes a private bar, birds eye view of the club and female-only access for the event.
Again, we are really excited about this project and are inviting pole students everywhere to take part if they wish! If you live in or near the NC area we encourage you to attend. All the event announcements and evites are going to done through facebook. Check out the Fan Page for Head Over Heels for more details or to follow us throughout the year!

Hey Foxxy. I think this is great! I love how you emphasize "true pole amateurs". You're absolutely right–there's not a lot out there for the average pole student. Congratulations on making this happen! I'm really looking forward to hearing more about it.

Yes!! I love my students to death and they each have so much personality, innovativeness and style that it's a shame it never gets shared with the world… most are too intimated to try for one of the big competitions like USPDF, etc because WOW the competition is steep and there is so much incredible talent out there. Hopefully our local girls will really dig the idea and I am secretly hoping to get pole students from other pole studios in the state… it could be a small "battle of the pole studios" HAHA!
