Advice and suggestions needed for my little video/contest!
Hello Fellow Poling Peeps~
I am entering a little contest in which I have only 30 seconds to be creative and original. My friend is helping me make this video and recorded me, but he does not know the world of poling and is seeing my videos from a cinematography/guy’s perspective. But I would like the opinion of seasoned performers and fellow polers.
During my filming session I did jade splits drop, superman, and Gemini (some intermediate to advanced tricks), but he did not choose to pick any of those tricks to include in the video because he liked my style and smile while doing very simple things like climbing the pole and my pirouettes, which he felt was more important than my technique. I guess I must have been looking tired or something when I was doing those tricks.
What do you think?? Is style, smile, and composition more important??? Or should I add tricks and more technique to my video submission???
Thanks so much <3

There is a typo in my first post that I don't know how to delete/edit, so I just reposted this again! So please read my second post. Thanks 🙂

Hi Barbie! I agree with you, if I were competing, I’d want to show my best and most impressive moves too. But if I were a judge, and I saw a gorgeous smile, that would really win me over. So if it were me, I’d do all the extreme moves but also show a few cutesy moves with a few smiles 😀 just show how much you love the sport!
