She posted on the WikiPole forum asking did anyone have any information about this event other than what she has already posted on WikiPole at http://www.triagedesign.co.uk/wikipole/index.php5?title=Pole-A-Palooza and I was wondeirng if anyone on here knew anything about it? We’d really appreciate any info, thanks

I went to Pole a palooza. I thought it was a waste, there were a few good moves, Danielle Watts rocked, but overall they only let the contestants dance for like 20 seconds or less, so they have to pop out a few good moves real quick and get off the stage. The Bank club was ridiculous! It took forever to get in, they acted like they were all important and high class. The servers were rude.
We stood for 3 hours waiting until pole a palooza started and it was short lived and they took an hour break in between the rounds, and security was really tight so when I tried to record they kept threatening to take away my camera, but I still recorded some. If you look in the video section here on this site you’ll see the videos I posted from the event. Overall I would NEVER go back to pole a palooza unless I was actually competing, but then again I probably would never compete in this competition because I thought it was a joke.

I made a post about the recent PoleaPalooza and I think it’s under the heading "Events" or "Competitions".
While I didn’t think of it like a joke, I totally agree with Keilloces on many of her points. The security was kind of tight but they didn’t bother the tables much–they did ask my friend to stop filming but didn’t threaten to take her camera away. And the wait was awful, but I was prepared for that. There were 18 girls competing so that’s probably why they kept the routines down to 1 minute or so. I was also prepared for the wait in between the rounds so that didn’t bother me so much. Overall, I was generally impressed with the skills. Even with the poor girl who fell off the pole. I also had met 1 of the competitors and saw her practicing several weeks prior to the event and some of the girls were affiliated with the studio where I take class, so I had a pretty good time. Maybe the caliber of dancing has changed because they lowered the prize money–I think last year it was something crazy like $10,000 and this time it was $7000??? Not sure about that. I had fun, despite the smoke. I would definitely go back.
