Charley, thank you so much for posting this! I so wanted to make the trip but just couldn't, so I didn't even allow myself to follow the threads much.
Well done, ladies!!!! I can't wait to get home tonight and watch me some videos! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Congratulations! I felt SO lucky to have been there and see so many I have "met" on SV compete in what was such a positive and supportive competition. Loved the variety of strengths, styles, and abilities represented within each division. Well done everyone!

Huge congrats, ladies!!!! And thanks, Meagan for the great recap. I love reading about how much camaderie happens backstage. People don't realize that there's actually very little backstabbing and cattiness at pole competitions (sometimes I think, much to their chagrin as they like envisioning it as some sort of taudry reality TV show backstage) and I love that one of the Elite competitors made everyone gift bags! All the ladies bond together over a highly intense and stressful situation that they're sharing together.
Looking forward to reading everyone else's recaps!
Also, did anyone attend Kelly Yvonne's seminar? How was it? (she's a close friend and my choreo coach.)

Hi all! What an fantastic weekend. Congratulations to all of the contestants. Everyone was amazing! (Actually, this is my first post ever as I just learned of this site at the competition.)
I did attend Kelly Yvonne's seminar. I enjoyed it very much. She did a great job explaining how a dance routine is a story, how all of the pieces fit together, and how to go about getting them there.

I was so bummed to miss Kelly's seminar but having worked with her on this competition – I have to say if anyone gets a chance to work with her do it! She really helped me a lot by challenging me to explain with my body what I was trying to say which for an untrained dancer like myself was an incredible experience.
Everyone was so amazing this weekend – every performance rocked.
This was a really supportive and fun loving group of women. Everyone was helping everyone get ready, giving each other a much needed ego boost before getting onstage and really just came together in full support of each other.
There were so many Veeners there and sadly I didn't get to meet everyone or even talkto Veena as long as I would have liked 🙁 I wish we could have stayed longer and that the weekend would have been longer.
The crowd was so full of love for everyone – cheering before we even started our music and routines. They were screaming their heads off the entire time.
Mary Ellyn and her crew were extremely organized and full lof love and laughter. This was an amazing experience for the competitors, judges and the crowd!

I have heard from many people that Kelly Yvonne's workshop was awesome. I wish I could have taken it but I had to get back on the road home. took collettes on marketing it was great!
Everything was freaking great, the people, the performers. Mary Ellyn did a fantastic job and her staff was wonderful. I was working Alethea' and Karols table most of the day so didn't get to talk with as many people as I would have liked but had a blast working the table as well.

Congratulations to the Veeners that placed! Which is to say, about half of the winners in total, awesome, hehe.
