Some beautiful snaps of my 3rd Place performance at the Motor City Pole Dance Competition <3 All credit to Spilt Sugar (website on the watermark). I placed (despite messing up a compulsory move) and I’m feeling so inspired for my next performance :) I have had the most amazing weekend watching not only the competition but the hours of showcases of women all all styles and levels and I’m absolutely overflowing with inspiration. I’m so grateful to have been part of this. There is something magical about uniting people full of passion for their art.

I’ve also learned so much this weekend through my competition experience. It was far from a perfect performance, but it is leaps and bounds better than my first go at competing. I also had the chance to take an eye-opening exploratory workshop with Aerial Amy focusing on finding our identity and movement style as dancers and working with our natural flow that taught me SO much about the way I move and forced me to focus on things I never have in the past. This weekend has given me so much inspiration and so many tools to bring it to life. Can’t wait to perform again :)
