WATCH THE WINNING PERFORMANCE
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN Poling?
Since December 2022. I'm almost 2 years old!
IS THIS YOUR FIRST PERFORMANCE?
No.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST COMPETITION?
No.
WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS PERFORMANCE?
This is a love letter to my passion of drag and dancing. I was heavily inspired by Khristena's choreography. My main muse was the song itself, which was a recommendation from a friend.
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THIS COMPETITION?
I took a lot of Khristena's classes to prepare for the competition. I also did yoga every day to help with body and mind awareness.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT PERFORMING pole?
What I love most about performing pole is the community I get to share it with. As an artist who spends a lot of time daydreaming and planning my projects, it's so refreshing and humbling to be able to share my art baby to the world. I love seeing people's reactions and hearing their feelings about what they saw, because at the end of the day, it's art and it's meant to be seen and shared. I am most grateful that I can fully express my ideas on stage and let the story live.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SKILL/MOVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR YOUR UPCOMING PERFORMANCE?
My favorite part is the entire performance because I put a lot of thought and imagination into it. I am mostly excited to introduce my drag persona, Sasha Ferale!
WHAT GOALS ARE YOU AIMING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR?
I am working on improving the skills I already have as a dancer. I really want to take more heels sensual choreography and hopefully lead a class on it! I would love to teach choreography in the next year.
