Ani - Intermediate Pole (She/Her)

Since 2015.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST PERFORMANCE?
No..
IS THIS YOUR FIRST COMPETITION?
No.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT PERFORMING POLE?
I’ve become more secure and confident not only about my body but also about my discipline and perseverance. Since starting my pole journey, I’ve learned the importance of discipline and how the mind connects with the body to create motivation.
WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR THIS PERFORMANCE?
I realized that I wanted to enjoy the creative process and have fun while preparing my performance—from choosing the song to embracing the idea of connecting with the inner child inside me that wanted to dance.
HOW DID YOU PREPARE FOR THIS COMPETITION?
I competed for the first time a month ago and realized that I was too focused on making everything ‘perfect,’ which kept me from enjoying the process as much as I would have liked. I loved being on stage so much that I decided to compete again, but this time without the pressure I put on myself the first time.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SKILL/MOVEMENT THAT YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR YOUR UPCOMING PERFORMANCE?
Anything that requires flexibility.
WHAT GOALS ARE YOU AIMING TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR?
I would like to gain more fluidity in my movements, I'm always open to learn new skills!
