Hi ladies - I know it's taken me a little longer than I wanted, but the CIARA dance routine (mostly used for Level 1 assessment dances) is now online.
It's not fantastic quality but I'm hoping it's enough to be helpful. I've talked you through each part of the beginning of the dance as I do in class, and then the rest of the dance is yours to complete. If you feel more comfortable, you can always repeat the moves I have given you again (if you're not feeling confident about choreographing for yourself) - or you can work in pairs or teams to make up dances.
As always, if there's any feedback at all you know it's more than welcome. I will try to record a better quality version at some point for you.
If you are one of the ladies working on the RIHANNA routine, Jemma and Angela will be posting a version of this online asap - hopefully this evening or tomorrow, so keep checking back.
The videos are available on my Facebook page (search 'Lucy Cropper PoleFitnessAcademy') or at our YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/polefitnessacademy.
Happy dancing!!

Get ready to DANCE!!!!
Hi ladies!
Just a very brief reminder that lots of you have your assessments this week…eek!!
Having seen lots of you practising recently, I have no doubts at all that you are going to be amazing – now all YOU have to do is BELIEVE IT!!
We will be doing shortened warm ups during these assessment sessions, and please remember that if you’d like copies of your dances once I have finished reviewing them, please bring me a blank CD and I will make copies for you. I can no longer upload videos by email or internet, sorry
Don’t forget to use whatever tools will give you more confidence, whether that be extra make-up, a special outfit, heels, or just an extra dose of self confidence. And don’t forget to bring your music!
Wishing you the very best of luck (which you don’t need!) and really looking forward to seeing you all ‘perform’ this week. Don’t forget, any questions or anxieties, just get in touch! We’ve all been there and most of us still get as nervous as we did on the day of our first dance!
Lots of pole love

PHOTO SHOOOOOT!!
Hey guys - yesterday the wonderful Sian Hudson (an ex-dancer of ours and great photographer) came to the studio and we (gratefully) interrupted our teacher training to have an amazing instructors photo shoot. Unfortunately some of our instructors weren't available due to the Bank Holiday weekend, but those of us that were there had a fab time - it's actually pretty hard to hold a pole pose for 30 seconds LOL!! And head shots.....urgh what a nightmare! The pictures will go on the new website once it goes live, along with a short biography of each instructor....I will let you know when!
I'd just like to thank Sian from the bottom of my heart and thank all the girls for their commitment and hard work yesterday. I really hope everyone is happy with their final shots - watch this space!
Thanks again, and Happy Bank Holiday!

IMPORTANT DATES FOR YOU
Hello ladies!! I know you’ve only just heard from me but I have some important news and dates for your diaries!
ASSESSMENT DATES
As lots of you will know, I have been waffling on about assessment dances for a few weeks. Just to confirm for some of you who have been on holidays or away, here are the dates for the venues that I teach.
Aylesbury
Monday classes 25th October
Bicester
Monday classes 6th September
Didcot
Sunday 3pm class: 29th August
Wednesday classes: 8th September
Witney
7pm class 31st August
8pm class 7th September
You will see that some dates have been moved back a week, just because I’m nice and wanted to give you all a little extra time!
For all other venues, please contact your instructor direct or email me and I will find out your next date for you J
BANK HOLIDAY CLOSURES
As you know we have an upcoming Bank Holiday. This means that some of our Monday classes will be cancelled as the Health Clubs are rarely open on Bank Holidays, or open with skeleton staff and for reduced hours.
Class at both Bicester and Aylesbury venues will NOT RUN on Monday 30th August. However, Pole Play will be available at both venues on the Sunday. Bicester ladies can attend any time on the Sunday as usual, and at Aylesbury the Nuffield Health Centre have kindly agreed to allow Pole Play between the hours of 12pm and 3pm on Sunday 29th August.
UPCOMING COMPETITIONS
October is competition month!! There are quite a few competitions during October, most important the World Pole Championships in Zurich (October 2nd), the British Isles Pole Championships in Essex (15th October) and the European Pole Championships, again in Essex (16th October). If you’d like more information on these competitions, you can google and get all the details, or check out www.pole2polemagazine.com for details of the two Essex Championships.
I’m hoping that lots of us will be going so perhaps nearer the time we could all be in contact and arrange to convoy down?!
Hope you are all well and practising hard!!
