In the course of the past two years, most of us were forced to spend huge amounts of time with ourselves, getting to know us better and building confidence in the things we can do on our own. However important is to believe in one's self though, it is of the equal importance to build trust and cherish all the people who enabled and formed us as we are. Knowing one's self is appreciating the process and the people who guided, supported and inspired us to reach our full potential and becoming who we are.

"Performing the song “Bring me To Life” showing how alive sometimes a person makes us feel even when things turn difficult. When life forces you apart , love only grows stronger and meeting again is like being awake again, feeling like someone can see into your eyes like open doors, feeling like home.

"In an ideal world, a child(or an adult) on the autistic spectrum would be gently guided to navigate interpersonal situations with great ease. But we don’t live in an ideal world. We live in a world where autists commonly get labeled as non-verbal, shy and even problematic. A world which is not designed for neurodivergents.
Music serves as an integral tool and assists in socializing easily, improves speech & language and enhances confidence. It boosts mood, attention and behavior. Music is fun, engaging and interactive. Music creates rhythm and routine in an atmosphere which seems frustratingly fast-paced and broken.
I am but a wannabe psychologist trying to bring forth discourse from the labs to the stage and striving for that little impact of change everybody keeps harping about."

"My performance is about unrequited love.
My life is empty and tiring without a matching soul. Everything in life changes with the beauty of love, its warmth and happiness. However, this is only an amazing feeling if it is reciprocate. In my performance I would like to prove that I am worth of love back.
‘My heart is strong and I can love for the both of us’ (as the singer Salvador Sobral says in his song). "

The life of a dancer is not easy. The physical demands you put your body through are outrageous. This eventually has a huge emotional effect on you. The exhaustion, the injuries. So, why do it? There is nothing on earth that can replace the rush of adrenalin when you are standing in the wings. When you move across a floor and feel the closest to flying possible without wings. When you see thousands of eyes on you because you have honed the skill of using the greatest tool ever, your body. Dancers don’t choose to dance, they HAVE to dance. Movement is as vital as oxygen. Without it there’s no point.

My routine is about a girl breaking her heart after her lover left her. The struggle between accepting the fact that the lover has left her already, and lying to herself may be he/she has no choice and he/she still loved her. She doesn't know what to do but let her heart bleed. She is trying to be strong, trying to protect her pride, but she cannot help herself. This routine contains a lot of static rotation and lyrical flow to make this a flowy routine, thus presenting the girl's struggle and grief. Starting on top of the pole, tumbling down to the floor, then back to the spinny pole in the end, shows the up and down of her heart, and also shows her trying to face this with dignity but still crying.

"“Maddi is 27 years old and lives in Nottingham. She has been pole dancing on and off for 8 years and currently teaches at Twisted Pole. While pole dancing is now the love of Maddi’s life, Maddi also performed tap dancing for many years until she was 18 and, in this fusion piece, she hopes to showcase both of these styles of dance.
Maddi is taking you back to roaring 1920s America for a routine inspired by the hit musical Chicago. In this routine, Maddi has been touring the States with her hit doubles act, however after she found her pole sister doing doubles on a different kind of pole (Maddi’s boyfriend’s, to be precise), her Pole sister had an unfortunate accident during a doubles routine performing their signature move.
After trying the solo life for a while, Maddi has realised that all she wants is to bring back her double act, however after the tragic accident, she is performing today in the hope of recruiting a new doubles partner.”"

Here we have Patsy Stone, the chain smoking alcoholic from Absolutely Fabulous. It turns out she can do a bit of pole dancing and since she's had half a bottle of vodka and 2 glasses of Champagne backstage, she's feeling a bit brave sweetie darlings! She's not very flexible and her skin conditioning isn't what it could be but alcohol dulls the pain. Patsy has this message for you all: In a world filled with Kardashians, be a Patsy darlings!

"Laura and Cassie are from North Wales and train at Aerial Sports with their amazing instructor, Jade. They ventured into amateur doubles competitions the year before covid hit. They were having so much fun making shapes with each other, especially when they resembled rotisserie chickens!!
Batgirl and Supergirl are tired of living in the shadow of the boys and are starting to question whether heroes really exist at all?
Deciding to breakaway they travel far from the troubled cities of Gotham and Metropolis in search of a fresh start. But they are just two girls out on their own! What would happen if disaster struck? Remember Kryptonians and Bats are a match made in super hero heaven, right?!
Holy pole grip batgirl, this town needs us! We could be heroes!! We could all be our own hero."

"""Hounds Of Love
What if red riding hood stopped running? What if her relationship with the big bad wolf was not as it seemed?
What if she wasn’t afraid of the big bad wolf?
Act 1. Depicts the theme of Fear. Red riding hood finds herself in the dark forest, running from baying hounds with only her cape to protect her. Exhaustion eventually overcoming her.
In Act 2 Red Riding Hood finds her Strength
She awakes and finds she has the strength to climb a nearby tree and call for help. From her new vantage point she sees her world for the first time in colour, including the wolf who now presents itself as a fox.
In Act 3, Red Riding Hood discovers Intimacy
The wolf takes her on a journey through the fallen leaves. One of intimacy, trust, and connectedness. Without her cape to hide behind, she is exposed to his darkness as it shines.
Act 4 is the The Dance
In her final act, Red riding hood reconnects to her inner child. Spinning through the forest in innocent playful dance. Act 4 represents the joy and spirit of contentedness between body and mind. The enjoyment that comes from a life that is lived in the moment.
Hounds of Love tells the story of red riding hood, her relationship with the big bad wolf, and the journey they take together in the dark forest. It is dedicated to anyone who has learned to, or is learning to dance with their own big bad wolf: your darkness is shining. "

This performance is inspired by the movie "Hustler" of Jennifer Lopez which tells an empowering story of strip-tease dancers in the United States. As I was very inspired by this movie to do erotic dances, I want to show the confidence and proudness of a female that is performing in this style. Selling a beautiful and charismatic image is nothing to be ashamed of, and I want to protrait a positive and powerful image of an erotic dancer. In the choreography, I am a star erotic dancer in a club that "get what she wants" just like Jennifer's role in the movie, and I hope that it can be another illustration of new era's "girl boss".

That was until she saw that pair of shiny, luscious red boots. She wants them. She needs them and the boots want her too.
She can't resist... However, she becomes possessed by the shoes!
The boots take her soul - a new ""her"" was unleashed. A sultry, voluptuous woman was born.
Like anything in life, these boots come with a price - she is condemned to dance until her legs can't move anymore. "

As a wedding present, Zeus gave Pandora a box but warned her never to open it. Pandora, who was created to be curious, couldn’t stay away from the box and the urge to open it overcame her. Horrible things flew out of the box including greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war, and death. All of life’s miseries had been let out into the world. Pandora slammed the lid of the box back down. The last thing remaining inside of the box was hope. Ever since, humans have been able to hold onto this hope in order to survive the wickedness that Pandora had let out.

"The story starts with a girl being inspired by her parents in her early childhood to pursue professional ballroom dancing.
She was practising for many years, making good progress, but it all changed when she found herself without a partner.
What made her feel whole was gone.
She was close to giving up on everything, feeling betrayed and lost.
However, her luck turned and fate was smiling back upon her when she discovered Pole dancing.
She felt so drawn into this new world and felt that once again she has found the joy and love of dancing.
She was ready to embark on a new journey that would change her life forever.
Her motto - ""You have to keep on believing in yourself and to never forget who you really are and where you are going."
