Without any bias, Miss Pole Dance Australia is probably the most prestigious pole competition in the world. Every year, the standard just gets higher higher in regards to tricks, and refreshingly, this year there were few routines which not only had some amazing tricks, but also creative difference.
Don't get me wrong, I love the exotic style of pole dance but when your up there amongst 17 other just as great pole dancers, you want to have something that sets you apart and that's exactly what Taylor Grace had. Her routine is the one routine that I can remember part by part because it wasn't just a costume put to a random piece of music with cool tricks. Miss Taylor Grace came in third.
Cleo rocked! Coming in second, Cleo put on a "show" just like Taylor Grace; her performance was so entertaining and she really got the entire crowd going, even those who weren't barracking for her. Plus, it takes a lot of talent to be able to swing that guitar around whilst spinning upside down on a pole and still be able to catch it in front of you!
Taking out the title of course was Felix Cane, like I said before, I would have hated to have been competing this year, Felix is just... well... a freak of nature. Felix did her Worlds routine, albeit a little bit different. She was just as great despite being extremely jet lagged and having to perform last, know one else would of course have wanted to perform after her!
This year's MPD saw a lot of new girls taking to the stage and the one to look out for next year I think is Carlie. Even though she isn't new to the comp world, having just recently competed in APDC at Brisbane in August, I think she's definately going to put up some mea competition next year with that insane triple chopper!
MPD was also graced with Miss Suzie Q, now I might be a tad biased, but everytime I watch Suzie dance she makes me smile, and this year she made me cry! Besides Felix, Suzie has the most polished tricks, most powerful stage presence, but she even has the most creative, original, and entertaining theme shows.
It's funny reading all the post MPD facebook status updates, all with a common theme of being able to eat ice-cream and drink wine again. I won't get into what happened at the after party, but let's just say, when you've locked up a crazy party girl like Daisy for three months, when you let her out again, handstands in random laps is what you get. For Chelle however, post MPD meant going to the hospital (the day after the after party of course, she powered on for that!) - she danced with a septic knee - I think that alone deserves a title.
Here's the intro of the night which showed how massive MPD has become over just the last 5 years: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlyqmrxSWGs
