4. Balance: Making sure your number has a balance of the elements you will be judge on such as flexibility, creativity, use of spin and static poles equally, etc.
5. Stamina: If you can run it multiple times, even when you are tired, sick, etc, then you can do it once perfectly during the competition.
6. Performance: Making sure your story translates to the audience. Making the audience feel something. When to be internal, when to emote externally, etc.
7. Oh Sh*t moments: Preparing for anything that can happen. Pole doesn’t spin as fast. Pole too slippery, Music doesn’t start at the right time. Music cuts off. Forgetting a prop. The show must go on!!!
