Posing is my BIGGEST concern when it comes on stage... I could have THE best package (I am by no means saying I will) but not show it through bad posing. Likewise I could have an okay package, but make it appear ten times better through fantastic posing.
I also have a massive fear of falling over, slipping, ankle turning over etc etc on stage - so practicing is CRUCIAL.
I already have my posing shoes - 4.5 inches high & 0.25 inch front 'platform' according to UKBFF new regulations - with clear straps & stiletto heels. Surpriiiiisingly comfortable & relatively easy to walk in (purchased off Fabulicious on Ebay). So have been attempting to practice my walk & quarter turns.
I've watched many a video of Nicole Wilkins, Candice Keene, Alicia Coates... & the list goes on - but I think I am going to struggle most with the transitions between quarter turns. The flow from one pose to the next. But practice makes proficient & presentation is key.
I intend to attend a posing class or two prior to my show (dates for half days & full day poses classes can be found on the UKBFF Facebook page, £50 half a day - just posing - & £95 full day - regulations, posing & presentation) to get some feedback from those best in the know. As well as going to see shows, including BodyPower & possibly NABBA shows.
Recently I purchased the Women's Pre Contest Bible & read that Nicole Wilkins practices for 20 + minutes 4 times a week - so I better get my practice on! Especially to get that smile in check... I currently have a terrible creepy nervous smile going on...
