We know that pole dancing can be a very addictive thing. The bruises turn into medals of honor, the scars can be your proud badge for a new trick and the aches and pains are a sign that you’re getting stronger. So to make our invite giveaway a little more interesting, we’ve come up with a few questions that will test your love for pole!

The first 15 people who can get 5 out of these 6 questions correctly will win an invitation to the Polecats Manila 3rd Year Anniversary Party! So hike up those sleeves kids, and start racking your brain for the answers!

1) Living in a hot and humid country can make it difficult to stick to the pole. So give us 3 different kinds of grip aids that can help you stay on for even the most difficult tricks!

2) Identify this trick: Side climb a few times, then hook your knee. Grab that ankle and hold on. Release the other hand and bend back as far as you can. If feeling stable, you may release the hand from the ankle.

3) When pole dancing, what is the one thing that you should NEVER, ever put on your body?

4) Identify this spin: From a half-bracket grip, hook your outer leg on the pole. As you spin, bring your other leg up behind the pole, knees apart. You can do this with one hand, and there is also an extended version.

5) Which international pole star is Polecats Manila bringing to the Philippines this November?

6) What is the name of the lovely Polecats Manila receptionist?

Alright folks, those are the questions, now give us the answers and hopefully we will see you at Teatrino on November 3! GO!

You Are Stellar!

Mara Andres is the Project Head of Stellar Year 2, Striptease teacher and founding member of Polecats Manila. Here’s how Stellar happened from her point of view

Days after the recital and everyone is still on a Stellar high. All of the photos and videos from last Saturday’s show are flooding Facebook timelines! I guess that just goes to show how successful our event was.

When our beloved PA, Raf Camus, checked how many people came to watch the show, guess what? Around 700 people were there that night. 700 people witnessed you pour your hearts out onstage. 700 people saw how strong you could all be and how talented you all are. 700 lives changed because of each and every single one of you — including mine.

I started conceptualizing as early as January, and I realized that I wanted to do a rock show. It fit the personalities of our students, because not only is rock so great to dance to, it also represents individuality and passion. There’s a rockstar in all of you and it was about time to unleash it.

And so, Stellar Year 2 was born.

April came quickly and that was when everything began to really pick up. All the classes were rehearsing their respective numbers and excitement was building up. We had to extend the deadline of Stellar signups because so many people wanted to be part of it, and we didn’t want to exclude anyone. Stellar, after all, is about YOU. It’s your show. We’re only here to set up the stage.

As rehearsals went on, it amazed me how you would get stronger every week. I was surprised when I learned that a lot of you would rehearse as early as 7 AM or as late as 11 PM. That showed passion and dedication and I admire you all because of that.

With each rehearsal you became better performers, and seeing you up on that stage blowing everyone’s minds away made everything worth it. All the bruises, sweat, tears and sleepless nights were all darn worth it because you made it so.

I apologize if I seemed a little distant during the show because I kept on running all over the place. I actually wish that I had gotten to talk to more of you during the summer. If I seemed a little strict (especially to my striptease students), it’s only because I want the best for you (wow, do I sound like a mother). All of your teachers want the best for you.

When I got home after the show, I was so overwhelmed that I burst into tears. We all worked so hard and sacrificed so much for this one night. We are so proud of each and every one of you.

Without you, this show would not have been a success. Without you, there would be no Stellar.

To the production team and our beloved sponsors, thank you for helping us make our dreams come true.

To everyone who came and supported us, we hope that you enjoyed the show.

To the Police, our biggest fans (you better be), we love you in a cheesy, mushy kind of way.

To the rest of the Polecats, thank you for giving me this opportunity.

To our students, thank you for being the stellar men and women that you are.

Thank you for helping us change the lives of so many people.
Thank you for changing mine.

Love,
Mara

It’s A Stellar Summer!

It’s almost Stellar day! It’s going to be an awesome night, so make sure you don’t miss it!:)

Ready to Take the Stage

The recital is just around the corner, and the students are becoming anxious as June 2 draws near. They want to give everyone a great show, and so they rent the studio after hours (sometimes, even before!) just so they can polish each move, perfect each trick, and train their toes to point beautifully on command. Most of them have never performed in front of a large crowd before, and they want their stage debut to be something they will never forget.

We want all of you to be there to witness this amazing moment in our students’ lives We fondly call them our Kittens and Tigers, and they have been working so hard to make sure they give you a rock show like no other! The costumes are ready, the shoes are broken in and their dances are complete. And now it’s your turn to be a part of it all.

Drop by our studio and grab yourself a ticket now! You can choose from P300, P500 and P800 tickets, but wherever it is you decide to sit, we guarantee you a show that’s all about the love of pole

 

Thank you again to our great sponsors who made all of this possible! We hope to see you all at the AFP theater on June 2
