The Scoring Secret: Why Strong Dancers Underscore

(And the 3-Step Strategy to Own the Podium Next Season)

 

Most pole dancers train for months…
 only to have their score sabotaged by things they didn’t even know were being tracked.

Bent knees.
Clunky transitions.
Rushed moments that felt fine in training  but quietly lost points on stage.

 

Join me on a live Session on January 31st, 2pm Taipei, As I break down how competitions are actually scored  and how to stop leaving points behind.

Why harder tricks often lead to lower scores

 

Here’s the myth most competitors believe:


“If I add harder tricks, my score will go up.”


In reality, judges don’t score effort.
They score execution, clarity, and control under pressure.


That’s why so many strong dancers leave the stage confused.


You trained harder.
You added difficulty.
But the feedback says “rushed,” “unclear,” or “lacked control.”


This isn’t because you’re not good enough.


It’s because difficulty without strategy exposes mistakes instead of hiding them.


In this training, I’ll show you why this happens and how to flip it.

Hi,  I'm Adam. 

 

A Taiwan-born, Aussie-raised, and unapologetically stage-obsessed.


I’ve spent the last 12+ years competing, performing, and coaching pole dancers around the world, not just to execute harder tricks, but to create moments that stay with judges long after the music stops.


I’m a three-time world champion and winner of titles including Pole Icons, Mr. Pole Dance World (x2), and Overall Champion at Pole Theatre UK & HK.


But here’s the truth most dancers don’t expect me to say:


I didn’t win because I was the most flexible.
I didn’t win because I had the hardest tricks.


I won because I learned how scoring actually works and how to design performances that read clearly, confidently, and powerfully under pressure.


Over the years, I’ve coached dancers at every level , first-time competitors, finalists, and podium finishers  and I’ve seen the same pattern repeat:


Talented dancers underscoring not because they lack skill, but because no one ever taught them how to train with judging in mind.


This webinar is where I share that lens.


Not theory.
Not hype.
Not “just feel it.”


But practical, judge-facing insight you can use immediately,  whether you’re preparing for your first comp or your next podium finish.


If you’ve ever walked off stage wondering


“What did the judges even want?”


You’re exactly who this session is for.

What you’ll learn in this live Webinar

In this webinar, you’ll learn how competition routines are actually evaluated and where most dancers lose points without realizing it. We’ll cover:

What judges notice in the first moments of your routine

Why strong dancers still score low despite clean tricks

How “stage presence” shows up inside the judging criteria

How execution, transitions, and timing influence scores more than difficulty

What makes judges stay with your performance instead of scanning for mistakes

When presence is strong, judges stay with you, even if a trick isn’t perfect.

When it's weak, every tiny mistake become visible.

 

This is what I call Main Character Energy. 


Not ego.
Not over performance.
But intentional presence that keeps the score moving in your favor.


This webinar will show you how presence works inside the judging criteria, not just as a vibe, so you’re no longer guessing after the fact.

You’ll also learn a simple, repeatable framework you can apply to any competition routine, regardless of level. We’ll break down:

 

These steps are designed to help you make smarter choices before choreography and clean up what matters most. You’ll leave this session with at least one immediate upgrade you can apply to your routine.


This isn’t about adding more.
It’s about making what you already have work harder for you.
