Mina Mechanic and Nadia Sharif have set the stage for Pole Doubles and have been pioneers for the pole industry. We sat down with them to learn more about their journey with pole.
How have you seen pole change since you began?
What role do you think you have played in helping pole develop
We were early adopters, teachers and competitors during a time that pole was becoming a real thing. We def created a bunch of Doubles Pole skills and combos but really, what we really did was also create a style and set the bar. For years to follow, we would judge competitions and see the moves and style that we had pioneered.
Why do you think you and Mina pushed the creative and innovative envelope so much? You were light years ahead of the rest of pole.
We trusted each other so much and loved what we were doing so much that we just played, bounced ideas, experimented and loved creating. We honestly didn’t have any videos to reference *well there was Gravity Defies – mad props and shout out. Love*
Why did you and Mina decide you wanted to do doubles?
We have thank a competition named, East Meets West, that had a BiPoler division. Without it we may have never been inspired to start doing doubles in 2010.
What was your creative process for crafting a routine?
What was your process in creating new doubles pole moves?
What was the hope for each performance?
We both just wanted nothing disastrous to occur, to be together in our choreography and not let each other down in any way. We always just wanted a performance we could be proud of.
What are you hopes for doubles pole in the future?
We have seen doubles pole go from non existent to mind blowing over the last few years! We love seeing concept pieces, creativity, in synch dance movement, and hope that doubles pole continues to blow minds to the masses.
