Since I have not competed yet, I cannot go on personal experience, but I have been to ALOT of shows the last 12 yrs and I have seen people pose to classical music. I think there are a few variables- 1) If the person is a really good poser 2) If the person is confident/good charisma. I have seen people completely BOMB in their routine and others do well. I think that goes with any music one uses. If the routine is done well it can be pretty cool!!!  |

Classical and operatic music can work really well. Karrie makes some good points. You have to be a very fluid poser with good transitions. This genre lends itself to holding poses and posing rather slowly for maximum effect.
Was at a masters show where one of the guys used an aria and
he brought down the house. He had obviously practiced his routine and it turned out great.
I've seen several good routines where an athlete starts off slow with a bit of classical then segues into a rock or more rhythmic piece, usuing the classical as a build up.
There are many variations. Just remember that classical/opera
demands good posing technique and daily practice!

thanks Gerry and Karrie-I think this is the EXACT type of music my trainer would like me to use because I can get a bit ''jerky' with faster music LOL

Do not plug as a rule, but anyone competing should check into Rusty Jeffers' new DVD called Pose Like A Pro. Like having a personal consult at home. Rusty reviews everything from quarter turns to transitions and routine for all kinds of music. This is state of the art from one of the most atistic and solid posers on stage. Check out www.rustyjeffers.net for more info. |

I agree you definately have to be a very good poser for the routine to actually be accepted by the crowd. From what I have seen, most competitors don't have their posing down well and the crowd falls asleep. It's usually the high powered hip hop routines that the crowd pays attention to.
A classical piece will work as long as it is polished.
