Marion Crampe is French National Pole Dance Champion 2012 and Bronze Medalist at the World Championship IPC in Singapore. She is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You started career at a young age with classic ballet and ballet jazz. Later you discovered street jazz and hip-hop. In the year 2006 you took your first pole dance class, this was the catalyst that made you reach the pinnacle of success in pole dancing by winning French National Championship 2012. What factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Marion Crampe:
I am a very passionate person, not only about pole but about many things such as life and people. I found in Pole Dance a mix of those things,in the same discipline: I can explore my body, push the limits, play out of my comfort zone, feel that you can fly and most of all meet amazing people all round the world and share life experiences with them.
I was not really built for gymnastic, but I always keep in mind to believe that hard work pays off. I train on a consistent basic by myself and stay focused with the support of friends, colleagues and family. Hard work and belief do not guarantee success, but it is a great foundation to help you achieve goals and step forward with your dreams.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You learned pole dancing from your mentor Liana, one of Australia’s Pole Dance pioneer who took your pole dancing to a pinnacle. Tell us about your mentor contribution and the style you embedded in your pole dancing?
Ms. Marion Crampe:
I met Liana in 2007, in Paris. Destiny made our paths cross. We used to be pole teachers at the first pole dance school in Paris for couple of years.
She is one of the pioneers of Pole dance in the world. She shared with me her skills, her technique and much more. I found in her much more than a pole mentor, she really contribute to build the woman I am today, physically and spiritually. She is now back in Australia but the connection is still intense and present no matter the distance. She is a guiding force and true inspiration.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Marion Crampe:
I train 5/6 days a week for 2/3 hours on the pole (besides performances and teaching workshops). I switch my training schedule between conditioning, contortion, dance, exploration time and I add some gym sessions. I also love to go for other activities to get new ways to explore the body’s possibilities, to get inspired.
