  • Front Pose - Feet must face towards forward for judging. The hips should face the judges and the arms can remain at the sides or you can place one hand on your hip. Your toes MUST face the judges, but competitors can angle their toes out SLIGHTLY if it helps to accentuate their thigh presentation
 
  • Side Pose 1 - From the front pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and adjust stance. Upper body turned towards judges, so the rear shoulder can be seen, but nothing exaggerated. The hips MUST face the side of the stage; You may turn your head and look directly at the judges
  • Rear Pose - From the side pose, competitors execute a ¼ turn to the right and face the curtain or rear of the stage. Competitor’s feet are no wider than shoulder width apart and stand in upright position. Competitors should brush their hair to one side when they turn to the rear, so their back can be seen (if they have long hair). Hands are in front of the body resting on the quad. Lat’s open but not over flared to show upper body symmetry.
  • Side Pose 2 - Upper body turned towards judges, so the rear shoulder can be seen, but nothing exaggerated. The hips MUST face the side of the stage; You may turn your head and look directly at the judges
NOTE: AT NO TIME DURING THE REAR POSE IS A COMPETITOR PERMITTED TO TURN THEIR HEAD TO LOOK AT THE JUDGES OR STAND WITH THEIR BOTH LEGS WIDE AND DISPLAY AN EXAGGERATED BENT OVER POSE. THESE TWO VARIATIONS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED. The competitor should hit their poses and only move to reset themselves. Any over exaggerated and distracting movement on stage will not be permitted and the head judge reserves the right to tell the competitor to hold their pose.
