PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES:
Showcase
This is the main category of the event and will feature pole fitness, pole dance, and pole art performances ranging from the Elementary level up through Elite. Performances can be done in heels, shoes, or barefoot but the performance itself must not be sensual or exotic in nature (no stripping, twerking, rubbing etc).There is no feedback provided in this category. This is a good category for performers looking to simply showcase their talents, get on stage, and perform a choreographed routine.
Showcase Plus
This category encapsulates everything in the Showcase category, but with added feedback and judging scores based on the elements of performance from local coaches with previous competition judging experience. This is a good category to enter to prepare for a competition.
Freestyle
This category is for the artists and athletes that wish to freestyle their piece. No need to have a routine choreographed for this one. You will still choose your music and must still submit music as normal.
Doubles/Groups
This category is open to doubles and groups of 6 people or less.
All members of a group or doubles performance must apply, register, and pay separately in order to be included in the event.
Adult Only 18+
This category is for the pole dancer or pole artist wishing to perform an exotic, sensual, or heels piece. You may wear heels in other categories besides Adult Only 18 +, but the performance itself must not be sensual or exotic in nature (no stripping, twerking, rubbing etc).
