FINDING OUR ENTRANCE:

Enter the doors next to the cul-de-sac. The studio entrance is BEFORE you reach the Bingham doorman. If you need assistance finding us, please give the business a call at the number listed above.

PARKING:

There is free street parking on Sundays! There is also a small parking lot attached to the Bingham, though it fills up quickly. There are plenty of free and paid options within a short walk of the venue!

PERFORMANCES:

Performances begin at 3 pm with the Showcase+ Category. All ages welcome. Category start times listed below are estimated and subject to change. Please note that when the Adults 18+ Category begins all audience members must be a minimum of 18 years old. Audience members are free to come and go throughout the day and we encourage you to check out the vendors in the lobby. Please be respectful and only exit/enter the performance area in between performers.

PERFORMANCE CATEGORIES:

Participants have up until a week after registration closes to make changes to their category. We may move you into a different category ourselves if you do not meet the requirement for the category entered. 

If you are entering 2 different categories, you must have a different routine for each category. Pole in the Land will do our best to check for accuracy in this, but ultimately that’s your responsibility.

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).

VENDORS

As Nicole was progressing through her pole journey, she found it hard to find domestic companies that don’t charge $70 for a top alone. Using her fashion degree, and knowledge from working within internationally known apparel corporations, she decided to start No Label Pole Wear. Based in Ohio, No Label Pole Wear works with international vendors to provide you with affordable and stylish pole clothes located in the United States. As the brand comes close to their one year anniversary, they are thankful for all the support and look forward to growing and expanding their collections. Be sure to check out her pole wear this Sunday at our Showcase and at https://www.etsy.com/shop/NoLabelPoleWear

We’re excited to host @porkmacnmoore at the Pole in the Land Showcase on Sunday! Check out their menu and get ready for some good food!
