COMPETITOR INFO
The competition will consist of 5 categories, with 6 finalists in each category.
Hypnotic flow
A focus on technical elements combined with flowy choreography. Tease us with confident, creative transitions and silky sequences.
Musicality and footwork are key here, we’re looking for seamless, smooth flow, where one move melts into the next. Keep us transfixed with your effortless fluidity.
showstopper
Pole classique, Aussie style, or burlesque inspired. Think big, bold, beautiful shapes and tantalising theatre.
This category is all about the spectacular – take us on a journey, entertain us, wow us with your show. We’re looking for big, dynamic performances, own the stage.
old school
Super sexy, OG pole, club vibes. This category takes educated inspiration from stripper style - showcase your sexuality and engage with your audience.
Tempt us, tease us, make us feel something! We’re looking for seduction – get us hot under the collar and leave us begging for more.
basework
This is for all you floor dwellers, low pole dancers and bottom third tricksters. You can dance in any style but only low flow is allowed; dancers cannot do anything higher up the pole than they would reach for a spin.
showcase
Just want to focus on performing? This category is for you. You can dance in any style, no particular theme needed. Performers will be picked at random – take a chance to grace the stage, without the pressure of competing.
Feedback will be given but you won’t be scored.

Entries are now closed. You can buy tickets to watch the live show on Sunday 5th March.
