Each performer will be required to submit a brief summary of their performance idea. This is your opportunity to give us more than just a dance routine with counts. Invent a character, draw us into your world and tell a story through your movement. My hope is that you’ll develop and present a creative, unique performance that showcases your personality and style.

Performances can be pole, aerial, dance, burlesque, chair dance, contortion or floorwork.

There are no rules or required moves. Pole performers do not have to use both poles (although as well rounded performers, it is highly encouraged!)

The maximum length for performances is 3:00 minutes.

Costumes are highly encouraged. It is permitted to remove articles of clothing / costume as long as removal meets minimum costume requirements.

Please note that absolutely no full or partial nudity is allowed. Intimate body parts must be covered at all times. Men may be topless.

While this is an adults only show, costumes should still leave something to the imagination.
