More info 

Our theme for this year’s showcase is ‘Viva Las Vegas’ – Showcasing performances that capture the glitz, glamour, and vibrant energy of Las Vegas. Think about incorporating iconic music, sparkling costumes, and captivating choreography that brings the essence of Vegas to life. Combine the elegance of aerial artistry with the excitement of pole dancing to create routines that will amaze and entertain. Whether you’re channeling the classic showgirl, the magic of the Strip, or the thrill of the casino, we want to see your creativity and passion on stage. Let’s make this a night to remember – Remember our show is family friendly so be sure that it is appropriate for all ages.

With so many songs to choose from, we will be limiting the songs to a maximum of 2 songs per artist to keep a variety in the show. 

Performances may be between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.  

There will be three poles set in a triangle, two in front and one at the back.
The poles are 45mm powder coated and are 4m high.
The 2 front poles are 3,5m apart and the back pole is 2,4m in a diagonal from the front poles.

You may choose any spin/static configuration for your poles.

We have 3 aerial points.
