CATEGORIES & LEVELS

Pole Theatre Greece will have 4 levels

Amateur Beg/Int: 

Athletes in the early stages of pole dancing. This level is for participants with basic pole technique who can perform simple inversions and transitions but are not yet consistent with advanced tricks or combinations.

A minimum of three points of contact with the pole is required for all pole tricks.

Basic inverts are permitted, both from the floor and from the pole. Shoulder Mount from the floor is also permitted.

Ayesha, Handspring and other advanced strength-based or extreme flexibility moves are not permitted.

This category is intended for beginner-level athletes and should reflect an appropriate level of technical difficulty.

Amateur Adv:

Athletes with a more developed level of pole technique, strength and control, who are comfortable performing intermediate-level tricks, combinations and dynamic movements.

This category is suitable for athletes who have progressed beyond the beginner level but are not yet performing consistently at an advanced or semi-professional pole level.

Instructors are permitted to compete in this category if they are beginner-level instructors in pole dancing or if their professional teaching experience is in other dance disciplines.

Advanced tricks and combinations are permitted, provided they are appropriate for the athlete's level and performed with control and technical execution.

The Amateur division is for competitors who have not won first place in the Amateur division of a Qualifying Competition.
