Styles
Mystic Flow
Flow
Description: This style is characterized by smooth, fluid, and sensual movements. The focus is on the connection with the music and the flow of movement, rather than on acrobatics or complex tricks. It is a more organic and relaxed form of dance, where sensuality plays a key role.
Key Features: Slow and fluid movements, smooth transitions between poses, and a strong connection with the music. The emphasis is on dance style, interpretation, and musicality rather than on difficult acrobatic tricks. When tricks are performed, they should be executed fluidly, as if the dancer is still dancing through the movement.
old school
Classic Temptation
Description: This style is inspired by the early days of pole dance, when sensuality and theatricality were the dominant elements. Movements tend to be more classic and defined, with a focus on posture and traditional poses. It blends retro sensuality with movements that were popular in the early pole dance scene.
Key Features: More stylized and pronounced movements, classic sensual poses, fewer acrobatics, and a stronger emphasis on theatrical expression. Clothing removal is a key element of this style. Retro or vintage music is often used to enhance the atmosphere.
Drama Queens
Teatro
Description: In this style, dance becomes a more dramatic, theatrical, or comedic performance. Sensuality is combined with elements of acting and storytelling. It’s a fusion of pole dance and dramatic arts, where the dancer creates a story or character that unfolds throughout the choreography. It is highly visual and aims to convey emotions through performance.
Key Features: High theatricality, use of costumes and characters, and a central story or theme expressed through the dance. The focus is not only on tricks, but on narrative and emotional interpretation.
Hard
Pole Predator
Description: In this style, movements are more intense, blending sensuality with strength. More technical tricks such as inversions and spins are incorporated, making the performance more dynamic and physically demanding. Unlike Exotic Flow, the focus is on power and physical skill—while still maintaining a sensual touch.
Key Features: Use of acrobatic tricks and more advanced techniques (inversions, fast spins, jumps), strength and flexibility, all while keeping a sensual foundation. It is more intense and faster-paced compared to other exotic styles.
Dynasty Crew
Groups
Description: In this category, participants dance as a duo or group, performing synchronized choreographies. Movements are combined with partner or group acrobatics, adding a social and collaborative dimension to pole dance. Duos or groups must coordinate their movements, transition together, and work as a team to create a harmonious routine. It is a collective style designed for duos or groups, where synchronization, cohesion, and collective energy are essential. Perfect for those who aim to convey strength through teamwork.
Key Features: A collective style designed for duos or groups, where synchronization, cohesion, and collective energy are key. Ideal for those looking to express power through collaboration. Choreographic teamwork, partner or group work, shared acrobatics, and synchronization. The focus is on connection between dancers, as well as sensuality and technique.
Stars
Icon Stars
Description: A space reserved exclusively by invitation from the organization. Selected industry professionals who choose to participate will compete for the throne after the championship’s opening. This category and style are presented as something innovative, where participants are not introduced as athletes but as artists, moving from one routine to the next as if it were a Las Vegas-style show.
