① EXOTIC OLD SCHOOL 

 

EXOTIC OLD SCHOOL is where the whole Exotic Pole Dance started.

With a fairly simple vocabulary, this is the most"feeling" direction, requiring the performer to do a lot of acting work and energetic interaction with the audience, as well as filigree possession of the plasticity of the body, capable of expressing the entire spectrum of sensuality, femininity and sexuality through dance.

The ratio of choreography and tricks can be anything, the main thing is that there is passion in your every movement.

 

 

TIMING of performances:

*Old school style new face 

- no more than 3:00 min

 

*Old school style Professional

*Old school style Men

② EXOTIC FLOW 

 

EXOTIC FLOW - a style that, with its apparent smoothness and fluidity, requires the dancer to master quite complex dance techniques.

 

The FLOW MOVEMENT technique itself, which bears the same name as the Exotic Flow Style, is based on the transfer of an impulse of movement from one bodily center to another.

 

Exotic Flow style has a complex dance vocabulary that combines gross and fine motor skills, broken and straight lines, spirals and anti-spirals.

 

If it were possible to characterize EXOTIC FLOW in one word, it would be "WAVE". It is all kinds of body waves in different planes, in statics and in movements, performed by different parts of the body that form the basis of the EXOTIC FLOW movement.

Another important component of the style is the so-called "FLOOR WORK" - parterre techniques, "LEG WORK" - dance vocabulary performed by feet.

 

 

 

TIMING of performances:

*New face - no more than 3:00 min

*Professional- no more than 3:30 min

③ EXOTIC HARD STYLE 

 

EXOTIC HARD - This style could be described in one word "TRICKS"

But that would be too easy...

One of the most frequently asked questions within this style and category is what comes first in it - tricks or dance?

 

EXOTIC HARD is not just a lot of heel tricks, otherwise it would not differ from Pole Sport in any way, except for the presence of strips.

 

EXOTIC HARD is a choreography with a lot of trick combinations, both on the pole and on the floor, where the tricks must be performed choreographically and musically.

Mostly the style is characterized by dynamic and expressive presentation, high tempo - rhythm and greater density of the trick part.

 

But EXOTIC HARD can also be slow and fluid, with tricky combinations flowing into each other.

EXOTIC HARD - generalized DANCING STUNKS

④ EXOTIC FREE STYLE
 

EXOTIC FREE STYLE is an experimental category that will be presented at the festival for the first time!
 

This category has only one rule - the basis of your dance should be Exotic Pole Dance, and then only the flight of your creative imagination.
 

Any mixture of dance styles, non-standard forms and lines, unusual images and emotions.
 

We deliberately do not give clear instructions in order to give you the opportunity to say something new and interesting in our direction.
 

We hope that EXOTIC FREE STYLE will be full of surprises and discoveries!

 

Use the song you want to dance to, and freely decide the choreography and routine.

 

Freestyle means that the style of dance is freestyle.

 

It's not a freestyle where you don't know the song.

 

Please note

Please decide the song yourself in advance and prepare for the choreography.
