Categories

​

Style, energy, choreography, individuality, stage presence, unique manners, creative fantasy, and presentation MATTER IN OUR SHOW the most.


There are 7 Categories for JAPAN 2020 : «Exotic Flow», «Exotic Old School», «Exotic Hard», «Exotic Men», «Exotic Group», «Exotic Theater», and «New Face». Each of the categories may differ in the ratio of tricks and choreographic parts, stylistics, and/or representation. The main rule for all categories - IT SHOULD BE A GRAND AND STUNNING SHOW!

 

Every category has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

​


EXOTIC FLOW

  • Ratio of tricks and choreography – optional.

  • Main attention should be given to “near the pole” choreography, which includes poses, feet and legwork, transitions, and floor-work, that has become an iconic element of the Exotic Flow style. Flowing movements from one to another that are based on musical impulses and creating a sense of one slow stream of movement would be the perfect description for the Exotic Flow category.

  • This category does not require difficult pole tricks from the participant.

  • Tricks are only accents and decoration to the dance composition of this category and should flow with the choreography of the routine.

 


EXOTIC OLD SCHOOL

  • Ratio of tricks and choreography – optional.

  • This category represents classic pole dance style at its best!

  • This style is returning to the roots of exotic pole dance.

  • This category is the closest to the art of striptease.

  • Main attention should be given to sensuality, femininity, sexuality, seduction, and passion.

 

​

EXOTIC HARD

  • Ratio of tricks and choreography – in this category you have full freedom to show off your tricks, as this is a recognizable feature of exotic hard style.

  • The look, idea, musicality, and composition of the routine are just as important in this category as in all the others.

  • This category is for those who love to spice up their choreography with crazy flips, tricks, and/or aerial combos.

  • Main condition - tricks must be incorporated into the choreography and not be a different set of elements on the pole.
