Pole Dance Baltic festival "Pole Emotion"

11/06/2026

🤩 Not every stage story begins with complex tricks or intricate dramaturgy.

Sometimes a performance begins with a single effortless movement. A barely perceptible emotion.

A single image that gradually unfolds before the audience — reminding us that the stage can speak in many different languages.

Through the lines of the body.
Through the atmosphere of the stage space.
Through feelings that words cannot capture.

It is moments like these that form the layered architecture of a show — the kind we continue to create in the 2026 season.

Watch.
Feel.
Be inspired.

🌟 Applications are accepted until July 10, 2026.

Our festival is moving further away from the familiar competition format and closer to a fully professional show project.

And while last season already showed many finalists the level of technical and visual work on our stage, in 2026 we are taking this even further: stage lighting and the visual media environment become a full part of how your performance is experienced — on the same level as the artist’s choreography and presence.

📍 The first casting stage with special conditions for participants of previous seasons is open only until May 15, 2026.

📍 The main stage for new participants — and for applications not submitted during Stage One:
start: May 16, 2026
end: July 10, 2026

📍 You can submit your application through our virtual assistant via the link in our BIO ⤴️
