Pole competitions are very popular around the world. From amateur to elite levels, any pole dancer can now find an opportunity to express himself on stage and to share their passion with the public.
In Switzerland, several competitions have been created in the past years.
*Competitions organized by the Swiss Pole Sports Federation:
Swiss Pole Sports Championships:
The national competitions organized each year according to the International Pole Sports Federation standards. The accent is put on the athletic aspect of the discipline, all competition routines matching the Code of Points rules of the IPSF. Since 2016, the competition is also hosting a parapole division, meant for athletes with a physical disability.
This competition is the only way for Swiss athletes to qualify for the World Pole Sports Championships.
Swiss Artistic Pole Championships :
This competition is more about the artistic aspect of pole sports. Athletes are judged on their technicity but also their creativity, originality and the artistic interpretation of their performance. In opposition with the Pole Sport Championship, athletes are free to build their routine the way they want, without any compulsory moves.
