Established in Russia in 2015 and reignited in 2019, REVOLUTION has grown into one of the world’s most dynamic and influential pole championships.

In just 10 years, it has been staged 30 times across Russia, Greece, and Austria, uniting elite pole artists, and global audiences in celebration of pole artistry.

Now, for the very first time in Asia, REVOLUTION proudly arrives in Hong Kong - the landmark Asian station heralding a new era of creativity, excellence, and international exchange.

CATEGORIES & LEVELS

A category focused on storytelling through choreography, costume, music, and use of props. Performers are expected to dance primarily or purely barefoot. High-heeled shoes may be incorporated for up to 30% of the routine, only when essential to the artistic narrative or concept. The use of heels is to enhance the story line rather than shift the performance into a heels-dance style.

Example: A performer may begin a scene running to a date in heels, then remove them as the story transitions into a rain sequence.
