Soul on Pole is an artistic oriented pole and aerial competition which has your performance and artistic freedom at heart. Our regulation is minimal in order to grant you that freedom – but we also want and need to offer a just, sound evaluation of each perfromance shown on stage.
This is why our jury is so important.
Judges need to have a solid judging experience or very relevant career and stage experience for being invited to judge Soul on Pole.
