Our main focus is amateur pole dancers. If you have performed in a student showcase or NZAPP, this competition is perfect for you. First time performers are welcome, but make sure to show us in your entry video that you have what it takes! We are looking for unique and entertaining ideas and variety in our acts.
Our definition of “Amateur”: You have been pole dancing for any amount of time, but you have not recently performed beyond student-level and equivalent showcases. You can be any level from beginner through to super-advanced. Instructors can also enter. We run a stripper-friendly competition and you can enter any category.
Experienced pole dancers and instructors who don't wish to enter an "amateur" competition are VERY welcome to enter the group category. The group category is open to everyone from all levels. We are really excited to see what people come up with in this category!
Wildfire is first and foremost an entertaining event for the audience. We want to make the show super-fun to watch. Keep this in mind when you apply – Unique, creative and quirky ideas will be favoured.
