International Jury

 

An international jury, consisting of professional dancers/artists from various backgrounds (aerial pole, circus artistry, stage dance, variété and theatre), will be judging the individual aerial pole performance of each dancer. The criteria will be personal expression, costume, interpretation of the music as well as acrobatics and dancing skills.
