About Podium Goddess
Podium Goddess is a competition that wants you to perform a pole performance in your own style. Whether that be sensual, lyrical, jazzy, dramatic - whatever makes you feel a connection to your music and movement. Competitors will be judged predominantly on musicality, pole technique, and communication of theme (theme can be conceptual and explained in the MC's intro). We can't wait to see what our next group of finalists bring to the 2023 Podium Goddess stage!
Podium Goddess 2023 will be held at The Factory Theatre on Sunday 23rd of April. Application details to be announce soon
