BeEXOTIC Competition Rules 2026
Welcome to BeEXOTIC, a stage festival of styles celebrating the diverse philosophies of pole exotic dance. Participants will be judged based on the unique essence of their chosen category.
Categories & Styles
BeEXOTIC BURLESQUE (All Levels)
This category is a synthesis of pole dance and classic burlesque.
BeEXOTIC ROCK
Dance exotic pole to rock music! Men and women compete together.
BeEXOTIC SEXY LADY This category is for participants who want to perform a really sexy show and point out their femininity. You can do some tricks here.
BeEXOTIC POWER In this category, we are waiting for a show and tricks on the pole. Dance, tricks, technique, an idea, and a show count. The most important elements are tricks on the pole and on the floor, but you must not forget about the dance.
BeEXOTIC ART This is a category for all participants whose choreographies do not fit into any other categories. It is perfect if you like to mix Exotic and Art, have a storyline, or want to show a non-typical style. Skills on the pole, dance, emotions, contact with the audience, and originality all count.
BeEXOTIC FLOORWORK In this category, you need to show dance, technique of foot work, and originality. You can dance any exotic style on the floor. This category is for people who do not want to do pole tricks in the air and prefer to do floor tricks.
BeEXOTIC 40+ (All Levels)
An exclusive category for participants aged 40 and over. You may perform any style you want. Similar to the Art category, the emphasis is heavily on expression, storytelling, stage presence, and dance flow, with less emphasis on high-level aerial tricks.
BeEXOTIC 50+ (All Levels)
An exclusive category for participants aged 50 and over. You may perform any style you want. Similar to the Art category, the focus is on artistry, confidence, style, and musicality rather than complex acrobatic pole tricks.
BeEXOTIC GROUPS (All Levels) A category for groups of 3 to 6 people. The show, idea, choreography, and dance count. You need to surprise the judges and perform a real show on stage.
BeEXOTIC MEN (All Levels)
This category is exclusively for men and is open to all skill levels. It is a mixed-style category, allowing you to choose the specific style you wish to represent. You will be judged using the scoring sheet that matches the style you choose to perform (Sexy, Power, Floorwork, or Art).
Competition Levels
These levels apply to Sexy Lady, Power, Art, and Floorwork. If you choose a specific style, the choreography will be judged using a scoring sheet adjusted to your selected style.
| Level | Requirements | Performance Time |
|---|---|---|
| Professional | For professionals, those who have participated in a pro or higher category internationally/nationally, and those who won 1st place in Semi-Pro. | 3:30 – 5:00 minutes |
| Semi-Pro | For semi-professionals who have competed nationally or internationally but did not win 1st place in a semi-pro category. | 3:30 – 4:00 minutes |
| Amateur | For debutants or people without any victories in pole dance and exotic competitions, including school competitions. | 3:00 – 4:00 minutes |
| All Levels | For categories without level divisions (such as BURLESQUE, BeEXOTIC 40+, BeEXOTIC 50+, BeEXOTIC MEN, and GROUPS). | 3:15 – 4:00 minutes |
***Currently, the BeEXOTIC 40+ and 50+ categories are classified as "All Levels". However, if we receive enough registrations, we will split these categories into Beginners and Advanced divisions. A minimum of two (2) participants per level is required to open these separate divisions. If we do not reach this minimum, the category will remain as a combined "All Levels" division.
