Pole Dance Competition Videos to Inspire Your Next Routine

By Susan Peach

The caliber of the performers at pole dance competitions has gone through the roof in recent years. Unfortunately, so has the cost of traveling to and attending shows!

That's just one reason why watching the competitor routines on video is a great idea. It's also hugely entertaining of course, and super inspiring in a jaw-dropping kind of way.

Whether you're looking for inspiration for your own competition routine, or you just love being awed by watching others perform on the pole, videos of pole competition routines have so much to offer. 

And they've come a very, very long way since the very first non-standardized pole competitions were held in fledgling studios years ago, and recorded in not-so-professional quality.

Today's competitions are very professional affairs, and the competitors have worked incredibly hard to achieve the level of athleticism they display. Many now come from a background in gymnastics, dance or other disciplines that inform their choreography and performance style, so it's no wonder they're so amazing to watch.
