Amateur Division
The Amateur Division is purely for amateur pole performers, dancers, and pole fitness students. We class an Amateur as someone who has been a student at home or a studio, who has never earned any money from poling as an instructor or performer. If a competitor is found to have earned money from pole in any manner they will be immediately disqualified.
