Join your poler friends this January 9-10, 2016 for the inaugural Minnesota Regional Pole Competitions! Step on the stage at the gorgeous Maplewood Performing Arts Theater.
Located inside the Maplewood Community Center, this place has it all! A waterpark and two pools, large fitness area, a running track, large reception rooms, and a performing arts theater!
The large reception rooms will house the pole star workshops and the vending area with free workshops, a live feed of the event, and catering.
Competitors receive a FREE All Access Pass (All Access Pass gets you into the theater, workshops, vending and catering. If you would like community center access you pay $8.50 for a day pass to the center).
***If you are a competitor and also volunteering, you can use your discount or free pass for a guest (a 2-hour shift gets you off, a 4-hour shift gets you a FREE pass).
Regular Registration is $75 (Sept thru Nov) Late Registration $85 (Dec). Your contribution goes toward paying for the venue, pole star workshops, catering, posters, promos, etc. We appreciate you participating and helping us grow our pole community! PPA hopes to remove the stigma that surrounds our sport and "Elevate the Performing Arts to New Extremes!"
