Pole Art 2010
-
I was wondering if there is more information bout this competition. Me and my friend are thinking of spectating and was just curious as to where the event is held, so can plan accommodation and which airport to fly to. And when do tickets go on sale?
We have published travel and accomodation information here: http://poleart.org/en/Spectators
The closest and largest airport is Arlanda (Stockholm). But if you find good tickets to Bromma or Skavsta, those are fine too.
If you like, you could even ask around among our students on whether or not some of them want international guests and pole buddies during the stay. We have a active Swedish forum here: http://poleforum.se/
Questions and requests in English are understood by everyone https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -

Love love love the poster picture!!!
Out of pure curiosity, what kind of pointe shoes are those? They look gorgeous on her feet!
I want to figure out a way to combine my love of ballet with pole dancing and do a routine using my pointe shoes….but that will need to wait a little while until I get stronger on the pole.

Thank you for all your support – the event went over so well and really exceeded all of our expectations!
Next year, it’s going to be held in Helsinki, Finland, again. We hope that event more of you guys can join in then (this year we "only" had spectators traveling from 17 different countries!)
The results as well as a video of the winner have been published here: http://poleart.org/en/Results
…and a bunch of stunning pictures here: http://poleart.org/en/Gallery

Those shoes were Bloch. Their pointes are a nice muted pink with a low vamp, if that’s your aesthetic preference.
We found the most challenging aspect of fusing pole and pointe in practical performance (rather than simply posing for a photo) to be friction. Or the lack of it!
With a satin, suede or chrochet tipped pointe shoe the momentum you gain for a pole spin or climb is so much less than you normally would from the ball of your foot. So I’m thinking you’d either want to push of from demi pointe or glue a sticky (rubbery?) material on top of the suede.
Let me know how YOU get around the problem once you do a routine, though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif -
Thank you so much for posting this! Pole Art is my favorite style of pole, even though I am not trained in any dance. I wish more pole dancers danced in their routines. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
