The Pole Factor 2021

The Pole Factor is an annual competition held in Cape Town, hosted by The Pole Project. From its inauguration in 2015 until 2019, it celebrates the athleticism and artistry of pole dance with showcases from three different styles of the discipline:

• Pole Artiste – the artistic side of pole; expression, interpretation and movement.
• Pole Provocateur – the sensual side of pole; sensual movement, heels and feels.
• Pole Duets – doubles on the pole; two dancers incorporating any of the two styles above.
• PLUS we’ve added a new category this year: Pole Cubs – for our pole kids and teens, focussing on the artistic style of pole dance.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID pandemic, this year’s competition will be held online… coming to your screens on 28th August 2021!

This year, we have a incredible line up of awe-inspiring contestants competing in the Amateur, Advanced and Elite divisions for the solo categories, Elite division for the Duets category, and Petite Cubs (6-12 years) for the Cubs category.

Open to male and female, national and international contestants, The Pole Factor demands that competitors show-off their X-factor – that undefinable “je ne sais quoi” that makes for star quality.

We always have the most incredible support from our community of sponsors that assist in getting the event off the ground and providing awesome prizes for our daring winners!

Are you a Pole Artiste, Pole Provocateur, Pole Duet or Pole Cub? And have you got that je ne sais quoi? 

The live stream event is on 28th August 2021 at 19h00 (SA time), but if you are unable to join us for the live stream, the recording will be available for viewing for a week thereafter. Please note that access codes for all tickets will have ONE USE only i.e. you will only be able to watch the show once.
