The modalities of the Pole 

Pole Sport it is a discipline of strength, balance, elasticity and rhythm. A series of exercises on a vertical bar through acrobatic choreography. With a very well defined regulation and a very high level of demand. In this second edition of the championship in Tarragona there will also be representation of the modality For Pole.

Ultra Pole it is a one on one mode. Each participant has 30 seconds to prove their superiority over the opponent, 30 seconds for the opponent to respond and 30 seconds more for their reply. Once the interventions are over (called combos) the jury decides at the moment, one of the participants is eliminated at the moment, while the winner will compete against the next contestant. A very spectacular type of competition as the participants play everything in a very fast staging and in which they have to catch the attention of the audience and the jury.

The most theatrical and emotional side will be lived with the performances ofArtistic Pole. A modality in which the props and the changes of clothes have capacity. Where a story can be told with the movement.
