POLE ART COMPANY MISSION:

Pole Art Company is a promotions, events, and entertainment company that organizes aerial, performing art, & circus shows, as well as competitions, festivals, and dance conventions in the community. Pole Art Company prides itself on our tri-angled mission: 1. Increasing public awareness of the accessibility, artistry, and athleticism involved in pole dance and the performing arts.

2. Supporting the entire pole dance and performing art community including performers, students, studios, trainers, instructors, nutritionists, local businesses, event production companies, photographers, and videographers. 3. Providing an opportunity for ongoing exploration of the definition of beauty, strength, and professionalism for the performing arts.

THE POLE ART PERFORMANCE TEAM, FRANCHISE DEBUT:

After many years, many shows, and a globally upheaving pandemic, Pole Art Company is excited to debut the Pole Art Performance Team, starting September 2022. The purpose of the team is to create a space for pole performers in the Twin Cities to build community, train consistently, and showcase their passion for pole on a recurring, regular basis. The team is available for all levels, all genders, and all people passionate about cultivating a space designed to empower all things pole. In its debut season, we are excited about developing and training together to fulfil what we have noticed as an unmet need in our community.
