Welcome to the IUPDC 2015!
Saturday 7th March.
Event hosted by Warwick University.
The Inter-University Pole Dance Competition brings together student pole dancers from across the country, aiming to showcase the incredible standard of university pole talent in the UK. The IUPDC also hopes to educate members of the public and the student community on the true athleticism and artistry involved in pole dance.
It gives university pole societies the opportunity to compete against their peers through three soloist categories (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) and a Group category.
The competition is judged by a team of experienced professionals from the pole industry, who ensure the IUPDC maintains a fair, ethical and transparent judging system at all stages of the competition.
The IUPDC goes from strength to strength every year and we know 2015 won't be an exception - expect a day full of incredible routines and overwhelming support from the pole community!
LOCATION - The Copper Rooms, Warwick Student Union
