Spiral Rhythms

Overview

Forget everything you thought you knew about pole dancing. Seriously. Wipe the slate clean and prepare to be amazed. This most intriguing of dance genres has, over the last few years, evolved into an awe-inspiring blend of athleticism, fluidity of motion, and sensual beauty that has lifted it out of its chequered past and onto a different aesthetic plane altogether.

Pole Evolution — Australia's first pole dance company — was founded in 2009 by company director and principal dancer Jennifer Critelli. Together with the 20 talented dancers that make up the company, Jennifer has made it her mission to showcase the uniquely beautiful scope of movement made possible by the meeting of the human body with the simple solid steel structure. Spiral Rhythms is their latest work and promises to be a truly entertaining and visually striking performance that revolves, quite literally, around the pole.

It's a spectacular performance piece fusing pole dancing with contemporary dance, classical ballet and gymnastic feats that seem to defy gravity. Add to this an exciting musical soundscape and costumes designed to enhance the visual impact of the dynamic choreography and you’ve got yourselves one helluva show.
