Amateur polers learn that competition is an opportunity to practice and test performance skills, find a voice on stage and show friends and family what you’ve been working on at the studio.

Once polers graduate to the professional level, they compete for titles and cash prizes. Title holders often get recruited for workshops, performances, and gigs at studios, competitions, and productions around the world.
