Floor Play (1-2 competitors)

Floor Play is an opportunity for competitors to showcase seductive, fluid, and seamless movement primarily on the stage floor.
 

The focus should be on expressive movement and transitions using the body in contact with the floor. This may include smooth and sensual qualities, as well as power, strength, explosiveness, control, and dynamic floor work.
 

Poles may be used as props, provided they are not the center of the performance.
(For example: using the pole for transitioning from laying or sitting to standing and vice versa, handstands, or twirls on your knees around the pole.) 
 

• Climbing or performing tricks on the pole is not permitted.

• You must always maintain at least one contact point with the floor (standing on the floor counts as contact). 

• Performing tricks without floor contact will result in a five (5) point deduction by the Head Judge.
   

The use of poles, and/or chairs, as props is limited to a maximum of 30 seconds of the routine. Exceeding this time will result in disqualification.
