The Pole Circus 2026: A Night of Strength, Sparkle, and Unforgettable Performances! 🎪✨
Boca Raton, Florida | October 18, 2026
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the stage at Boca Black Box Theater came alive with extraordinary talent, breathtaking performances, dazzling costumes, and a celebration of strength, artistry, and individuality.
The Pole Circus 2026 welcomed approximately 200 audience members for an unforgettable afternoon of pole dancing, chair dance, floorwork, twerk, and spectacular entertainment!
Produced and hosted by Salis Charming, owner of Girl Next Door Fitness in Boca Raton, The Pole Circus was more than just a competition. It was a celebration of a community where performers of all backgrounds, experience levels, and artistic styles could come together and shine.
And what a show it was!
Where the Circus Meets the Art of Pole
The Pole Circus was created with one mission: to give performers a stage where creativity, individuality, and self-expression could take center stage.
Unlike traditional competitions, The Pole Circus welcomed both competitive athletes and showcase performers who simply wanted to experience the magic of performing in front of a live audience.
The event featured four artistic categories: Pole, Chair Dance, Floorwork, and Twerk, with competition levels ranging from Amateur to Intermediate and Professional.
From emotional storytelling and graceful movement to gravity-defying tricks, powerful athleticism, and jaw-dropping flexibility, every performer brought something unique to the stage.
The afternoon opened with a special performance by The Girls Next Door, representing Girl Next Door Fitness, followed by the energetic King of Twerk, who brought excitement and personality to the circus.
Our talented showcase performers included Destinee, Jaki, K Noir, Precious, and Rose, while Syryn, Whiskey Sunrise, Bethany Flows, and Kate Hikari helped bring our other dance categories to life.
Every performance was a reminder that pole and dance are not just physical activities. They are art forms that tell stories, build confidence, and inspire others.
A Spectacular Intermission
The excitement continued with special guest performances from Gemma Lux and Jolene Rivera, who brought incredible stage presence and artistry to the theater.
And of course, our fabulous Miss Pretzel herself, @free, delivered an unforgettable performance featuring stunning flexibility, extraordinary tricks, and fabulous fire heels that left the audience in awe!
The atmosphere was electric, and the audience's cheers made every moment even more magical.
Celebrating Our Competitors and Winners
The competition featured athletes showcasing months of dedication, training, courage, and creativity.
Competitors were evaluated by our judging panel, which included Gemma Lux, Jolene Rivera, Andrew, and Salis Charming.
Awards were presented to competitors placing first, second, and third in their respective divisions, but the most anticipated honor of the evening was the Ultimate Winner of The Pole Circus 2026.
Congratulations to Jessica Weissman, who earned the highest overall competition score and took home the Ultimate Winner title!
Jessica received an incredible grand prize package, including a Lupit Pole home stage, two Dancing Dust grips, an educational e-book from The Pole PT, and classes at Girl Next Door Fitness.
Her achievement represented the dedication, artistry, and athleticism that The Pole Circus was created to celebrate.
Beyond the competition, the celebration continued with special audience awards, including our Halloween Costume Contest, Miss Congeniality recognition, and an award for the performer who brought the most audience members.
Because at The Pole Circus, everyone deserves a moment in the spotlight!

To Our Audience: You Made the Magic Happen!
To the approximately 200 people who attended The Pole Circus 2026, THANK YOU!
Thank you for purchasing tickets, cheering for your favorite performers, dressing up, supporting our vendors, and helping us celebrate the art of pole and dance.
Your applause, excitement, and encouragement meant the world to every person who stepped onto that stage.
We loved seeing our audience embrace the circus spirit, especially through our Halloween Costume Contest and raffle festivities.
Our guests also had opportunities to win prizes and receive complimentary classes at Girl Next Door Fitness, because we wanted the magic of the circus to continue long after the final curtain.
A Dream Brought to Life by Salis Charming
Behind The Pole Circus was a creative vision brought to life by producer, host, and ringleader Salis Charming.
As the owner of Girl Next Door Fitness, an experienced pole instructor, performer, and advocate for inclusive performance opportunities, Salis wanted to create something different.
A production where beginners could share the same stage as professionals. Where creativity mattered as much as technique. Where every performer could tell a story, embrace their personality, and feel celebrated.
From coordinating sponsors and judges to organizing performers, vendors, prizes, and the entire production, The Pole Circus was truly a labor of love.
And seeing hundreds of people come together to celebrate this beautiful community made every moment worthwhile.
The Circus Will Return in 2027!
The final curtain may have closed on The Pole Circus 2026, but this is only the beginning.
We're already dreaming bigger, planning more surprises, and preparing to bring an even more spectacular production to South Florida.
Save the date: Sunday, October 10, 2027, from 5–8 PM!
Whether you're a first-time performer, an experienced competitor, a business interested in sponsoring, or simply someone who loves extraordinary entertainment, there's a place for you under our big top.
To our performers, competitors, judges, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and audience members: thank you for making The Pole Circus 2026 a celebration we will never forget.
Next year, we're going even bigger. We're selling out the circus! 🎪❤️✨
