    Spirit of Comps and Showmanship

    Frisk is a social pole dancing competition created to give amateur and semi-pro pole dancers the opportunity to express themselves, perform on stage, explore their creativity, and most importantly—have fun! This event is designed to celebrate individuality, artistry, and the vibrant community that surrounds pole dancing. We ask all competitors to enter Frisk with this spirit in mind. We value kindness, respect, and support—towards each other and towards yourselves. Please note that the judges’ decision is final. Any behaviour—before or during the event—that disrespects fellow competitors, the judges, or the competition itself may impact your ability to participate in future Frisk events. We are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment, and unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. If your routine includes themes or content that could be emotionally triggering for an audience, we ask that you notify the organisers ahead of time. This allows us to assess whether a content warning is necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of all attendees. Let’s keep Frisk a space where everyone feels seen, celebrated, and empowered.

    The Spirit

    The Comp Experience

    Unforgettable Moments, Unmatched Energy

    I’ve been 2 years in a row, loved every second of it! Lorien is such a good MC! Amazing venue, professionally run, overall vibe 10/10! Frisk winner 2024 Shannon’s Roxanne tango routine still lives rent free in my head!


    Frisk Audience Member

    Super professional event, venue is amazing, parking and access, MC and support staff (polecats, etc.) all engaging and professional, loved the businesses present during the intermission, this is probably my favourite of the comps.


    Frisk Audience Member

    EPIC. Just completely and utterly took my breath (and voice) away. A great length show, loved how it was broken up with other performances. The space is beautiful and up on the mezzanine I could see all performances clearly.


    Frisk Audience Member

    Love competing in this competition. I love having a platform that allows us to express ourselves sensually. The audience is always electric and the comp organizers run a tight ship, making it one of the best ran comps in Oz.


    Frisk Competitor

    Being a part of Frisk was absolutely incredible! The event itself was run so smoothly and professionally. Alongside this the atmosphere was amazing, from stage crew to other competitors, I felt so supported the whole time!


    Frisk Competitor

    As a pole performer, I have been apart of my share of competitions. But frisk is hands down my favourite to be apart of.


    Frisk Competitor

    My favourite night of the whole pole year, organisers above and beyond to make our show dreams come true and keep the audience at the core of everything they do; bringing to life a night of amazing performances.


    Frisk Competitor

    Very well-organised comp from start to finish! It's such a vibe to dance on the beautiful Northcote Theatre too!
