We are committed to fostering an environment where every performer is valued, respected, and supported.
Our organisation recognises that equity is essential to meaningful inclusion, and we actively work to remove barriers that prevent individuals from fully participating and thriving within our community.
We celebrate dancers of all identities, pronouns, backgrounds, and abilities.
We acknowledge that plus‑size performers often face additional challenges within movement‑based spaces, and we intentionally design our policies, categories, and judging criteria to ensure fair access, equitable opportunity, and a safe platform for artistic expression.
Our commitment to equity means listening, learning, and evolving.
We strive to create a space where all participants feel seen, empowered, and able to perform without bias or limitation.
We hold ourselves accountable to maintaining a competition culture rooted in dignity, transparency, and respect.
Equity is not a single action — it is an ongoing practice.
We are proud to champion a community where polers have opportunity to shine, and we welcome feedback each year to continue to evolve our event and practice.
