Pole Dance Enthusiasts Invade the DMV for June 15-18 International Pole Convention
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
More than a thousand pole dancers, including people of all genders, all ages, backgrounds, and body shapes gather for the 12th annual International Pole Convention—or simply “PoleCon”—at the Maryland Live! Hotel and Casino June 15-18!
Open to the public, the convention provides attendees with all-star performances; seminars; workshops with international stars; opportunities for instructor certifications; plenty of time for networking and access to vendors representing the best products and services in pole, fitness, nutrition, wellness, and glamour apparel.
“It’s been more than 10 years since PoleCon has been held in the DMV,” PoleCon CEO Colleen Jolly noted. “We’re so excited to celebrate the growth and diversity of our industry—the sport side, fitness side, art side, theatrical side, and of course, the sexy side—with the robust, local pole community.”
PoleCon offers non-stop pole performances throughout the weekend including two evening showcases for just $30 each—perfect for the pole-curious. Catch the “Sexy” showcase Thursday night at 6:30pm and “Black Girls Pole” showcase Friday night at 8pm—both held in The Hall at Maryland Live!
Pole dancing has gained increasing popularity as a fitness exercise and mainstream entertainment by many enthusiasts in gyms and dance studios around the world. Not to mention being regularly featured in major movies, on TV, and live on tour with headlining musicians like Snoop Dogg.
“PoleCon’s goal is for everyone to see and appreciate the many facets of pole from the club side to those wanting to see pole competed in the Olympics,” Jolly said. “The convention is a cross between an industry association-type convention with industry-specific seminars and workshops and a public event. It is a place to come together, see all kinds of performances, learn from each other, and grow.”
The Weekend Pass ($225) provides an entire weekend of access to all events, with the fun kicking off Thursday night. Lunch, included in the cost of admission, is served Friday and Saturday with breakfast on Sunday. Attendees under 18 participate with a parent or guardian at a discounted rate for the entire weekend.
