”VIPERA Pole Art Championship’’ is the first championship of its kind in Lithuania, organized by Pole Dance studio “Vipera” from Kaunas. We hope to gather as much Pole Dance lovers as possible, not only from Lithuania but also from the surrounding countries. We kindly invite everyone from any country to apply and perform!
Since Pole Sports became more and more popular, we are sure that it is about time to organize our own championship. This event is about the artistic part of Pole sports, showing that sports and arts can be closely related. Every participant will have the opportunity to reveal themselves, tell their story using not only dance moves and strength but also involving artistry.
The event will take place on 6th of June, 2020 at Kaunas Culture Center.
In love with sports of any kind. But my favorite are acrobatics, equilibristics and pole dancing. On pole I specialize in power moves and acrobatic tricks, such as flips, regrips etc. I took part and succeed in many regional and international championships and competitions.
Kseniia Kochenkova – ex aerobic gymnastics competitor, who discovered pole dance in 2013. After a few experiences in China and Turkey, I chose to settle in Greece where now I teach and train hard! Greek pole dance champion totally dedicated to sport! Calisthenics and workout lover.
Edita Feller – co-founder of EF-Sport, Head of International Committee at International Aerials Sport Federations (IFAS) and Sport Ethic Pedagogue. I love my job because it is a connection to a wider world. Through it, we can use our potential to increase the quality of our lives.
Evelina Dambrauskaitė – Multi winner at rhythmic gymnastics and aerial sport competitions. I believe that whatever it is that you really want to do in your life – you should do it, especially if you know without question that it would make you happy!
