About BPIC

Welcome to the competition for UK Pole Instructors

Founded in 2022, BPIC was created with one clear mission: To give paid UK Pole instructors a fair and empowering space to compete at their true level.

In the UK competition scene, qualifying or teaching as a pole instructor often means being automatically placed within a professional level category - regardless of your own personal training journey.

At BPIC, we believe that instructors deserve the freedom to compete in a category that genuinely reflect their own skills as a dancer.

BPIC is a competition designed by instructors, for instructors.

Bring your fire to our stage!

  • Dance studio with wooden floor, wall mirror, and a large phoenix logo in orange on the wall, with several metal dance poles.
  • Wall mural featuring a stylized phoenix in orange and black colors with a phoenix head and wings integrated into a flame design.

  • Entrants must be aged 16 and over at time of entry

  • Entrants must be a paid pole instructor within a studio OR have taught classes within a studio within the last 3 years.
