Plus Size Pole and Aerial (PSPAA) is a group established in November 2024 by Velvet Summer with the intention of creating spaces and opportunities that centre plus size folks within pole dance and aerial arts.
When attending these spaces, you are invited to show up exactly as you are, and our hope is for you to experience freedom in the exploration of joyful movement and that you’ll feel unconditional support.
Following on from the plus size jams, we felt the next step was to create a showcase where the line up comprises plus size folks only.
The Plus Size Pole Showcase is a low-pressure performance space specifically for plus size pole dancers. Performers will have an allotted time to share their movement in an intimate setting to our audience and the other showcase performers.
The application form
At PSPAA we want to uplift and create a platform for all plus size folks and this means creating a diverse and representative line up. We want all of you to feel seen and reflected on the night. This means we will be asking some specific and personal questions about you in the form. If you are unsure of how to answer, you can answer “unknown” or words to that effect. If you don't want to answer, you may respond with "prefer not to say".
NOTE - The checkout time is 8 minutes - this cannot be extended. We recommend drafting your answers outside of the application form and copying them in when you are ready to complete.
We apologise for this inconvenience and will be looking into alternative platforms for future events.
