Captivate Show Choreography Pricing

The following information details additional pricing and specifics for official PoleCoven performance opportunities. Unofficial performance opportunities don't require these fees, and support will be provided based on individual needs. Additional pricing for the solo program or group show pieces is as follows.

Solo Program (Winter and/or Summer)

Fee: $400 (option to break payments into 3 installments)
‍Process: By application (online form due by Oct 4th, 2024; notification by October 9th, 2024)
General Info
  • Limited to 12-16 spots, regardless of level and experience. Enrollment is by application, and you must be in a performer program (2 of the 3 plans include a discount for the solo program)
  • Program runs per season. You can participate in either the Winter or Summer season program, or both if choosing a shorter enrollment period.
  • If you're interested in the solo program, enrolment in one of the three PoleCoven performance plans is mandatory.
  • This program doesn't limit the number of solos you create or co-create, but facilitates the process and outcome.
Solo Details and Style Tracks
  • All solos are collaborative with the production team and co-created/choreographed.
  • PoleCoven may occasionally produce a full set concept, offering solos/features/vignettes to students enrolled in the solo track.
  • Pole skills in solos/features/vignettes will be decided collaboratively with lead instructors. Students may only perform skills considered safe for their skill levels.
  • Music will be predetermined in certain productions. Students can participate in a style of their choosing, knowing the songs in advance.
  • For PoleCoven-produced shows, students co-creating full solo acts will co-select music with the producer's guidance. This collaboration aims to find song choices that fit both the show and the student's aesthetic.
  • Program participants can join multiple Style Tracks but may only perform in styles they're experienced in, currently training in, or have attended specialty classes/workshops for.
Required Workshops
  • Concept Creation and Storytelling (hosted by Vanessa Lalonde, founder of Luminesque)

General Info
  • Enrollment in the performer program is not mandatory. However, if enrolled, you receive 1-2 credits towards a group piece and discounts on additional pieces.
  • Limited spots available, with priority given to Captivate participants. Not all pieces will be open to the general public. Some skill prerequisites may apply depending on choreography.
  • Information about group pieces (rehearsal times, intent, song, etc.) will be released in mid-October.
  • Each group will have 6-12 participants. Group pieces will mix styles, with some incorporating pole and others focusing on floorwork.
  • Some pieces will be all-levels, while others may have skill or experience prerequisites. At least one piece will focus on fundamental skills for those who prefer that opportunity.
  • You don't need to be enrolled as a performance student to participate in group pieces. However, if you are a performance student, your plan includes 1-2 credits for group pieces.
