Join us and be part of history at the very first RISE Championship — a ground-breaking competition and celebration of pole and aerial artistry, live on the spectacular stage of The Cirk Theatre, Johannesburg.

RISE is more than a competition — it is a showcase of original and expressive aerial performances. This theatre-based event unites performers under one roof, with our 2025 debut featuring two apparatus: Pole and Aerial Hoop. Athletes from amateur through to advanced divisions will step into the spotlight, bringing passion, creativity, and dedication to every performance. From first-time competitors to seasoned athletes pushing the boundaries of expression, each routine is a powerful fusion of artistry, athleticism, and personal strength.

Expect breath-taking performances, electrifying energy, and unforgettable moments that will stay with you long after the final curtain falls.
