What is Exotic Generation Spain?
The most important international Exotic Pole Dance festival in Spain
Exotic Generation Spain is one of Europe's leading events dedicated to Exotic Pole Dance. Created as an extension of the renowned Exotic Generation brand, the festival brings together athletes, performers, teachers, and enthusiasts from dozens of countries each year in Marbella.
The event aims to showcase the artistic, technical, and expressive aspects of Exotic Pole Dance through an international competition focused on creativity, musical interpretation, technique, and stage presence.
The 2026 edition once again confirmed the movement's growth, with an increasingly high technical level and international participation that makes Exotic Generation Spain one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year.
Applications are selected by video, and only the best performances advance to the final on the Marbella stage. This helps maintain a very high technical standard and offer the audience a top-level show.
How does the competition work?
Entry to the competition is through a video application.
Each athlete chooses the category best suited to their experience and performance style.

At Exotic Generation Spain 2026, we noticed:

- routines with a strong theatrical component;
- increasingly musical choreographies rich in detail;
- widespread use of boots rather than sandals in the Hard Style categories;
