What is Exotic Generation Spain?
The most important international Exotic Pole Dance festival in Spain
Exotic Generation Spain is one of the most important events dedicated to Exotic Pole Dance in Europe. Born as an extension of the famous Exotic Generation brand, the festival annually brings together athletes, performers, teachers, and enthusiasts from dozens of countries in Marbella.
The event's goal is to enhance the artistic, technical, and expressive aspects of Exotic Pole Dance through an international competition that focuses on creativity, musical interpretation, technique, and stage presence.
The 2026 edition once again confirmed the growth of the movement, with an increasingly high technical level and international participation that makes Exotic Generation Spain one of the most anticipated events of the year.
Applications are selected via video, and only the best performances advance to the final on the Marbella stage. This ensures a very high technical standard and offers the audience a top-level show.
How does the competition work?
Entry to the competition is through video application.
Each athlete chooses the category best suited to their experience and performance style.
Performances are judged by an international jury that assigns a score considering:
