(Bring this form completed to auditions)

Pole Control Studios infamous Kitty Kat Cabaret dance troupes shows are a potent cocktail that mixed elements from

traditional American Burlesque revues with a post-feminist punk attitude incorporating video vixen dance styles of music

videos today. Their intricately choreographed and elaborately costumed extravaganzas had much more in common with the

theatricality and humor of Vaudeville than with the strip club pole dancers of today. Pole Control studios ever changing

crew of female performers range from, acrobats, dancers, comedians and musicians. Their savvy on-stage

performancesgive you an intimate glimpse behind the curtain. Vivacious women of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to

join us. We (the Pole Control Studios dancer troop welcomed organic individuality) radiated an authentic, raw energy in our

routines that mesmerizes the audience large and small
