Why does the DPC has no levels compared to other competition?  
At Dubai Pole Cup we view Pole as an art form and do not want to limit our athletes to any tricks, nor restrict them in anyway shape or form on their creativity on stage. 
All athletes will be put into the appropriate categories and at a level best suited to him/her.
