Every judge on our panel was chosen intentionally ; selected for the category they represent because they truly embody it, not just technically, but in how they move, create, and exist within it.
We feel genuinely blessed to have them.
And as a SW-supportive event, we made sure everyone of them either walks a SW path themselves or stands firmly committed to the community that built this art form.
Their presence means everything.
Chaque membre de notre jury a été choisi avec intention ; sélectionné·e pour la catégorie qu'il·elle représente parce qu'il·elle l'incarne ; pas seulement techniquement, mais dans sa façon de bouger, de créer et d'exister au sein de celle-ci.
Nous sommes sincèrement touché·e·s de pouvoir compter sur elle.ux. Et en tant qu'événement TDS-supportive, nous avons veillé à ce que chacun·e d'entre elleux soit soit engagé·e dans un parcours TDS, soit fermement investi·e dans le soutien à la communauté qui a construit cet art. Leur présence compte énormément.

Headjudge for Fluidity Criteria -
Liquid Category Headjudge
"On the LUST stage, I want to see passion, honesty, and You: fully and unapologetically yourself. As the main judge of the liquid category, I’m looking for fluidity, seamless transitions, and a performance that feels like one continuous breath from beginning to end, like eternal waves in motion.
Bring yourself in your best way, not the hardest way. I value precision, control, and attention to detail over unnecessary difficulty. Let your movement speak and most importantly, enjoy it. If you feel it, everyone will. "
Bianca started her movement journey at the age of three as an artistic roller skater. Years later, while studying law, she stumbled upon pole dance and instantly knew she had found something that truly resonated with her.
Although she was on track to graduate and pursue a traditional legal career, she chose a different path. Bianca followed her intuition, opened a studio in Italy, and committed to building a life around pole dance and creativity.
Today, she is based back home in Slovenia, where she teaches pole and makes shoes, two passions that continue to shape her world. Her movement style has evolved from dynamic tricks into a more intentional, flow-based approach, focusing on seamless transitions, amplitude, and presence.
For her, it’s no longer about chasing goals, but about feeling, exploring, and helping others connect to themselves, moving with intention and embracing who they are, unapologetically.
