Every week we feature one of our beautiful students on our Facebook page and have them share some of their journey and a bit about themselves.
Our studio family are made up women and some men from all walks of life and a huge a mix of ages, personalities and abilities. Here are some of their stories…
Our gorgeous girl Brianna is the ripe age of 18 and is a waitress at a small Chinese restaurant in Torquay. She is also studying year 12 at Lorne.
Currently in Inter 2 Static and Inter 1 spin, and is at the studio up to 7 hours a week smashing out lots of classes!
Since February 1st.
I started because I’d been looking to do it for a while and I’ve wanted to do it since I was 6!
My biggest challenge so far has been not spinning out and also my Aerial Vs.
I love the way I feel when I walk into the studio, I love how sweet and encouraging everyone is and how it really feels like a big family, and I love how confident it has made me in my own body!
I plan to compete, and hopefully to win a few more sashes, as well as to be able to do get my splits perfect and flat.
Lovely Liv is a 24 year old Social Worker and currently smashing it out in Advanced Prep Static.
I’ve been pole dancing since January so around 9 months and i have loved every minute of it!
I started pole because I was completely sick of the gym but still wanted to be active. I also thought it was a great way to meet other people and make some great friends! One day I suddenly built up the courage and booked my first class and have never looked back!
My biggest challenge has probably been Ariel Vs. I have found them so hard to get and once I got them it was hard to be consistent with them. Its a love hate relationship really! They are something I am being persistent with and can see myself getting better at.
I love the people the most. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging, both students and staff. It just creates such a welcoming environment that keeps you feeling confident and included! I have met some great people so far. I also love performing at performance nights to see how far i have come and to have a bit of fun!
My favourite move that I love in pole dancing is the push out V, which I am yet to learn, but I can’t wait!
Our stunning Sam is 25 years old and is a Retail Manager and (an amazing) Make Up Artist. Working hard in Advanced 3 static and spin.
Off and on for 5 years now.
A few years back when I was working with a team of makeup artists we were given the opportunity to do makeup for a Pole Diva’s competition. While we got to work, all these amazing girls were doing their run trough’s. It was the most amazing thing watch. All these ladies move so gracefully and with stuck strength. Next thing I knew I was looking up near by studio’s and trying to start ASAP.
Going to class after getting my tattoos done. My skin gets really sensitive; I have to retain my skin all over again. I lose strength, so it would feel like I’ve taken one step forward and five steps back. Also facing Meg’s in class and having her tell me off for getting more tattoos, I’m scared she’ll beat me up ;)
The environment, everyone is so lovely and supportive. They are my family. I can go and be my silly clumsy self and it’s just normal.
To not fall off the pole, currently I’ve had 3 major falls. Lets keep it that way.
Jojo is 52 years young, is an Occupational Public Servant and currently working hard in Advance 1 static and Intermediate 2 spin classes.
I’ve been Pole dancing for 3 years.
I started Pole dancing when l walked past the Kylie J Studio & said that would be fun to do l haven’t looked back.
My biggest challenge is the dancing part & the back crucifix, at my age my hips aren’t that flexible but I’m getting better each time l go
I have 2 Pole goals:
Our gorgeous Dani is full of spunk and currently in Advanced 3 classes. She’s 25 years old and works in Fashion/Retail.
I’ve been doing pole dancing for about 5 or 6 years.
To be honest, I didn’t want to trying pole dancing at first as I struggle with coming out of my comfort zone. But when I was visiting some friends that do pole dancing in Canberra. they convinced me to have a ‘play’. Before I new it, The minute I got back to Geelong I had booked myself in to start at Kylie J pole studio as soon as possible.
The biggest challenge I have faced so far along my pole dancing journey would have to be overcome my fear/ love of performing and competing.
I love the rush and the buzz of being on stage, but at the same time I’m so harsh on myself. So competing/performing in front of crowds has been a huge challenge for me. One of the reasons why I love pole dancing so much is how it allows you to be so creative with different styles and creating shapes.
My biggest pole goal would have to be one day holding an iron X (one day) and to build on my own confidence to become a better performer.
Our bendy beautiful Demi is 22 years old and currently training in Advanced 1 Spin and Advanced 1 Static.
I’ve been pole dancing for two and a half years.
I started pole because a friend from the studio suggested I try it. I really missed dance classes and wanted to try something new!
My upper body strength. There are some things I’ve been working on for basically two years, but it just means it’s all the more rewarding when I improve and finally get them!
There’s so much to love!
To continue to build my strength and get my aerial V.
