Michelle grew up in Melbourne where she developed her love for dance and performance from a young age. After a year of Calisthenics, she made the change to Gymnastics at the age of 6 and competed for 7 years around Victoria.
Not long after, Michelle become addicted to dance and attended every class available at her local dance studio, including Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap and Acrobatics. Unfortunately during her teens she severely damaged her back, which in turn stopped any form of dance. It took over 6 years for Michelle’s back to recover and by the time it did, she felt all dance opportunities were over. Until she discovered Pole!

Laiz grew up in Brazil and always dreamt of being a dancer but never had courage or time to join in any classes, with a busy life, studying and work, that wish was put aside… Until she found pole dance!! At the start of her journey it was all about the fitness side of pole she loved but with time she gained confidence and allowed herself to hear that little voice inside who just wanted to dance!

Cupcake
Cupcake is our resident Studio fur baby.
This little old girl has been part of the studio since the beginning in 2011 and if she has the energy, will be there to greet you at the door when you come in. If not, you will be sure to hear her snoring from behind the desk.
The green beanbag is her favourite and she often likes to steal the reception chair. Our very sweet natured mascot we call the 100 year old teddy bear, she also answers to Cuppy, Cupstar, Cakey and The Cup.
Oooh AND she really loves a pat or a hug, so don’t be shy.
