Megan
Instructor
Megan began gymnastics at the ripe old age of 4 at the Geelong Gymnastics Centre where she flipped her way for 11yrs to level 8 National. It was there she discovered her love for dance when she joined ‘Gym danze’ a group which combined gymnastics with a bit of hip hop. Regular performances at the Supercats basketball games and in the annual ‘Wish on a star’ concert helped her develop the passion for performing.
It wasn’t until her teen years that she started dancing and teaching hip hop for a local dance school.

Stephanie
Instructor
Stephanie began her pole journey back in 2011 when she, her sister & their friend signed up for classes after attending a hens party at the studio and has never looked back!!
To Stephanie, pole was the perfect way to have fun, get fit and to condition and strengthen her core after having several abdominal surgeries.
Though she had no prior dance or gymnastics training, Stephanie found she was a natural with dance and flexibility and started forming her love for all things Pole!
Pru

Pru began pole on 2012 in Shepparton and instantly fell in love with the idea of exercising in heels!
2 years later, Pru is high level Advanced in Static and Spinning pole, has competed in 2 Pole on the Pier competitions in Intermediate and Advanced sections, performed a solo piece at the studio fundraiser night and is part of the studio promotions team for expo’s and shows.
“Initially it was a bit of a ‘hidden pleasure’ until I understood the health benefits and recognized it was the best form of fitness I had ever tried.
Michelle
Instructor
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!

Cupcake
Studio Support
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.
