About

Starting out as a shy and nervous person, pole dancing has completely transformed her into an outgoing and confident person both in life and in pole. She had never danced before joining the pole room in 2020, but from the minute she walked in it was love at first sight. Her passion is in dance and acro based tricks but loves all aspects of the sport. She's always been keen to help people achieve their pole goals and to become a teacher is the perfect step for her to continue her dream. She loves using her creativity to create performances to showcase and compete with, and to feel confident and strong. Her first competition was The Pole Room's own Shine competition, going ahead to win the Shine Student Award for the 2021/22 year.

Elyshia is known for her vibrant personality, often referred to as the “loud one” by her family and friends—she simply doesn’t have an inside voice! When she’s not instructing in the studio, she works as an IT helpdesk professional, but her real passion lies in pole arts. Her journey into pole began when a friend suggested they try it together. After a week of researching and eagerly planning, her friend backed out—but by then, she was determined to give it a go on her own. That solo step turned into a full-blown passion, and she hasn’t looked back since. As an instructor, she thrives on seeing her students achieve their goals and witnessing the pure joy on their faces when they master a challenging move. For her, those moments are the most fulfilling part of teaching. In addition to holding a Bachelor’s degree in Animal and Veterinary Biosciences, she is also certified in fitness, having completed Cert III & IV. This blend of academic knowledge and practical fitness expertise helps her offer a well-rounded, safe, and effective approach to instruction. She has showcased her talents in numerous performances and competitions, including Hardcore, VPC, MXPDV, Sexy’s Back, Pole Candy, Pole Art, Podium Goddess Glow, Pole Theatre, Debut, PCS, and Vortex. Since beginning her teaching journey in 2022, she has quickly become a dedicated and motivating figure in the pole community. Looking to the future, her goals include competing in both the APC and MPDA. With her infectious enthusiasm and commitment to her students, she’s excited to continue inspiring others in their pole journeys.

Music I love

The music I love might be described as “terrible” by all my friends, but for me, it’s the perfect mix of emo nostalgia. Growing up, I jammed to a blend of Britney Spears and Hilary Duff alongside Green Day and Simple Plan, so my tastes were all over the place early on. In my dance classes, you’ll hear a bit of everything—especially rock or 90s hits. My playlist is as diverse as it gets; if it were possible, my iPod would have whiplash from all the genre switches!

• Linkin Park
• Green Day
• Britney Spears
• Stack Is The New Black
• Taylor Swift

9+ Years Experience

Jake began his pole journey in 2017 with Pole Princess and quickly fell in love with the combination of strength, artistry, and self-expression that pole offers.

With a background in dance, gymnastics, and acrobatics, Jake spent several years training with the Flying Fruit Fly Circus during his teens, developing the athleticism and performance skills that continue to influence his pole style today.

His first competition was The Pole Room's SHINE in 2019, where he placed 2nd in the Advanced Category. Since then, he has continued to grow as both an athlete and performer, taking home the title of MXPDV Champion in 2024 and EXOGEN Men's Division Champion in 2025.

Today, Jake is the Studio Manager of The Pole Room CBD and is passionate about helping students build confidence, achieve their goals, and discover what they're capable of both on and off the pole. His classes are known for being supportive, encouraging, and just the right amount of nuts.

When he's not in the studio, you'll usually find him with his nose in a book, playing video games, or dreaming about his next margarita on a beach somewhere.

Music I love

Jake’s music taste is extremely eclectic, with absolutely no respect for genre or consistency. 😂 His playlists can jump from Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Parkway Drive and Brooke Candy to Annie Lennox, Florence + The Machine, Melissa Etheridge and Luther Vandross. Throw in a few movie soundtracks (especially The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Les Misérables) and you’ve got the full picture. He grew up listening to his mum’s favourites like Cher and ABBA, and honestly… it all went downhill from there.

Grew up on Phillip Island, Sian started pole in late 2017. A friend was going to classes and it looked like a fun alternative to gym and maybe a way to get out of her introvert shell. Sian is more a trick pony than a routine poler, but loves any excuse to dress up and have a boogie to anything exotic. She loves spending time with her partner Georgia, her dog and family. And in Sian's off the pole time she likes painting and playing video games. For a fun exotic dance or to smash your demon tricks, book a class with Sian today!
