About
I started pole at 18 at the one and ONLY studio in my hometown in New Zealand, after a friend dragged me along to a class. From day one, I was completely hooked!
I’ve always loved music, movement and dance, but growing up with a very academia-focused upbringing meant I never really had the chance to explore those passions. Pole changed that. It taught me to embrace my body, love myself, and step into my feminine power.
When I moved to Melbourne back in 2019, finding a pole studio was at the top of my list, and The Pole Room quickly became my second home. Before becoming an instructor, I worked as an environmental consultant, but eventually took the leap and quit my corporate career to pursue pole dancing full-time.
I’ve since gone from student, to instructor, to Studio Manager, and I’m incredibly grateful that a random class at 18 led me here! Pole has transformed my confidence and sense of self, while giving me a space to be creative, expressive and playful. Some of my closest friendships have also come from TPR, which is why it feels like so much more than just a studio — it feels like home.

Music I love
I will dance to pretty much anything and everything! To be honest it mostly depends on my mood and if it's that time of the month! 😂 At the moment, you can find me boogying to a mix of country, old-school rock, blues and soul music. Told you, it’s wildly variable!!

Courtney
About
Zookeeper by day and Lyra monkey by night, Courtney found the aerial fitness community on the whim of a ‘new year, new me’ resolution and a little fate. “I’d originally booked a Pole class but when I arrived at the studio it was full… there was a Lyra class running at the same time so I was encouraged to try it instead. This ultimately lead me to embracing and loving Lyra.” As an instructor, Courtney always invites her students to ‘choose their own adventure’. She wants everyone to find the forms, styles and tricks they love, which will ultimately express their own individuality. Focusing on the strength and confidence that comes from Lyra, her students at our Mitcham studio are often amazed at the spectacular things their bodies can achieve.

Music I love
I sing terribly, so I let dance do the talking. My taste in music is random and I often plot overly extravagant routines. In my classes, you won’t hear a lot of the same music, but you will hear me being the biggest dork in the room and celebrating EVERY achievement, big or small.

About

Gilly discovered pole dancing in 2011 and was addicted from her very first class. She loves that pole combines fitness, fun and creativity, and can result in a stronger and more flexible body. Having a background in callisthenics, Gilly has always loved the powerful expressions and emotions that can be conveyed through the art of dance. She is a passionate teacher and loves to guide and support students on their pole journey. To Gilly, watching students grow, achieve and become more confident is an amazing reward.

Music I love
I love any music that inspires movement, and that is what I aspire to motivate my students to do. This kind of music is definitely something you will often hear in my classes. I love everything from grunge to indie to classical music. My taste in music has always been very diverse and I believe there’s a little something for everyone in my classes.

Han (Miss Honey)
About
With a natural grace and pointes similar to a Russian ballerina, Han has a passion for movement and flexibility. While her first love will always be pole dancing, she has trained in aerial ring, aerial silks and contortion. Her aerial education consists of being privately coached by Melbourne’s dedicated aerial movement teachers in established circus institutions including NICA, Circus Spot and Circus Oz. Having been an aerial circus student herself, Han recognises that students thrive with creative and attentive coaching. She is excited to be a warm and nurturing part of the pole journey for each and every Pole Room student.

Music I love
On one hand, I’ve always adored the classics. Soothing my soul with nurturing voices like Sinead O’Connor or Laura Branigan, I press play and I’m compelled to dance, to express myself! On the other hand, I do love to get sweaty in class with some Snoop Dogg!!

KP
About

After overcoming the initial trepidation from her very first class, KP decided to make an example of herself and keep coming back. Through perseverance and determination, she blossomed, going on to win ‘Breakthrough Performance’ at the 2016 Victorian Aerial Awards for a routine dedicated to her late grandfather. KP is well known in the pole performance world for channelling her every emotion, with the poise and grace that even a swan would be envious of. Since joining the TPR team in October 2018, she will proudly say her favourite part of being a pole fitness instructor is seeing students smash their pole goals and just like her, realising that they are more capable than they thought.

Music I love
‘Flowy and moody’ is the best way to describe my style of music. Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi immediately come to mind, but I’ll always have a place in my heart for the boys – yes, the Backstreet Boys. BSB 4EVA BBY!

Sian
About
8
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!

Thea
About
Looking for a confident, bird loving, flexy, rock goddess that is always down for a dance? We’ve got you covered! Thea started pole dancing many moons ago as a way to hang out with her girlfriends and do something a lil bit different.. As an instructor her favourites moments include watching her students perform her choreography on stage, whilst doing those flexy, strength moves they once thought were impossible. Working the day as an Engineer, Thea is the first to fix the loose doorhandles and leaky taps around the studio…. that is before she kicks into gear as a Pole Dance Queen in her high energy classes!

About

As a mom, Tishara knows it is important to find an activity that keeps you fit enough to keep up with your kids. For her, pole dancing is that activity. “I started Pole in 2016 as a way to avoid the gym. I used to dread working out, but with Pole, I’ll be at the studio for hours and forget I’m even breaking a sweat or burning calories. I love challenging myself to try cool new tricks, and there is always something more to learn.” Tishara started teaching in early 2018. She loves that pole dancing has given her a way to enjoy and celebrate the things her body can do, and that she can pass such a wonderful sense of achievement and self-love on to her students. “When I’m at The Pole Room, it’s such an infectious and positive atmosphere that I don’t want to leave. Eventually, they had no choice but to hire me as an instructor!”
