Moonee Ponds Instructors

Tania Fletcher (OWNER)

With her extensive background in various forms of dance, including ballet, jazz, contemporary and her beloved hip-hop, Tania was amazed at the level of strength and stamina required for pole dancing and immediately fell in love with the challenge! A natural performer, Tania and her best friend Lisa were the reigning doubles champions for three consecutive Unleashed events, and have also performed numerous freestyle shows at various clubs around Melbourne as podium dancers.

After completing a Double degree (Science/Arts) and travelling extensively around the world, Tania returned to Melbourne to follow a completely different path, opening her own Pole Divas studio in Moonee Ponds! Having taught at Prahran for nearly 2 years and seeing the enjoyment, dedication and incredible physical transformation in her students, she felt compelled to provide women in the west with the same opportunity, and has never looked back!

Sarah George

Sarah worked as an exotic performer at all of Melbourne’s major men’s clubs for 3 years, quickly progressing to a stage performer and becoming a headline act at venues all across the country. She has held various titles such as Miss Nude Victoria, and appeared in magazines such as Ralph and Penthouse. Since retiring from exotic dancing, Sarah’s talents lead her to new ventures, appearing in various TV commercials, being MC at Sexpo, and most importantly becoming a mum to a beautiful baby girl Samsara.

Sarah has no professional dance training which leads her to believe that ANY woman can learn to move in a way that compliments her body and expresses her sensuality. Sarah loves teaching Pole Moves, choreographing shows and performing with the Pole Divas.
