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!

Philippa
became addicted to pole dancing when she attended a Polesations class.
Since then she has grown to love pole dancing as a truly athletic and
sexy form of dance that builds body confidence and strength.

win both the Advanced and the Doubles awards at Unleashed 2009. She
also represented Victoria at the Miss Pole Dance Australia (Doubles)
finals in Sydney the same year. Most recently, Philippa won the title of 1st Runner up in the Miss Pole Dance Victoria 2011 competition! Her love of high energy pole

giada caluzzi
School teacher by day, Pole Diva by night,
Giada began Pole dancing in Wellington, New Zealand four years ago
during a brief stay. Upon her return to Australia, she joined Pole
Divas classes to satisfy her insatiable new passion for pole! Having
worked her way through the ranks to complete our highest advanced
level classes, she has been thrilled to become an instructor and
combine her enjoyment of teaching with her love for pole.
Many hours spent in lecture halls completing both a BA and an MA in
Linguistics and Education, have convinced her there’s no place better
than up a pole! Keeping 25 teenagers focused on the finer points of
English grammar during her day job provides Giada with plenty of ideas
on how to keep pole classes friendly, engaging and fun! As one of our
newest Pole Divas, Giada is keen to show her students exactly why she’s
Addicted to Pole!

MISS GeorgIe
Miss Georgie has been with Pole Divas for a number of years and takes
some of our fabulous workshops! She 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. Miss Georgie
loves teaching Pole Moves, choreographing shows and performing with the
Pole Divas. Her talents lead her to new ventures, appearing in various
TV commercials, being MC at Miss Burlesque Australia and Pole Divas
events, and most importantly becoming a mum to a beautiful baby girl
Samsara.
