Lina

Lindsay was born and raised in colorful Denver, Colorado. At the young age of 5, she started gymnastics and was involved in the sport until the age of 12. Later she played nearly every sport under the sun such as soccer, volleyball, field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, and later shifted to music. Lindsay even played bass guitar and tried drums, but nothing quite stuck. She started her undergraduate college career at the University of Colorado Boulder in Boulder, Colorado where she found pole dance. After one class she was obsessed, bought her own pole one week later and she has been practicing daily since. Lindsay now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with my two kitties Illyria and Adia where she trains and coaches other pole dancers. She is currently taking dance lessons and working on developing other acrobatic skills like trampoline wall and aerial straps in the heart of the circus world of the nation. However, the pole will always be her true love. She is currently a 2-time 2016 national pole dance champion title holder and has received various awards in my pole career thus far. Lindsay is taking on new pole endeavors in the coming years in countries all over the world, continuing to compete, judge, train, and give workshop tours. She enjoys meeting new polers all over the world and my greatest achievement is inspiring others to push themselves to achieve their goals.

Nicole ThePole Willams

Rihanna made it rain on her in the Pour It Up video. Her pole tricks stopped Ne-Yo dead in his tracks in a scene from the music video for She Knows. She performed on stage with Bruno Mars at the 2013 MTV European Music Awards. Thought Freida Pinto was working that pole in the Bruno Mars Gorilla video? Nope. It was her body double, the aerial phenomenon otherwise known as “Nicole ThePole.”
Nicole Williams aka Nicole “ThePole” has a media heavy resume that reads like an A-list celebrity. There are appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Access Hollywood, The Insider and Ricki Lake. She taught Nick Lachey how to pole dance on VH1, showed the crew from Cosmopolitan magazine her moves, even gave the Grammy winning gospel group Mary Mary pole dance lessons. She has appeared in Diesel’s campaign for i-d Magazine, was the first African American to create a pole dance instructional DVD series and has one of the biggest studios in Los Angeles.
Nicole’s alter ego was born in 2007 when she saw women pole dancing at a Los Angeles house party. She immediately bought a pole and taught herself tricks by watching YouTube. At the time, she was a personal trainer and co-owner of a Personal Training gym and quickly began telling clients about her newfound obsession.
A tomboy and athlete in high school, she fell in love with the fitness aspect of pole dance. Her new outlet also offered something else… the freedom to be sexy. She learned to step into her femininity, point her toes and be graceful, learn fluidity and musicality, traits she didn’t posses prior to her pole dance training.
Nicole had a vision. She believed pole dance could be a powerful movement for women and for fitness. In 2008 she opened Allure Dance and Fitness, one of LA’s pioneer pole studios. Nicole excels as an instructor because she connects with her students, breaks down moves and most of all – makes it FUN! She reminds us if we keep a positive mindset and “Can Do” attitude anything is possible.

Tea started pole dancing at the beginning of 2014 at the age of almost 28. Immediately at the first class, she fell in love with the pole. Soon she began to practice pole dance every day at home while at the same time learning other aerial arts such as aerial silk and lyra. She became an instructor, and at the end of August 2016, she opened her own pole dance and aerial arts studio “Star House” in Zadar, Croatia. She finds the greatest compliment when other dancers think she has been doing ballet or gymnastics since the truth is just the opposite – she has no sport or dance background. Her motto is “Work hard, dream big, do more” and with her example, she wants to encourage people to believe in themselves and their dreams.
Tia Jax

Tia has been pole dancing since 2013. As a trained dancer (jazz, tap, ballet, acro, modern, lyrical, hip hop) and dance teacher of 12+ years, she had adapted to pole dancing quickly, especially being that her first teaching opportunity was at age 16. Surprisingly she taught Erotic Dance and Chair Dance classes for a local women’s fitness facility.
Tia started as a Student at Brass Vixens in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Five months into her pole journey she had been qualified to compete in the Ontario Regional Canadian Pole Fitness Championships. Competing in an amateur division, she won 1st place, champion.
Tia started pole dancing for the sport of it but then soon found a passion for Erotic Pole Dance. Just one year later in 2014, she decided to compete at TGWN (The Great White North) Pole Dance Competition. She had won 2nd runner up in a Semi-Professional division.
By this time Tia was now a top instructor and was getting noticed and popularized for her Erotic Choreography both Pole Dance and Chair Dance. Tia has created curriculums/teacher training-manuals for Erotic Chair, Erotic Pole, and Flexibility classes.
In 2015, Tia competed in Chicago, Illinois for the Midwest’s NAPDC (National American Pole Dance Championship) and won 2nd place in the Erotic Division. It was there that her talent was beginning to be recognized.
In 2016, Tia competed at Ontario’s TGWN Pole Dance Competition in the Erotic Division and won 1st place.
Also in 2016, She was qualified to compete in Orlando’s Dance Filthy Pole Dance Competition being viewed by International Pole Stars Michelle Shimmy and Maddie Sparkle. Though she didn’t place, Tia was honored to have been chosen and was elated to have shared the stage with such talent.
By 2017, her popularity was blossoming, eminently after competing in the Pole Sport Organization (PSO) Competition in Los Angeles, California where she won 2nd place in the Level 5, Erotic division. She was recognized by many dancers and studio owners.
Tia offers her signature workshops, internationally. She loves to travel whether it is to train for herself or to train others. Additionally, she is the proud Ambassador of 123 Poling and Polehearted Activewear.
“My style of erotic dance combines physical strength, stamina, and flexibility. It requires a sense of grace and technique. It promotes mental strength and confidence. I feel the most powerful when I can be sensual/sexy, not for any man, FOR ME.” -Tia Jax
