Celebrating a Decade of Pole Passion: The 123poling Story

This year, we are celebrating a decade of Pole Passion — a journey that transformed a spark of inspiration into a global and trusted platform for pole education. Let us share the 123poling story and how it continues to impact the pole community today. Ten years ago, Irina and Devon, the founders of this platform, couldn’t have imagined how their lives would intertwine with the world of pole dancing. What began as a love for the art form in a small studio apartment has since grown into a global platform. 123poling has inspired and empowered countless pole dancers. As we celebrate 10 years of 123poling, it’s time to look back at how this incredible journey began.

How It All Began: A Passion for Pole Dancing

In 2007, Irina discovered pole dancing and immediately fell in love with it. What started as a personal passion soon transformed into a mission to share the art form with others. By 2010, she opened Sugar Dance Studio in Brooklyn New York, where she spent six years teaching, training new pole instructors, and coaching competitors. Irina’s teaching methods, attention to detail, and progression-focused approach quickly made her a sought-after pole instructor. Her pole studio became a haven for women looking to embrace their strength and grace through pole dancing.

The Creative Vision: Devon’s Entry into the Pole World

Devon, a professional cinematographer and photographer with over 20 years of experience, had always been passionate about filmmaking. In 2012, he was drawn into the world of pole dancing when he produced a promotional video for Irina’s pole studio. Although Devon never climbed the pole himself, he became fascinated by the artistry and movement. His creative vision and technical skills led to the production of easy-to-follow pole dancing lessons that have now become a cornerstone of 123poling.

The Birth of 123poling: From a Studio Apartment to a Global Platform

In 2014, Irina and Devon set out on a new adventure: creating online pole dance tutorials. With limited resources, they turned Irina’s small studio apartment into a makeshift film studio. They removed furniture, painted the walls black, and used Devon’s professional equipment to create high-quality tutorials. It was a labor of love, and on September 1st, 2014, their first website launched with 80 pole tutorials ranging from beginner to advanced levels.

Despite having no prior experience in web development, Irina took on the challenge of building the website herself. As their member base grew, so did the requests. Students wanted more — pole combos, pole routines, and specialty pole lessons. The founders listened and expanded. They started working with other pole instructors, bringing in over 40 incredible pole athletes, pole artists, and pole celebrities from around the world. What started as a humble collection of pole lessons evolved into a comprehensive platform. You will find there everything from exotic pole and floor work to twerk, handstands, stretching, and more.

Expanding the Pole Community: Supporting Pole Instructors and Pole Students Alike

Irina and Devon’s vision for 123poling has always been bigger than just the two of them. Their successful affiliate partner program has paid out thousands of dollars to their affiliate pole partners, further emphasizing their commitment to giving back to the pole community. 

They’ve worked hard to support the pole community by offering opportunities for pole instructors to host and sell their pole courses on the platform. This year, they launched a new program – 123poling Marketplace. Such innovation not only supports pole instructors. Students also get the chance to learn from even more pole experts from around the world on a professional platform.

123poling is more than just a learning platform. It’s a thriving ecosystem of pole instructors, students, and partners working together to elevate the art of pole dancing.

The most affordable pole education

Over the years, 123poling has undergone numerous transformations, from their initial DIY website to the professionally developed platform you see today. Yet, despite the changes, one thing has remained constant: their commitment to making pole education accessible and affordable. Over the years, they’ve built the most affordable platform for learning pole dancing online. The monthly membership starts as low as $19.99 USD per month. However, they wanted to offer something even more valuable—a lifetime membership.
