Once upon a time, two women met and bonded over their love of pole dancing. They joked about their dream of opening a pole studio together… and then a few years later that dream became a reality.

Stef
Stef found pole in 2016 after finishing treatment for cancer and decided life was worth living and to do something she’s always wanted to. She first tried heels in 2019 after borrowing a friends pair and was quickly hooked! By 2021 and quite a few of her own pairs of heels bought, Stef was instructing choreo classes. She loves the versatility that heels bring you to be able to express yourself. Plus who can resist them when they’re so pretty?!
