Ming has always enjoyed the stage.  As a student, she was used to performing at school events. After graduating from NUS with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, she took the normal corporate path but there was hardly any passion in what she was doing. She was certain that performing would not be a life-long career but took the chance to make the switch anyway, and that switch soon proved to be life-changing. The singing competition titles she won definitely helped launch her, and soon got her sporadic assignments to perform at corporate events.  She has not looked back since. 17 years later, she remains one of Singapore’s top veteran performers, known more popularly as Singapore’s ‘Suzie Wong’.

Ming chanced upon pole dancing when she wanted to expand her performance skills. She fell in love with pole instantly when she attended her first class. Shortly, she tried to introduce pole dance performance to corporate events. It was hard trying to convince clients in the beginning that pole dancing is both athletic and tasteful, and not confined to clubs. She persevered and soon became the first to incorporate pole dance with singing in corporate gigs and to date, this fusion act is one of the more frequently requested acts, and it helped that her show is called the “Pole-fessional” Show. The show has been performed before Ministers, for MNCs, government bodies, hospitals, you name it. Most of the time after a performance, she gets impressed female guests running after her to ask where they can learn pole dancing, that was when she decided to teach pole dance for fitness. It was a big pat on her back when her team of 10 pole performers was asked to perform in National Day Parade 2009. Ming now owns Acro Polates which offers both pole and aerial fitness courses.

Another affirmation that pole dance is now a recognized form of healthy sport/dance when a fitness gym opens pole dance classes and collaborated with Acro Polates to provide instructors.

Eunice has extensive experience in various types of dance but her passion lies with pole dance fitness.  She is highly respected by her students and peers for her skills as an instructor and performer.

Eunice started teaching pole dance fitness five years ago, and her teaching syllabus and methods are approved & accredited by Pole Dance Community (UK). She has also recently been accredited the Viva Vertical Pole Fitness GYM Certification endorsed by International Pole Dance Fitness Association (IPDFA) and Aerial arts Academy.

Eunice continues to train in other dance types such as exotic, jazz, contemporary, hip hop and reggae.

Some of her performances include Chingay 2005, PAYM Festival, Cleo Bachelor Party, National Day 2009, Prevention of Cervical Cancer at Zouk and Oschool 2007 – 2010 recitals.

Lydia was born in New Zealand and moved to Singapore when she was 7 years old.  During her University days in Australia, she got her first taste of pole dancing and aerial circus arts and fell in love with these unique and challenging forms of exercise. She went on to teach pole dance fitness classes in Adelaide and conducted pole demonstrations at parties throughout the city.

After graduation, Lydia went on to work for Club Med Phuket as a Circus instructor, where she instructed and performed a variety of circus acts such as the Spanish Web, Flying Trapeze, Aerial Silks, Double Trapeze as well as Adagio.

She also spent a year in Sydney teaching gymnastics in primary schools. Since returning to Singapore, Lydia has continued to pursue her passion for pole dance and aerial fitness and is very keen to bring popularity to these fitness forms in Singapore. Pole dancing incorporates all the elements of an excellent work out routine – strength (it will strengthen and tone your entire body), stamina, flexibility and grace… and all whilst you are having a ton of fun! 

When searching for a dance style that suits Karen’s addiction of “freedom to express”, she picked up contemporary dance, salsa and hip hop. The latter appealed to her the most and she started extensive training in freestyle hip hop. In 2001, she went on to form a competitive all-girls hip hop team “Da street Soulz” and clinched several titles which started the group on performances.

Karen continued to search her dance identity and when she chanced upon pole dancing, impressed by how fitness is married with dance form, she was certain she found her new calling, and decided to pursue it more seriously. She spends much time these days in practicing new pole techniques, attends workshops by International Pole ad Aerial teachers like Suzie Q & V Lea and performs pole dance fitness regularly in events to hone her pole skills. All her efforts seem to be paying off handsomely as Karen is Singapore’s Overall Champion in the 1^st SG Polestar championship, and went on to be Singapore’s representative in the World Pole Dance Championship held in Tokyo in Dec 2010.

To further expand her aerial skills, Karen attained her Pole Fitness Instructor Certification and continues to attend up to 4/5 days a week of pole training, gymnastics and aerial silk and aerial hoop. Karen seems to enjoy these new challenges, and believes in pushing herself mentally and physically.

Gwen's  interest in dance was sparked by a chance to perform in a corporate event. The experience created a hunger for her  to explore new dances. She first picked up modern jazz then later belly dance. When  she saw some pole dance videos and pictures, she got intrigued and curious about pole dancing. Three years ago she started taking pole dance fitness lessons under the tutelage of Eunice S and Ming L, and have since developed a strong passion. Now her  fitness regime incorporates mainly running, pole dancing and aerial fitness. Running is great for the cardio while pole dancing/aerial fitness increases strength, control and flexibility which she finds very complementary.

This year she took part in the In-house category of the SG Pole Challenge and was glad to be awarded Champion. She is  ready to take the step of imparting pole dance skills to new comers.
