>Ignite 3rd Place 2016 (doubles pole)
Nin began pole in 2015 after watching Anastasia Sokolova’s Ukraine’s Got Talent routine. With no prior dance experience, it was a challenging start but she soon fell in love with the sport and worked hard to develop some of the strength and grace she admired in her idols. She started teaching pole in 2017. When PADCS expanded to include aerials, Nin couldn’t wait to try new ways to fly upside down so she started Lyra in 2018. Also a qualified primary school teacher, Nin loves seeing students finally conquer their nemesis moves and grow in strength and confidence each week.

Since 2017 she has lived and breathed aerials through coaching, performing and competing. Her main specialties are Tissue and Hammock, but anything hanging from the ceiling will put a big smile on her face. Her mission is to see that same big smile on others’ faces.

Mimi
>Airborne finalist (doubles) 2022
After trying out almost every fitness activity under the sun (Zumba, pilates, swimming, yoga, aerobics, kickboxing, tennis, you name it), nothing captivated Mimi quite like when she stepped through the doors of Pole Divas… it was love at first class! Eventually working her way up to 6-8 classes per week, Pole Divas soon became her second home. With a strong background in music having played the piano since she was 3, a solid foundation in movement having placed 2nd in Nationals for Sports Aerobics, and a deep passion for teaching with a Master’s degree in Teaching, becoming an instructor at her second home ‘just made sense’. More than anything, Mimi loves empowering women to do what they love, move how they want, and reclaim their inner Diva. Her goal in each class is for every student to walk out feeling capable of achieving absolutely anything in the world!

Kristee
Kristee started dancing at age 4 doing ballet, tap, and jazz. She passed her first ballet exam, and a few years later gave up dancing to instead pursue drama; where she eventually performed, directed and wrote multiple plays. After giving up both dance and drama to focus on her university studies, Kristee soon realised that she wanted to find a sport that combined her love of movement with the performance aspect of drama. On a whim, Kristee walked into a pole studio for a free trial class and was quickly hooked - beginning her first pole class in May 2015. She began Hoop in February of 2017, and in 2018 also began training other aerials such as Silks and Aerial Hammock/Yoga. She began competing in aerials in 2016, and found that it was the best way for her to combine her love of aerials and performing! In early 2019, Kristee joined Pole & Aerial Divas Caroline Springs as a student, and ever since has been involved all things Divas! Kristee is also a qualified Yoga and Pilates Instructor.
Alicia spent the most part of her early childhood years as an artistic gymnast, competing at a state & national level. She started the sport at age 3 and ended her career age 13.
During her high school years she took dance as an elective subject focusing on jazz & hip hop. During & post her VCE she continued to develop her skills as a dancer taking up hip hop & recreational break dance. But at the age of 19 she suffered a bulge disc injury in her lower back and was told from her doctor & physio “to give up dancing, you will never dance again”. At the age of 21 she decided to get her body moving again and took up pole dance. It was the best decision of her life! She thought, ‘Not only was this fun, but my core is getting stronger & I’m dancing again!’. She was so proud to prover her doctors and medical team wrong!
During this time she became a certified personal trainer & Zumba instructor, many years on she was offered the chance to become an instructor for Pole & Aerial Divas Caroline Springs. She had always dreamed of one day becoming a dance instructor and was thrilled when she was given the opportunity.
