The Divas.Ed course was so enjoyable, and comprehensive and prepared me for teaching across levels, styles, and the vast range of humans who wander into the pole studios! Headed by Lou Landers who is an absolute powerhouse of a poler, teacher, and mama bear, we were made to feel so supported and confident in our approach every step of the way. In addition, we had Mischka, Caz and Kennetta herself teaching varying subjects, from business to anatomy, from body rolls to spotting. I trained with a gorgeous group of girls who were all powerhouses themselves managing careers and busy modern life with pole and many are now teaching across Victoria. Due to the detailed and practical aspects of the training, my first class teaching properly felt like a breeze. Most importantly I felt confident spotting and supporting my students so they feel safe to push their barriers and can count on me to get them where they want to be.

I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in Divas.Ed! The course was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from warm ups and anatomy, to trick teaching and choreography. The entire Divas.Ed team was so supportive and encouraging, both during training and after, consistently checking in, cheering us on, and providing invaluable feedback to help us continue to grow and improve. It not only left me feeling confident and prepared to pursue my career as an instructor, but also with the knowledge to help me improve in my own pole training. On top of all that, it was so much FUN! I honestly cannot recommend this program enough. I feel so lucky to be pursuing my dream as a pole instructor now, and that wouldn't have been possible with Lou and the entire Divas.Ed team. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I learned such high-quality, relevant and up-to-date content for beginner and inter prep levels of Pole. They really go through it all- from learning about the industry, to warm ups and cool downs to anatomy and conditioning, to dancing and tricks! The instructors had an incredible wealth of knowledge and I felt very grateful to be learning from some of the best pole dancers in the business. Divas Ed developed my confidence to get up at the front of the room, and developed my knowledge of tricks, in every technical detail. The vibes in the room while everyone was practicing were so supportive and encouraging! My teaching ability has grown exponentially through this course, so much so, that it has landed me my dream job at Pole Divas. This course has allowed my dreams to become reality as I embark on a new journey at Pole Divas as an instructor, and I can’t wait to share my love and passion with my students.

Divas Ed has been an incredible journey that helped me transform my passion into a rewarding career. Thanks to the program, I now work as a Lyra instructor at Pole & Aerial Divas Ringwood. What I truly appreciated about the Divas Ed program was it’s holistic approach, focusing not just on teaching the skills but also on understanding the anatomy of the body and ensuring aerial safety. The course's emphasis on rigging, apparatus safety, and spotting gave me the confidence to keep my students safe in class. Throughout the program, I felt fully supported by my instructors, who fostered open communication and provided continuous encouragement. The practical components of the course offered invaluable real-world experience, allowing me to teach in a safe, simulated environment and build my confidence. Thanks to Divas Ed, I’m fortunate to have been trained by some of the best in the aerial industry, and I am excited to continue growing as an instructor.
