Our Team
Owner / Instructor
Min
Min is the owner of Cherry Pole Studio, and has been pole dancing since 2010, and instructing since 2016. She tried many different dance styles but never stuck with any of them until she tried pole after watching a pole competition in 2009. She now competes herself, and is a regular on the Miss Pole Victoria stage, amongst others. Her pole motto is "8 inches or death".
She loves all things 80s and is a crazy cat mum to two adorable fur babies named for her other passion - ancient history/mythology.
Min's favourite thing about teaching is watching students achieve things they never thought possible through dedication, persistence and commitment.

Beth
Bethanie started pole in October 2017 after winning a free class. After just a few classes she was completely hooked.
She finds the most rewarding part of pole to be the process of working towards a trick and the sense of accomplishment when she achieves it.
However, what truly makes Cherry Pole Studio special for her is the incredible community and the safe, inclusive, body positive environment and being supported in a space that celebrates everyone. The encouragement, friendships and shared passion create a welcoming and inspiring place that feels like home.

Reception
Fenia
Fenia started her pole journey in 2018 after joining a stretch class to open up her hips and strengthen her splits. Not long after, she tried her first pole class — and was hooked. She felt strong, empowered, and part of an amazing community. After taking time off for pregnancy and navigating postpartum challenges through lockdown, she returned to pole in 2022. Since then, it’s become an essential part of her life — her therapy, fitness, happiness, and community at Cherry Pole Studio.
