Testimonials

  • Suzie is a highly experienced and knowledgeable teacher who gladly imparts her expertise into up and coming instructors like myself. The course content taught me so much from how to structure a warm up and lesson plan to thinking and planning for the anatomical structures and differences in every student I will meet. Suzie also openly provides constructive feedback and encouragement throughout the course which is essential for anyone wishing to increase and refine their teaching skills. I loved learning under Suzie’s instruction

    Nellie, Instructor at Sydney Pole

Our teachers have always adored working with her, and we look forward to many more teacher trainings to come!

    Annika, Owner of Nin Yoga and Maya Movement

  • Training under Suzie and Toby has helped us more to a new level of performing. Their years of performing experience, creativity, teaching skills and passion for the performing arts is invaluable. We have learnt how to interrogate each section of our piece, focusing on audience engagement and seamless connection to character both on and off the pole. On a personal level, Suzie and Toby value human connection, health and happiness. We cannot recommend their services enough.
