Jodie started pole dancing 6 years ago and became obsessed very quickly. Between pole classes, a love of aerial skills also developed quickly & she has trained Silks and Lyra for 3 years. After 3 years of pole training she took her instructor training course with Pole Dance Academy in Sydney & started teaching. Jodie took a break from pole 2 years ago when she had a little girl & made the move south. She believes there is no better way to get back into fitness than pole dancing and is loving the challenge of whipping her body back into shape. What she loves most about pole dancing is the supportive, no judgement community where everyone accepts everyone for who they are.

Tristin started pole dancing for the very first time in April 2019 at Mad Hatters being trained by Frostbite. As a mother of 4 at almost 40 this was something she was doing for herself. She found it a fun way to exercise in a non-judgmental environment. Tristin is open about her mental health and pole dancing and the culture of the Mad Hatters Studio has had a profound impact on this. Tristin enjoys to challenge and push herself and she quickly fell in love with pole for this reason, she sees it as an individual goal but in a supportive, encouraging team environment. Due to Tristin’s nature to push herself she decided within about a month of starting that she’d like to work towards a competition. She trained hard, this is not for everyone; however with the coaching from Frostbite she successfully auditioned and made it through to her first competition, Grassroots pole dancing championships in November 2019, just over 6 months after starting. While she didn’t place first (no other placing a were announced), she smashed out her routine had a blast and was super proud!! Tristin’s young daughters are both in the children’s class in Ulladulla, which she teaches with Frostbite. Tristin feels very strongly about correct technique as she does not feel strong in her upper body and has a weak/slightly injured shoulder. However with correct technique she has accomplished many amazing things on the pole. Tristin has helped other students in classes and when teachers have been sick and really enjoys being able to support and encourage other students with technique and conditioning. Tristin brings to the studio a bright, fun and caring energy. As someone who suffered body image issues, she is a strong advocate for body positivity as well as mental health and this comes through in her interaction with others.
