Georgia
All the way from New Zealand, Georgia was a dedicated gym buff before taking her first pole class. Once she tried on her first pair of pleasers she was hooked!
Georgia is known for her slinky (AKA slutty) heels routines, constantly encouraging students to hump the floor during floorwork classes, dynamic pole moves and any moves that include elbow grip, much to the despair of her students.
Her crowning achievement is finally getting her good side front split during the pandemic when no one could go anywhere anyway!

Mell loves that love pole combines flow and strength work to help her feel strong and sexy all rolled into one!
Favourite trick: Meathook, because the name is cool, but currently her new training obsession is the also awesomely named Satellite.
