Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Guest: Paige Cooper!
Q: Can you explain what Express is and who can compete?
Express is a freestyle pole competition open to anyone currently in the industry, allowing entrants to choose a genre and perform a three-and-a-half-minute number with a focus on showmanship and audience interaction rather than strictly technical scoring.
Santanico Pandemonium eat your heart out IT'S STEPHANIE JANE!
Q: What shifted your focus toward showgirl and theatre elements?
Stephanie describes Fringe festivals, Virago Circus, Somnia, and live music collaborations that broadened her scope beyond traditional pole into cabaret and theatre.
Santanico Pandemonium eat your heart out IT'S STEPHANIE JANE!
Q: How did you transition from being a student to teaching?
She details joining Fizzy Pole's instructor program in Adelaide, then leveraging early teaching experience to accelerate her career and develop a teaching pipeline.
Santanico Pandemonium eat your heart out IT'S STEPHANIE JANE!
Q: What got you into pole dancing and who was your first teacher?
Stephanie explains starting in Adelaide at Lady Love with heel-focused training, inspired by a teacher in high school who pole danced, and how that seeded her passion.
The name on everybody's lips is gunna be....
Q: What is your hot piece of toast takeaway advice for those people that are teetering on that edge?
People are never truly ready for their first competition; the key is to just enter, gain experience, and accept some embarrassment as part of learning. Preparation helps, but emotional readiness is something you can't fully coach, so take the leap and test the waters.
