MEET THE TEAM AT THE BRASS BAR

MISS DEB (AKA AVISPA) - BOSS LADY

Deb started poling in 2014 as a method of exercise rehabilitation following a car accident, and has poled consistently since then, so she is well versed in how to pole around injuries and disabilities! Her passion is igniting everyone else’s passion for dance! A bellydancer since 1992, Deb loves to celebrate feminine grace, beautiful lines and curves, and our abilities to move our bodies in incredible ways. Deb is also a three time amateur Floorplay finalist and loves the sisterhood that naturally develops through performing together. Deb is super proud of the wonderful group of teachers she has ready to guide you through your pole journey.

MISS RACHEL

Rachel’s sporting journey began with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & she competed at international level, winning gold in her weight division at the Australasian Championships in 2010. A major knee injury prevented her continuing so while she was trying out other forms of fitness, she tried her first pole class at what is now The Brass Bar in 2014. She was hooked in every way and has consistently trained pole and aerials since then. In that time she has been part of 2 guest performances at major pole competitions & as a pole dancer for a band at a music festival. As part of a duo she placed in the QLD Miss Lyra heats in 2018 & competed in Miss Lyra Australia. She began to explore the world of heels in 2020 & has concentrated training heels technique ever since. Her favourite thing about instructing is sharing her knowledge of body mechanics to help students move towards their goals.

MISS TEE (AKA KITTY KAT)

MISS TALIA

Talia started poling in 2018 to build core strength after pregnancy, and reclaim her power as a goddess after a messy break-up. Poling quickly became a passion, obsession and life purpose.

The pole community had brought so much joy and happiness to Talia, she is honoured to be able to help others on their unique journeys, achieve their goals, and become the best versions of themselves. A woman supporting and empowering other women is her mission.
