The Pole Dance Performer

Arts EN ↓ 17 episodes

You've always had the pull to perform. Not just do a routine — but create something that actually moves people. Every time you sit down to choreograph: you freeze, second-guess, change the song, spiral. Here's what no one told you: the best performances aren't magic. They're engineered. What's standing between you and the routine you're imagining probably isn't what you think. Hosted by Sergia Louise — US Pole Champion and your resident pole nerd. No tricks. No fluff. Just the nerdy stuff that makes choreography feel clear not chaotic. If there's a performance in you — this is where it starts.
