Barbie G’s Pole Journey
Originally from the UK, and currently based in Berlin, Germany, my pole journey started as a way of healing from a traumatic life event. For me, dancing had previously meant bouncing around at the Manchester Indie clubs; I thought that athletic training was something that only “the fit people” did; and grace of movement meant forcing myself to occasionally stand up straighter than my typically slouched “please-nobody-notice-me” posture.
I considered myself anything BUT a poledancer. But I went to my first class age 29 for a bit of fun, and there started the greatest adventure of my life!
For me, Poledance is not about performing perfectly executed gymnastic moves to receive top marks from a judging panel, but about having fun, feeling amazing, and maybe even learning that that body is capable of so much more than we think!
Because I began Poledance as an extremely uncoordianted and unathletic individual, as a teacher I have huge empathy with the beginner journey. I can’t even believe the difference in how I feel about myself, both inside and out, since I started 12 years ago! I can do things now that I never in a million years would have thought possible- I can hold my body upside down, perform on stage, and even to feel sexy for the first time is a wonderful new experience (try it- you’ll love it too!).
On the stage you’ll see me slow-motion running as a Baywatch lifeguard, thrusting my way through an 80’s workout, or bouncing around in Bunny ears- but you will always see me having fun and bringing smiles, laughter, and joy to my audience.
Behind the scenes I am a partner to my boyfriend Joe, Mama to our daughter Cindy and Doggo Mama to our little fur-pal Stimpy 💖
Poledance Teaching
Come fly with me! I am passionate about what I do, and about sharing with others what pole did for me. There’s nothing I love more than to see a pole newbie blossom into a pole badass! It took me a long time to figure this crazy shit out, coming as I did from a very unathletic background- therefore – I got you babe!
I know all the tricks you need to get your body to do the wild stuff you never thought possible, and you will be safe, supported, and most importantly will have a TON of fun- guaranteed!
Either in person in central Berlin at Schönheitstanz Studio, or online.

Pole Choreo Workshops
My Choreo workshops are just about my favourite thing that I do. I came up with the idea back in 2018 to create a special choreo to a Halloween song that I could teach in a class to group of students… and wow how far we have come!
Now I do many specials throughout the year including at Christmas, Valentines, Easter etc, that are super popular and super fun!
I was bored of doing choreos taught by Poledancers who had stunning flexibility and strength that I couldn’t match. Dancing their choreos was so hard, and so fast!
After a minute we were all exhuasted and not feeling pretty. I develop choreos for mixed levels that are fun, totally doable, but will also give you a huge sense of achievement.
For me it’s the vibe over the moves! Can’t do a split or free-hold a handstand? No worries, neither can I!
Let’s dance and feel great instead! 😅 Contact me for more info!
