Founder · World’s first pole dance instructor
Fawnia Mondey
Teaches Pole classes & instructor certification at Pole Fitness Studio, Las Vegas.
Fawnia Mondey, a Canadian native, stands as the trailblazer in pole dancing instruction, having pioneered the world's inaugural instructional video on pole dancing. Commencing her journey in 1994, Fawnia's impact has been immense — seven instructional DVDs, educating numerous women and men worldwide, and establishing Pole Fitness Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has also served as a judge for elite pole dance competitions on a global scale.
With a teaching tenure spanning over three decades, Fawnia holds certifications in Personal Training and Group Fitness through AFAA, along with iKick, Zumba and PiYo. Her innovation led to the creation of Pole Expo, which graced Las Vegas stages from 2012 to 2019 — by 2015 the foremost gathering of its kind, drawing 5,000 participants from over 50 nations.
Today Pole Fitness Studio encompasses five distinctive fitness studios and a dedicated staff of 30+, hosting 400+ monthly classes and pole dancing parties offered 24/7. In 2018, Fawnia embraced motherhood, welcoming her son Raven into the world.
