About Me

Hi, my name is Suzie Q.

I am the author of the book The Stripper Next Door and I have been teaching the art human movement for over twenty years.

I started my professional career as a member of the Aerobics Oz Style Team and became a teacher for the Les Mills programs Body attack and Body balance. I was also the Pole Program Coordinator at V Club (later rebranded Hard Candy) and co-owned Suzie Q Pole Studio in Sydney and the Gold Coast for 8 years.

  • I teach pole, circus, yoga, aerial yoga, barre and Pilates, and work as a professional aerialist and cruise ship guest entertainer. Because my body is such an important part of my livelihood I am dedicated to continually educating myself about aerial safety and protecting myself as an instructor - physically, mentally and emotionally. 

  • I am an E-RYT 500, hold my Cert III and IV in Fitness as well as my Cert IV in Training and Assessment. 

  • My courses are a unique blend of over twenty years’ experience in the circus, stripping, fitness and pole industries. I don’t just aim to create trick technicians. I seek to educate my clients so that they may go on to inspire others by delivering an outstanding in-class experience. Every time.  

    Join one of my teacher training programs today and turn your passion into your career. 

As a studio owner I understand the importance of a great team who are well-educated, inspired and passionate. I am able to assist studio owners with syllabus creation and updates as well as Instructor Trainings and Bespoke Instructor Upskills which can be tailored to meet the needs of your studio.
