Sky Sirens

anted to create a safe and beautiful environment for people to learn to explore their sensual side, through pole, aerial and burlesque. The studio is a safe space for students of all backgrounds and fitness levels to learn aerial and dance styles, and to be included in a positive community. After five weeks of renovations and set up, Sky Sirens launched with a bang in May 2016, with a decadent Launch Party showcasing performances by local burlesque, circus and pole talent, students from other Sydney-based, supportive studios. There were also showcases by the Sky Sirens original teachers, including Katia, Dahlia, Lola and Billie. Guests were treated to champagne and canapés and this luxurious event set the stage for our passion of creating performance opportunities for our students and community. The very first term at Sky Sirens had 60 students, with only four teachers. Sky Sirens is now open seven days, with more than 400 students attending classes each week, and we are now a team of over 25. Our students are part of an empowering, diverse community that promotes body-positivity and self-acceptance. The studio is always growing and evolving, with the goal of being as inclusive and diverse as possible. Since opening we have launched many initiatives to promote these goals, including using gender-neutral vocabulary in all our classes, and our ‘We Are Sirens’ diversity campaign.

The team at Sky Sirens acknowledges that we meet, work and learn on what is and will always be the land of the Gadigal people. We pay our respects to Elders; past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. S3x Workers, Stripp3rs and Erotic Dancers pioneered and paved the way to make our Art Form available to us in mainstream society. We acknowledge that all our Erotic & Pole classes have their roots in S3x Work and we do everything we can to preserve that culture.
