Exciting news AVA fam !! 💫

Zixy will be subbing classes on Monday August 14th and Monday August 23rd for Steph as she goes off on maternity leave. Zixy will only be here this month and then she is returning to Portugal until she moves here permanently in the fall! Don’t miss this opportunity🔥

Here is a little more about Zixy 💋

Zixy Z is a pole artist with 14 years of experience. Originally from Shenzhen, China, she has taught, competed, and performed across China, the United States, and Europe.

Her signature style blends Old School Pole Flow with dynamic spin-pole tricks, with the art and technique of high-heel movement and floorwork at the heart of her craft. She won the Exotic Elite category at the 2018 North American Pole Dance Championship and was an Old School Pro finalist at Exotic Generation France in 2020, alongside numerous other competition appearances.

Trained in classical ballet, modern, Hiphop and chinese classical dance, with experience in a wide range of stage and acting methods, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to pole. Her classes combine deep technical foundations with musicality and theatrical stagecraft, helping dancers develop movement that feels as good as it looks.

Our sensual queen Christina 🤩💋

Christina’s journey is built on pure grit. She started pole back in 2008 at Aradia Fitness in Kelowna, but a bad car accident forced her through a long, grueling recovery. Returning to the pole wasn’t just a comeback—it saved her life.

She brought that resilience to Ava Fitness in 2016 certified in 2019, and began teaching in 2020 amidst the chaos of COVID. These days, she’s grounding her movement in **sensuality and low flow**, stripping things back to develop her own raw, authentic style.

Ava is her home and her chosen family. She is incredibly grateful to the studio, her fellow instructors, the OG polers she’s learned from along the way, and founder Miss J for creating this unbelievable space. But above all, her students are the heartbeat of her practice. Watching them walk through the door, embrace their vulnerability, and find their own strength is what inspires her to show up and leave it all on the floor every single week💜
