Pole Dance Classes for Trans Women & Trans Femmes

Hey I'm Ella, a trans Filipina performer, researcher and pole dance teacher based in London. I have recently started Pole Dolls London, a nonprofit community that runs donation-based/ pay-what-you-can pole dance classes for trans women and transfeminine people.

Transgender people face significant socio-economic challenges. I started these classes because some of my trans sisters have been reaching out to me about coming to my regular pole dance classes but are unable to afford the fees. Navigating fitness spaces can also be very challenging for many trans women. Not many spaces are as inclusive as Kelechnekoff Studio where I teach. Pole dancing is a beautiful art form and also a great fitness activity and I really wanna get more dolls fit and into it!

Please donate if you can to support this project. All £££ collected goes to expenses like water and snacks for the dolls and commuting funds for the dolls who are financially struggling. I will also be working with and paying some graphic designer and photographer dolls to promote and document this project. Our target amount will help cover our expenses for the next 6 months.
