Mischka Workshops
About
Who is Mischka?Melbourne born and based, Mischka found her love for pole dancing when she began classes in 2011 at Pole Divas, one of the most reputable studios in Victoria (Australia). She quickly became addicted to the fitness benefits and freedom of expression that pole dancing can offer, and began teaching 2012.
Obtaining her masters degree in Exercise Rehabilitation, Mischka worked as an exercise physiologist for 4 years while also teaching at Pole Divas before deciding to teach full time in 2018. While she does not work in rehab anymore, she has a keen interest in her students movement patterns, rehab from injury, and prehab specific to pole dancing, making her an invaluable source of body related information.
After competing in amateur and semi pro competitions, Mischka decided to turn her focus to competing professionally in 2016, with her proudest achievements being a 3 x winner of Miss Pole Dance Australia, Exotic Generation Flow 2022 winner, Australian Pole Champion 2023, and Pole Icon Winner 2024.
Competing and teaching has given her a chance to experiment with her movement which, although always evolving, has made her most well known for her static rotations and dynamics, and her fluid flow through tricks and choreography.
11:30-12:45PM | Fierce Tricks
WORKSHOP FOCUS: This is a fun and dynamic workshop involving all the WOW hard style tricks that you can incorporate into your next hard style choreo. It will involve both singular tricks and sequences of tricks and dance. You will find yourself doing more low on pole movement, not up pole combos.
LEVEL: Suitable for intermediate and above.
1:00-2:15PM | Heels Flow Choreo
WORKSHOP FOCUS: This class will take you through a technical choreography involving high on platform technique, gliding, leg twizzles, “falling” into flow with control, and connection to musicality. This style is the typical flow style you might see on stage at Exo Gen.
LEVEL: Suitable for high intermediate and above.
2:30-3:45PM | Edgework
WORKSHOP FOCUS: Learn some of Mischka's favourite edge work sequences and flows in this comprehensive workshop that incorporates drills to refine your skills, followed by movement that explores every edge of your platform and stiletto. You can request from Mischka to either learn sequences of movements, or to learn a choreographed piece. Heels are a must for this workshop (sandals recommended for more flexed foot articulation, but boots will also be fine if preferred), and bring your knee pads in case of floor work.
LEVEL: This is an inters and above workshop.
