The First Pole Dancing Instructor In The World
Fawnia was born in 1975, in the small town of Kamloops, BC Canada. In 1983 she made the move by camper trailer to the beautiful city of Victoria, BC. Her interests growing up included running, art (drawing), theater, and dancing.
In Oct, 1994 at the age of 19 Fawnia began her career as an exotic dancer. Seeing the women on stage doing the most amazing moves on the poles inspired her to want to learn. She asked the staff where were the Exotic Dance School was located, to learn pole work. Their reply to her was “There is no school, you just learn while you are on stage.” She couldn’t believe there wasn’t a place to go, and learn how to do pole work, walk, dance, and crawl; do everything that makes someone a great exotic dancer. Just two months after learning her first move, “The Fire Man”, she purchased a brass pole from a metal store, and started teaching. The date was Dec, 1994. While the rest of the world was going about their business, Fawnia opened the world’s first Exotic Dance School and produced the instructional DVD: Pole Work, volume 1. The first of its kind, making her a pioneer of what’s now America’s latest fitness craze, pole dancing for fitness!
Fawnia has appeared on the cover of Las Vegas Life, Muscle Magazine International, Body of Science, Canadian Health & Fitness, Body Talk and in Muscle & Fitness, Oxygen, Flex, American Curves, Planet Muscle, Ironman, Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness, Ms. Fitness and many others including Playboy’s special editions 4 times, and Playboy’s Best of Canadian Girls calendar.
In March, 1996 when Fawnia retired from dancing, she began studying acting for film and television at the Screen Actors Studio with David Simmonds. Her passion for performing soon lead to work on The X-Files, Millennium, and in movies such as Profile For Murder, My Fathers Angel, Nationals Lampoons Strip Poker, and the lead in both Dakota Bound and Cries of Innocence.
In March, 2005 while at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio Fawnia met her husband Damon Dietrich. Living in Maryland, over 3000 miles away, we decided to marry in July and in October, 2005 we relocated to Las Vegas, NV.
At her Pole Fitness Studio locations, she is offering a wide variety of Classes, Las Vegas Getaways and Certifications. Between teaching and running her online business she is often preparing for figure competitions. Her goals are to earn her pro card in figure, and continue teaching women worldwide The Art of Pole Dancing.
