Pole Divas

Pole Divas is a U.S-based company, owned and managed by a woman, Katherine Price. She is a wife, mother, and a board member to several local women's charities. Katherine was first introduced to pole dancing and striptease as a form of fitness in early 2004 after the birth of her second child. However, she quickly realized the boost to her confidence even outweighed the toning benefits of the workout. She decided to start Pole Divas to share this empowering experience with other women.

The Pole Divas Franchise System is an innovative, personalized home-based business system that capitalizes on the high demand for feeling young and staying fit. Pole Divas classes are offered in several cities and states in the U.S. Each instructor offers her own style and format for lessons.
