CHAMPIONSHIPS THAT YOU ATTENDED AND
WON?
I’ve only entered two competitions and both were just small competitions held by studios. No championships yet for me. I came 2nd in my first, comp, and I won my second comp. I’m really scared of competing!

Besides my pole? My iphone. I’m addicted to it unfortunately.

Icarus is my fav move at the moment. Superman and cupid are also ones I use often. I like pretty, feminine spins.

Natalia Maria Wojciechowska: How your pole dance adventure started?
Dirdy Birdy: I was at a strip club and I was
transfixed by a pole dancer doing simple tricks on the pole. I was amazed by a
simple Gemini! Thought she looked beautiful and also strong. I then started
classes shortly after that at Bobbis pole studio. Fell in love with it straight
away.
NMW: How your family/friends reacted to your passion?
DB: My friends weren’t
interested when I asked them to do pole dancing with me, so I went on my own. I
think since then they’re a bit more interested cause they see what a great
workout it is. As for my family, they were ok with it. I made sure to tell my parents its
‘exercise’ haha Now they are totally supportive of me and my passion for pole.
They have seen how happy I am because of it.
NMW: Do you realize that you are
inspiration and source of motivation for many?
DB: Yes, girls tell me often they started pole
because of one of me. Or that they are motivated to practice by watching me. I
love that! How does it feel? It feels bloody
amazing. Very fulfilling and totally flattering!
NMW: What was you best and worst pole
dance experience?
DB: The best memories are when I perform at charities. Doing
something I love for a charitable cause is pretty awesome. And afterwards they
tell me I’ve made them think about pole dancing differently. Fantastic. The worst was a very bad fall where I landed on my face lol Besides falling,
there hasn’t been many bad experiences with pole
NMW: Did you have any unpleasant
situation just because someone "found out" you train pole dance?
DB: No,
I’m lucky that I’m able to be public with my pole dancing. All my friends and
family know about it. I never had to hide it
NMW: Right now there is a strong new
direction in pole dance - pole sport - what do you think about that?
DB: I have no
problem with pole branching off into different styles. Pole ‘sport/fintess’ or
pole ‘dance, there is room for both. Whatever someone else does with pole
doesn’t affect what I love about pole, and won’t stop me from dancing.
NMW: Do you think pole sport has chance
to be olimpic sport?
DB: I think it is possible for pole to become an Olympic
sport. As to wether I’m for or against it, I’m for anything that brings more
awareness to pole J
NMW: What is that you love so much about
pole dance?
DB: Pole has been such a positive influence in my life. Physically,
emotionally, and career wise. My body has been transformed by pole. To dance is
like flying and very freeing. I love that I can lose myself in a song and a
dance. It’s a great outlet for me creatively. And above all, I feel like I’ve
contributed something, that I’ve been a positive influence on someone else’s
life. That’s unbeatable. Another thing is it’s allowed me to share my love of veganism- To inspire, motivate and educate many people
on another issue that’s important to me.
NMW: You are very known and you have
achieved so much - do you still have any pole dance dream?
DB: My dream is to be
able to sit on my own head. Haha. Besides wanted to get more flexible and
stronger, I want to teach in some way. Perhaps
open a studio in the distant future, or DVD’s or perhaps a touring workshop, any
of the above would be great and Is on my to do list.
NMW: What would you say to a person
who wants to start, but is afraid of being criticized and is afraid of bad pole
dance reputation?
DB: I would tell them to try it and if they like it to continue
to pole and keep it a secret if it will affect their career. As for friends and
family, just show them beautiful videos from Kazree, Marlo, Jenyne, Anastasia,
the list goes on. That should keep them happy while you do your thing, sexy or not. We have
a limited time alive so make the most of it.
NMW: What is first thought you often
wake up with?
DB: Hi Billy, Stewie, Minty!
NMW: Do you want anything to change in your life?
DB: I want to do more charity
work. Always thinking but not enough action. Hopefully I get my butt into gear
and do more. And eat less chocolate (vegan chocolate)!
