Talanna’s journey into pole dancing began in 2012, drawn in by its unique challenge despite her background primarily in basketball, netball, and tennis. From her first class, she discovered pole’s transformative power as a full-body workout, enhancing her dance skills, coordination, confidence, and self-perception. Progressing through PhysiPole’s levels, Talanna achieved her goal of becoming an Elite student and continued to set new milestones.

Early in her pole career, Talanna found a passion for performance, quickly stepping onto stages across Australia to compete and showcase her skills. Notably, she contributed to winning routines at the Australia and New Zealand-wide Pole Games and performed at prestigious events like Encore! Sydney Pole Show and Pandemonium. As a soloist, Talanna claimed first place at the 2016 Regional Pole Artistry Championships with her Wizard of Oz routine and earned the title of Best Trickster at the Survivor Pole Championships in 2018 for her Mary Poppins performance.

Balancing her passion with her profession, Talanna instructed at PhysiPole’s Ballarat studio while working as a phlebotomist. In 2015, she expanded her impact by opening PhysiPole Studios Geelong, aiming to cultivate the supportive community she cherished. After three successful years, Talanna oversaw the establishment of PhysiPole Studios Grovedale, adding aerial silks and lyra to the offerings.

Returning to the studio after welcoming her daughter in 2020 and twins in 2021, Talanna continues to inspire her students and team. Her mission remains to empower others through pole dance and aerial fitness, fostering strength, confidence, and self-expression in every participant.
