Currently, the company is producing: UNVEILED [a cabaret]©, in partnership with the film-maker, Nichole Ruiz, which will be premiering at ART BASEL 2009. "For me,learning the pole, as well as the strength and technique that allows my body to manipulate such a prop, has expanded my abilities as a professional dancer, choreographer, and entertainer. Every woman should experience the liberation in exploring their individual sensuality, as well as breaking through their own pre-conceived limitations and boundaries as a strong, confident, sexy, and powerful woman in this modern day and age. This is definitely the key in breaking down that thresh-hold!"

DEE


Why Pole Dancing?? Ever since I was nine years old I have loved the art of dancing. I had done all types of dancing from Belly dancing, Folklore, Salsa, Jazz and now Pole dancing. I noticed how Pole dancing had a little bit of all types of dances. I immediately fell in love with Pole dancing. I feel more sexy and comfortable with my self. Not only am I doing what I love to do I'm also getting a great workout. Everyone has complimented me on how toned and slim I have gotten. I'm getting better result dancing than working out at the gym. Dee trained extensively at Miami City Ballet for years and brings with her a talent for fitness, dance and compassion together.

SUSAN BIO
Owner and founder Susan Hilferty began her dance studies at age seven with the School of American Ballet (SAB). During her 10 years at SAB, she was chosen to perform with The New York City Ballet at the State Theatre in Lincoln Center. At age 14, she applied and was selected to be a dance major at the renowned LaGuardia School for the performing Arts (The basis for the movie and television series Fame.) Upon graduating LaGuardia, the University of Miami granted Susan a dance scholarship. At Miami, she co-captained the Miami Hurricane dance/cheerleading team and was bestowed All American honors amongst the few chosen. After graduating, she danced four seasons with the NBA Miami Heat and choreographer Nancy Mulligan appointed her Co-Captain. Aside from a now burgeoning Pharmaceutical career at Johnson & Johnson, Susan broadened her dance repertoire at Zanadu; a Miami based Dance Company specializing in Broadway dance shows. While a Xanadu showgirl, Susan performed several times at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In addition to her practical dance experience, she is a certified New York City Ballet Workout instructor. Shortly after discovering pole dancing for fitness, she embarked to learn this exciting new sensation. She journeyed west to Hollywood to study and took certified instructor studies at the school at the forefront of this new dance movement in the United States (as featured on the Oprah show). While practicing this movement, she was spotted by a former teacher, a disciple of this school. The former teacher made Susan an instructor at one of the first pole dance schools in the US. Susan also studied with one the leaders in pole dance fitness schools in Canada and the prior famous showgirl and pole dancing world champion and fitness winner Fawnia. Susan also trained with the owner and founder of New York Pole Dancing, Wendy Traskos as well as Sharon Polsky of Pole Position Fitness in California. In 2006, Susan founded Pole Fitness Studio to expand this new art form. Her vision is to blend what she has learned in all her forms of dance into a fun, vigorous and healthy work out especially for women. Moreover, Susan intends to abolish any stigma associated with pole dancing. It will stand on its own as an exercise and art form just as much as yoga, pilates, ballet, jazz and modern dance.
