Celebrating 10 Years of Poledancerka

The past year marked a huge milestone: Poledancerka celebrated its 10th anniversary.
Ten years of creativity, growth, challenges, victories, and, above all, community. What started as a simple idea and a pair of handmade knee pads has grown into a brand recognized worldwide for quality, comfort, and bold design.

This anniversary wasn’t just about looking back—it was about honoring everyone who made this journey possible: dancers, instructors, studios, collaborators, and loyal customers who believed in Poledancerka from the beginning (and those who joined along the way).

A Small Gift to Start the New Year 🎁

To celebrate both the New Year and our 10-year anniversary, we’re starting 2026 with a little thank-you gift.

✨ Throughout January, every order will include a FREE Poledancerka cap ✨

It’s our way of saying thank you for your support and for being part of the Poledancerka community. A simple, timeless piece you can wear to training, after class, or as part of your everyday look.

Looking Ahead

2026 is already shaping up to be an exciting year. New ideas, new designs, and new projects are on the way—and we can’t wait to share them with you. What will always stay the same is our commitment to creating pieces that support your movement, confidence, and individuality.

From all of us at Poledancerka,
we wish you a happy, strong, and inspiring New Year 2026.
Thank you for dancing, growing, and dreaming with us.

With love,
The Poledancerka Team 💛

But the story of Poledancerka began long before the name ever existed.

Where It All Truly Began

Years earlier, when I joined a Sensual Pole Dance class at T Spot Studio in Ljubljana, I faced a challenge. An old knee injury (a story involving a bachelorette party gone wrong—but that’s for another time!) made floorwork extremely painful.

Traditional volleyball knee pads weren’t an option. They were bulky, uncomfortable, and definitely not pretty.

Luckily, sewing had always been my hobby. One day, I sat down and made myself a pair of knee pads I actually liked—comfortable, functional, and beautiful.

At the time, knee pads weren’t popular at all. The common belief was that “your knees should get used to it.” For years, I was the only person in the studio wearing them. But I didn’t care—I needed them, and they worked.

From Three Pairs to the First Big Order

In early 2015, one of the instructors asked if I could make knee pads for three of her students. So I did. All three pairs were sewn by hand. I’m not a professional seamstress (I actually have a degree in tourism and marketing!), and each pair took about three hours—but I made them, sold them, and unknowingly created my very first mini-batch.

Later that same year, I visited Mademoiselle Studio in Ljubljana to try a more sport-style pole class. Before I even mentioned my knee pads, the studio owner noticed them and said:

“We’d like to order 20 pairs with grip. Can you do that?”

Without hesitation, I replied:
“Yes. I’ll find production.”

And I did.

By the end of that year, I ordered my first 100 professionally made pairs. My dream business was slowly becoming real.

But the universe had bigger plans.

The Post That Changed Everything

I sent one pair of knee pads to Maddie Sparkle, simply asking for her opinion. Instead of just giving feedback, she immediately posted a video wearing them.

Orders started coming in—fast.

At the beginning of the following year, I received my first wholesale order from Hong Kong. That was the moment I realized this was no longer a small hobby. This was becoming something real.

Ten Years Later…

And just like that, here we are—celebrating 10 years of Poledancerka.

Over the years, the brand grew far beyond knee pads. I expanded into pole wear, introduced new collections, experimented with materials, and developed unique designs. Today, Poledancerka is recognized worldwide for its high quality, originality, and style.

It is also no longer a one-woman show.

Behind Poledancerka is an incredible group of people who have worked with me throughout this journey—production teams, designers, social media managers, accountants, administrators, photographers, and many other helping hands. Their dedication, creativity, and support are a huge part of what Poledancerka is today, and I am deeply grateful to every one of them.

But Above All—My Instructors

What I cherish most from these ten years are the instructors I’ve worked with along the way. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to stay connected to the sport that started it all.

That’s why I wanted them to be part of the anniversary photoshoot. It felt right to celebrate with the people who helped shape Poledancerka from the very beginning. What makes me happiest is that we’ve all stayed in touch throughout the years.

Thank you for being part of this story.

If you have any questions, want to know more about the early days, or are curious about the behind-the-scenes of Poledancerka, feel free to reach out.

The workshops were incredible, the energy unforgettable, and the atmosphere exactly what Croatia Pole Camp has always been known for—warm, supportive, and full of passion for pole. But what made this final edition even more personal for me was the presentation I gave about friendships in the pole community.

One of those friendships, the one that inspired my talk, began at the second Croatia Pole Camp. That’s where I met Nikolina. From the moment I saw her, I had this strange sense that I had met her before—you know that feeling, right? Of course, we had never actually met, but something clicked instantly.

Since then, we’ve become great friends. Our first trip together was to the USA for Pole Expo in Las Vegas—an adventure that still makes us laugh. On the way back, we missed our plane… and didn’t even realize it until later because—plot twist—it was scheduled one day earlier. Instead of arguing or stressing, we just bought a new ticket and moved on. No drama, no blame—just calm teamwork. And that’s when you know you’ve met your kind of person.

From that moment on, we created a tradition: every year, we take one trip together. Not always pole-related, but always filled with good energy, support, and fun. Over time, we’ve become such close friends that people constantly ask if we’re sisters. So we started calling each other “sister”—a title neither of us has in real life but both of us cherish deeply.

And the beautiful part? This isn’t a rare story in the pole community. I see friendships like ours forming everywhere—women supporting women, lifting each other up (sometimes literally!), creating bonds that last far beyond the studio.

In the end, this is the true wealth that pole dancing gives us. Yes, it’s strength. Yes, it’s confidence. Yes, it’s a form of art and athleticism. But the friendships—the deep, inspiring, and sometimes unexpected connections—are the treasure we take with us long after the music stops.

Here’s to Croatia Pole Camp, to a decade of memories, and to the friendships that will last a lifetime. 💛✨

From sunny pole sessions to outdoor fitness adventures, our team and community kept the energy flowing all season long. Here’s a look at how we made the most of these vibrant months.

1. Outdoor Pole Fun

There’s something magical about dancing under the open sky. This summer, many of our Poledancerkas took their poles outside – whether it was in their garden, on a terrace, or at the park. Sunshine, fresh air, and spins? Yes, please!

2. New Products, Fresh Energy

Even in the heat, our creative minds were working hard. We designed and released fresh Poledancerka pieces perfect for summer training – breathable, lightweight, and beautiful. Your feedback made us smile all season long.

3. Events & Gatherings

While we couldn’t attend every event in person, we still showed up in spirit and with sponzorhips. We supported pole festivals, shared inspiration online, and cheered for our pole family from afar. Can’t wait for Croatia Pole Camp!

4. Active Every Day

Whether it was swimming, early morning stretching, aerial tricks, or strength training, we stayed moving. Our summer motto? A little movement every day keeps the joy alive.

5. Looking Ahead

As the days slowly get cooler, we’re already planning exciting autumn releases and new ways to connect with you. Summer may be ending, but the passion never does.

💛 Thank you for sharing your summer with Poledancerka – in every spin, every sweat drop, and every smile. Here’s to more movement, more connection, and more joy all year round.

But here’s the good news: spring is finally on its way!

Why Winter is Harsh on Your Skin

During colder months, humidity levels drop, stripping moisture from the skin. Even those who don’t usually experience dryness find themselves reaching for extra lotion. And while hydrating is essential, too much moisturizer on training days can make gripping the pole difficult. It’s a constant balancing act!

Spring Brings Hydration Back

As temperatures rise, so does humidity, which means your skin naturally starts to retain more moisture. That annoying tightness begins to fade, and your body’s natural oils return to a more balanced state. This means:
✔️ Less flaking and irritation
✔️ Better grip without over-moisturizing
✔️ A healthy, natural glow

Poledancerka’s Solution for Dry Skin: Unique Grippy Leggings

We know that dry skin can make pole training difficult, no matter the season. That’s why we created our Unique Grippy Leggings—designed especially for polers who need extra grip but struggle with dry skin. These leggings offer the perfect balance between flexibility and grip, so you can train confidently without relying on sticky products or over-moisturizing.

Tips for Transitioning Your Skin to Spring

💦 Exfoliate Gently – Say goodbye to winter flakes by using a mild scrub or dry brushing once or twice a week. This helps skin absorb moisture better.
💧 Switch to Lighter Hydration – Thicker winter creams may feel too heavy as the air gets more humid. Opt for a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer that won’t interfere with your grip.
🥤 Stay Hydrated – Your skin needs hydration from the inside, too! Drink plenty of water and eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, oranges, and berries.

As spring blooms around us, our skin comes back to life, making training feel smoother and more comfortable. And with Poledancerka’s Unique Grippy Leggings, even those with dry skin can enjoy a secure, confident grip all year round!

A Decade of Empowerment and Style

Over the last 10 years, Poledancerka has been part of the Croatia Pole Camp’s evolution, supporting dancers from around the world with gear that combines functionality, comfort, and bold design. Each year, the camp in beautiful Poreč provides the perfect setting for dancers to enhance their skills, bond with a global community, and showcase their unique styles. And we’re honored to have been part of that journey from the beginning.

This Year’s Showcase in Poreč

Though we couldn’t be there in person this time, we made sure that our newest products took center stage at the camp. Dancers were able to see firsthand what’s new in our collection—designed specifically for pole athletes who seek to combine performance and fashion. From our sleek bodysuits to the supportive activewear that Poledancerka is known for, this year’s line-up was all about empowering movement and self-expression.

Participants were excited to discover our latest creations, and we loved being part of the camp’s vibrant atmosphere through our product exposure. As always, it’s our goal to provide pole dancers with high-quality gear that not only supports them during intense routines but also helps them look and feel their best.

Looking Ahead to Another Year Together

Although we missed the chance to connect with dancers personally this year, we’re already looking forward to next year’s Croatia Pole Camp. We’re committed to continuing our 10-year legacy of partnership, celebrating the art of pole dance, and providing dancers with the gear they need to express themselves, both on and off the pole.

Thank you to the Croatia Pole Camp for another incredible year. We’ll see you next time—with new designs, more innovation, and even greater energy!
