Kay Penney Pole Competition experience 2001 - 2012


Kay Penney - One of the first pole dance for fitness instructors in the UK and world, who started practicing pole dance techniques in 2001 soon after the birth of her third child as a new fun way to remain in shape mentally and physically, innovating and pioneering the UK pole industry.  
As a dance, health and beauty  expert and fitness professional, for now over 25 years, from the very early age, Kay Penney has made Pole now her sole dance and fitness passion.  she is co-inventor of the RPole, the first ever free standing, light weight, portable pole designed specifically for the gym environment and pole fitness  programmes and accredited instructor training she developed in 2008, awarding students the highest awards in the industry from foundational courses to Master trainer status.  



Kay has spent the last 10 years continually creating, networking internationally, supporting and promoting all pole athletes across the world working with different cultures and ethics, with her simple mission and message in mind – that to allow all to showcase their art of pole dance and passion on a world stage without the fear of being wrongly judged.  
She created her own pole business in 2003 'Pole Passion Ltd', which is known across the globe and went on to create the largest and most respected pole competition in the UK, Miss Pole Dance UK, following on adding all categories, amateur and semi pro divisions, including the first Male championships, Mr Pole Fitness UK in 2009, culminating in the creation of World Pole Sport & Fitness Championships – World Pole Dance in 2009 in Jamaica.

She continues to have a daily and very active role in her business’ supporting women and men in this chosen genre, and is proud to have her burlesque instructor training certifications accredited in the UK for fitness too.

She is co designer of the portable RPole created with a desire to have a sexy yet functional piece of fitness equipment in the gyms across the world.
