Yvonne Smink (Netherlands)

Yvonne was introduced to pole dance in 2011 and not a single day has gone by without her training (or thinking about training) on the pole! Originating from the wall-climbing scene, she immediately fell in love with the physical challenge pole dance gives her. Her unique style shows influences from Chinese pole and breakdance among others. Every performance is detailed and filled with movement that takes the audiences breath away. Yvonne is a multiple Dutch Pole Champion and was a finalist on the Dutch TV Show ‘Everybody Dance Now’.

Her background shortly: latin American dancing on competition level 13years until 2011, billiard since 1997-2009 on competition level (Czech national champion 2008). Růženka is an old Czech name. You can hear it in Czech Republic only and mostly on grandmothers or dogs….and me! 🙂 She likes her surname Kunstýřová more because it means more what she does – “kunst” – art. 🙂 And this is what she would love to teach you in Bibione this year. Art of Růženka or “Růženka´s kunst” in many styles (choreography, light exotic, my pole technique – her pole way “be strong but stay feminine”, tricks and combos on static/spinning pole, lady latin dance, and more).

Since then, not a day has passed without any training or at least without thinking about the next training. To express oneself in this dance form, thereby being able to totally exploit, is her perfect stimulation to work on herself and the incredible number of combinations. Julia is working as pole instructor for 5 years and runs her own polestudio POLE your BODY in Hamburg since 2014.

Anywhen the dance (ballet, hip Hop and jazz) has intensively devoted to the integral part of her life and since 2011 devoted “herself to the pole”.
