   Sinéad is a Pole Dancer who has been dancing for 10 years, and teaching and performing in Ireland for the last three. 

Teaching pole is the best job she has ever had, and seeing people's confidence grow as they come in and out of the studio is her biggest source of inspiration. She has also competed, being crowned Flexual Queen at hell on heels. 

Get lost in her sensual dancing and flexual moves, as she mesmerises with dramatic hair flicks and tantalising pole tricks. 

Growing up in Venezuela Avatarguille was always so amazed and inspired by the majority of female performers, The Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, Beyoncé.
Hiding in my room since I was 13-14 learned choreographies from all of them, and that's when my love for dancing started . At the age of 20-21 I saw pole and was in awe by how beautiful and difficult this art was, so I thought, Lets try it!

At the age of 22 came to ireland, living in direct provision for over 3 years. As a refugee now at the age of 31 I just wants to express my love for music and dancing through my body and whatever I can find around to play with and have fun with it pole, heels, and more.

Dazzling with her unique mix of humour and glamour, Kat brings high energy and buckets of sparkles to any event. On stage she is either scandalous, quirky, energetic, dazzling, funny, sexy or all of the above... But she is always herself.
