Founder and owner of The Pole Project, Kathy Lee, is also a pole athlete and certified pole instructor. She used to work as a corporate lawyer before The Pole Project was born from a desire to teach the passion and spirit of pole dancing. Her love for pole dance has taken her all over the world, where she has trained, taught and performed internationally. Since the studio started in February 2014, The Pole Project tribe has grown into an exceptional collective of strong, fierce and dynamic instructors, consisting of some of the top pole athletes in the country.

Kathy’s vision for the studio, housed in a stunning industrial space, is a magical playground where people from all walks of life can train in pole dance as an outlet for their strength, creativity and agility. There are two studios on the premises, a changing room, shower facilities, a comfortable lounge area and ample secured parking in Buchanan Square.

The studio offers the perfect space for bachelorettes and parties, and our experienced instructors are available for hire as performers.

In addition, Kathy is the brains behind The Pole Factor, a celebrated annual pole dance competition in Cape Town; as well as A Feast of Flight, an annual pole and aerial dance theatre extravaganza and the first of its kind in the country.
