What People Are Saying
Mel
Attendee, Toronto Show
fEMBODY Experiences is more than a creative space or event, it’s a sanctuary for self-expression, healing and visibility. Every event feels intentional, inclusive and powerful, giving voice to talents who deserve to be seen, heard and celebrated in safety. At the heart of it all is Kiana, whose tenacity and vision are the soul of this space. She’s poured so much love and hard work into building something rare. She built a community that uplifts, holds space and gives flowers while people are still here to receive them.

Performer, Toronto Show
I was so impressed how organized, inclusive and fair you were before I even met you Kiana. On meeting you in person I was even more impressed by your professionalism and talent! I know from experience how much hard work goes into producing and performing in your own event. I loved how you represented everyBODY in the performance line up. As a mixed Asian performer, I was so happy to see others of my own ethnicity performing on stage and in the audience. Representation does matter so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Congrats to all the talent and thank you to all the help collecting tips and making sure everything ran smoothy!
Vicky

The Neon Jungle Pole Show and Party was such a good time! It was mind blowing watching so many different performers showcasing their incredible skills, I was in awe!! I loved that there was a body painter there which was included in your ticket and a live DJ to keep the vibes going all night. It was also an amazing opportunity to connect with so many new people within the community which was definitely a highlight. I’m so excited for future shows, parties, and events to have more nights like this!! Congratulations fEMBODY on an amazing show and night!!

I’ve had the pleasure of attending both the private & public launches of the Neon Pole Show and had a blast both times. These are one of the most inclusive and empowering spaces geared towards women and women-identifying people, free of judgment and super inviting. Not only are you mingling with people who share your passion for pole/dance/feminine expression, you get multiple amazing performances, fun raffles, and a safe place to let loose and party. It’s an experience every time and you’re bound to meet the nicest people – highly recommend!

Thank you Kiana for putting together such an awesome show, it was such a vibe!

It was sooo amazing to see performers embrace their femininity on stage. Each performance/performer was amazing. Gave me more confidence and motivation in my own pole journey. Women supporting other women is something that is needed today. I cannot wait for the next event! Glad to be a part of this growing community!

Heels Chorey
Yuhua
Friday, May 22 | 7-8:30PM
Level: High Beginner/Intermediate
Heels choreo workshop focused on power, fluidity, and intentional musicality. Students will learn a piece designed to feel empowering and attainable with variations for each level.
We will emphasize finished lines, textures, and personal interpretation rather than difficulty.
By the end of class, everyone will walk away with a full choreo they can film, repeat, and embody.

Accessorizing Foundations
Minette
Friday, May 22 | 8:30-10PM
Level: High Beginner/Intermediate
Accessorizing foundations is a workshop that will focus on adding stylistic flair to the practical, foundational movements of pole, such as walks, climbs and inverts. Throughout this workshop, we will navigate familiar movements and explore ways of making them new again. Ever wonder how a particular dancer manages to look mesmerizing even when “just walking” or “just inverting”? If you’re looking to catch someone’s eye without pulling out a single trick, then this workshop is for you.
We’ll be diving deep into weight transfers, as well as how to utilize our hair and upper body to create seamless transitions. Ideas for accessorizing will be given, but this workshop will also invite you to slow down and find what works best for your body.
Prerequisites: Able to walk, climb and chopper invert comfortably. Options will be provided.
Sacred Seduction
Sakura
Sunday, May 24 | 11-12:45PM

This is not about tricks. It’s about energy.
We’ll layer musicality, eye focus, and emotional texture so you don’t just perform the choreography — you inhabit it.
Come ready to move with intention. Come ready to be felt.
