"For year's I had dreamed of taking a pole dance class.  The art, skill, and athleticism of the pole dancer had always intrigued and captivated me. When my husband and I planned an impromptu trip to Las Vegas, I thought, "What better place to realize my dream?"  I went on-line and found Pole Dance classes taught by Fawnia Mondey Dietrich.  Fawnia was very prompt in returning my e-mail with a date and times available for a private pole session during my stay. Well, what can I say?  I was so impressed and enthralled with the class that I ordered a pole for my home from Fawnia the next week.  I, then, contacted her about getting certified in Pole Dace Fitness, so that I could teach it in Wisconsin. Fawnia was incredible.  A truly delightful, bubbly, talented instructor.  A real pro.  She tailored the class to match my fitness level and skills and sent me home with a course outline of what I had learned. I certified for levels 1-4. 
That was 3 years ago and since then I have been back to Vegas to see Fawnia twice to certify for levels 5 and 6 in Pole Dance Fitness.  Each trip has been truly amazing and has enhanced my skills and confidence as an instructor. * Fawnia is simply the best!"

"I met Fawnia through a corporate contact back in 2005 when I was the Regional Director for a pole dancing company based out of Canada.  When that company went out of business, I wanted to continue being in business, but I really didn't know what direction to take.  Fawnia was gracious in spending some time on the phone with me helping in my decision to move forward with becoming a Certified Instructor.  That was the best investment I have made in myself and in my business!  Fawnia is an outstanding, patient and fun instructor who gives 100% to her students.  She is the perfect balance of femininity, grace and strength and I learned quickly that being a serious pole dancer is serious athletic work!  In becoming certified in levels 1-4, she mapped out a class structure to help everyone get started in their teaching careers.  I really could not have done it without her help.  Now I have a growing business where I enable women of all ages and shapes bring out their inner Diva and live out their fantasy of exotic dancing!  Thank you Fawnia!  XOXOXOX"

"Before opening my Salt Lake City Studio, I certified in my Level 1-4 certification with Fawnia.  So very glad I did!  One reason being that put legitimacy to my craft, as well as improved my method of teaching incredibly!  Fawnia is clear, concise, and knows the body.  She was so accurate with positioning, safety, and proper tips for adjusting.  I loved her non judgmental attitude towards pole work, and how she is happy to share her sport with other pole professionals and enthusiasts.  She has been a mentor to me in business, and has certainly been doing it for long enough to know what works and what does not.  She is absolutely the best, Thank You Miss Fawnia, you gave me a leg up in life, and my career!"

"When I was a new instructor I had the opportunity to first meet Fawnia which was an experience that would influence my career as a pole dance instructor. Fawnia is personable and down to earth and instantly makes you feel comfortable working with her. Her instructional methods are thorough and easy to follow.

She shares her techniques and provides a solid base for anyone who is teaching pole dancing to build upon. Whether you are an experienced or a new instructor, her certification program will benefit not only your instruction, but your own dance style as well. She is attentive to the needs of her students and instructors who come to her for dance and instructor training and it doesn't end with certification as she remains dedicated to all of them, keeping in touch and providing ongoing support and feedback on an ongoing basis.

I highly recommend the PDIC program for anyone who is serious about creating a reputable pole dance program."

"Fawnia teaches in an atmosphere that is positive, encouraging, non-competitive and fun. She s a beacon of light in the Pole Fitness Industry for good reason! I am extremely grateful to her for everything she has shared with me since I first became certified by her in Pole Instruction back in 2007.  Her certification program is exceptional!   She makes sure you understand each move and what muscles it is working, how to safely do the move and most importantly how to best TEACH the move! (She includes a complete teaching plan as well.) Fawnia is extremely generous continuing to be available to answer any questions that you might have after you've left her studio. This proves immensely helpful, because it's not until you get your studio up and running that a lot of those questions arise!  

I would recommend her certification program to anybody who is considering teaching, or opening their own studio. It will show your students you truly care about being the best instructor you can be!"

"I was introduced to pole dancing at a friend's birthday and had no idea how fun and empowering it would be.  Once I found out what a great core workout it was I was hooked.  I have always taught gymnastics to young girls with the inspiration of being a positive role model to them and I am happy to say after receiving my certification from Fawnia I feel that I can now use the tools I've been given to help inspire women as well.  I want them to feel sexy and important and motivate them back into getting in shape and taking care of their bodies and souls.

I would not be teaching the classes I do if it were not for Fawnia.  She is very inspiring and focussed on what she is doing and to this day I still start off every beginner class the same way she started off with me...Fawnia moves are written all over my teaching style and I can't wait until I can get back out to visit her studio again."

"When I first got started in pole, I searched for instructional dvds and every one I found had Fawnia in it. The instruction was great and so when I began pursuing teaching, I knew I needed to go to the leader in the industry, the original pole teacher, and to the woman with the most reputable name, Fawnia. The instructor course was a great foundation to expand my skills as a teacher and business owner. Fawnia makes you feel comfortable and is very down to earth. Her knowledge and experience offers so much to those that are new to the industry, and she shared a lot of important business information too. The amount of information and ongoing support that is included in the course is well worth it.  I am proud to be PDIC through such a reputable course and affiliated with Fawnia. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a successful and reputable pole dance instructor."

"I hadn't been doing Pole Fitness for very long when I decided to open my own studio.  I really wanted to learn from someone very experienced in the industry - to have that confidence and assurance that I was teaching the moves properly and in an easy to learn format.  I did alot of research before choosing Pole Fitness Studio and Fawnia.  I am so glad I did!  I recieved what I consider to be the best training possible - in technique and how-to-teach.  Fawnia was very patient, kind, and knowledgable.  She shared many administrative tips and ideas with us too which have been life-savers as I now run my own very sucessful (very busy!) studio.  I highly recommend Fawnia to anyone considering a certification program or just improving their teaching technique and personal skill level.  I'm not sure why anyone would go anywhere else!"

"I took a few pole dancing lessons two years ago and just thought this was the BEST class in the world!! What a way to bring fitness and fun together!!!
I immediately thought to myself-......man!!- I gotta teach this!!.  I started to research online different
instructional DVD's and found a few by Fawnia Mondey.  After purchasing and viewing the videos I discovered that she not only had her own studio in Las Vegas and taught lessons, but also certified instructors.  Having taught aerobics for years I absolutely felt this would be the next hottest fitness craze to follow Zumba!!
I flew out to Fawnia's studio in Vegas in Feb '09 for Certifications in levels 1-4 and again in Nov '09 for levels 5 and 6.  Fawnia's studio has the" Hottest" set up and she is the nicest person to work with. All the moves are broken down and the "how to's" of the different moves and tricks made simple and easy to learn.  All in all, I feel she is a true inspiration to the Pole Fitness industry and to the world for simply having invented the mere thought of this as being a sport!! I Love it!!
To my sista from anotha motha.......You are the BEST!!.......keep on spinning!! :-) "

"I am certified in Levels 1-4 through Fawnia's teacher training program in pole fitness.  It is essential for anyone that is opening a pole fitness facility/studio or teaching pole fitness classes to be trained under Fawnia's teacher training program.  I was able to attend her training/certification program and walked out with a set of plans that allowed me to start teaching classes immediately.  With the training and the teacher manual I was set and ready to open my studio immediately following the teacher training program.  The routines for each Level are well planned with the appropriate pole tricks and floor work for each level.  The teacher training manual that Fawnia wrote is the Pole Fitness Bible that I live by for teaching each level.  The routines are written out step by step, explaining how to teach each pole/floor work move as well as a brief description of what muscles are worked and safety tips.  The routines are broken down day by day as well allowing me to know exactly what to teach each day of class with each level.  I had her instructional DVD's before I attended the training which helped me as well.  I already knew most of the pole tricks and floor work so that when I attended I was able to focus on how she teaches each move and how it is all combined to make a perfect routine that is Level appropriate to each student's ability.  The teacher training takes the worries out of it because it prepares you for what to teach and how to teach it with focus on safety and fitness/muscles worked.

Fawnia's teacher manual and one on one teacher training allowed me to open my pole fitness studio quickly and properly without any guess work.  I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in opening a studio or teaching pole fitness classes. 
It is well worth the investment!"

MANY THANK YOUs!  I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting you, your wonderful instructors, and feel extra appreciation in breaking in your new studio!  I learned so much from you, as I was so excited and inspired by your talent, strength, honesty, openness, and patience!  I gained more confidence just by being in classes and trying.  I will definitely come back and continue practice!  I love that your Instructor Certification is so clearly written and provides information about muscles trained and alternative approaches, additional tips, and important points to think about when teaching.  The in-person training reinforces the certification booklet with additional insights, alternatives, and warnings or beginner tendencies to look for when teaching to limit injury and encourage success.  The certification provides everything a new instructor needs to begin and continue their own pole practice!

"Since meeting Fawnia in 2005, I have thought of her as my mentor. Not having any dance or previously pole experience, I was very green when I first started working with her. Fawnia was able to modify moves, spins and transitions to work within my skill and fitness levels. As I continued my training, Fawnia was able to push me to new heights. Today, as a studio owner with a staff of eight women, I am able to take the knowledge and skills I've mastered and share them with thousands of other women who want to experience all that the pole has to offer.  It is without hesitation that I would recommend the Pole Fitness Studio Certification Program and Fawnia Dietrich."

"I discovered Pole Dancing about 15 years ago through a Canadian Cabaret Dancer I met in Spain. The instructor had those amazing graceful spins and I asked her to teach me. Unfortunately, lots of dancers back then could do great moves but not teach them. A lot of them would say Pole Dance would give you back pain and other health trouble. But none of them would either warm-up or stretch. Fawnia was one of the first who started to think in a sporty way about our art and to try to share it with others. Not only the way of preparing for the pole or to cool down after, but also to be pedagogue, to explain the figures in details and analyze them. That's why I flew all the way from Europe to take her classes.
I've been teaching Pole Dance before but working with Fawnia brought another Level and another deepness into my classes. Fawnia's certification is complete, clear and very professional. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Las Vegas and taking her Advanced Pole Dance Instructors Certification!"
