About Symone

Symone has performed on pole and other aerial disciplines in Hong Kong and other countries around the world for more than 20 years.  She is a sought after instructor because she was the first X-Pole certified aerial instructor in Asia back in 2014 and in September 2018 she was promoted to Master Trainer. 

Between 2009-2017 she ran her own studio “Pole Paradise Studio” and now continues to dedicate her time training and teaching new moves on pole, hoop (Lyra), silks (fabrics), cube, static trapeze, chains and burlesque to any and all those willing to try.  Pole Paradise Studio was the first studio in the world to create an aerial combined tournament first starting locally in HK in 2010 then going internationally from 2011 to 2014. Symone has mentored other similar formatted competitions that have opened since, including the US Aerial Championships and Airstars in Taiwan.

Today Symone continues to work as a Master Trainer for Xpert and is passionate about getting the next generation of pole and aerial instructors into the industry and making sure that they teach in a safe and progressive manner. Since working for Xpert she has taught and passed over 1000 students into the industry. As well as being a Master Trainer you can find her also teaching in various studios around the US and is currently based in the bay area! She continues to work closely with internationally renowned pole stars in bringing the newest and latest developments in pole to the mass market.

Symone has taught pole and aerial workshops in the Philippines, Greece, USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Macau, Hong Kong & China.
