Cynthia Xu

Cynthia is a university trained Dietitian and Exercise Physiologist, and has been in the fitness industry for over eight years. Prior to discovering pole dancing, Cynthia had no background in dance; her main form of exercise was distance running. She decided to try pole dancing in 2011 after seeing a flyer for a local studio in Cairns, QLD. In 2012 she returned to Sydney and began classes at Suzie Q Pole Studio, and since then has attended classes at many different studios with the goal of learning from a variety of instructors.

Cynthia entered her first pole dancing competition in February 2014, Vertical Limits at The Ranch Hotel, and won the Amateur division with her Lara Croft inspired routine. In an effort to ‘keep up with the boys’ she prefers the strength and power moves, and loves the unique challenges offered by working on a static pole.
