The Whole 8 Inches is joined by those who were there when the scriptures were written. Three iconic legends who have carved out Australian pole dancing history on stage and behind the scenes share their memories of Miss Pole Dance Australia in the lead up to the event's 21st birthday.

Chilli Rox, Maxi Shield and Ness all started pole dancing over 20 years ago and spill the tea on how our community and this event have evolved.

Miss Pole Dance Australia will be held at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on November 1st, 2025: https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=MISSPOLE25
