GIULIA ASIA
My name is Giulia Asia Carnavale, and I was born in Turin in 1998. I began my journey in choreography at the age of 4. Throughout my childhood, I studied classical, neoclassical, and contemporary dance. For a brief period, I also practiced amateur artistic gymnastics.
At 14, I began a professional path at the Institute of Choreographic Art and Performance at Teatro Nuovo in Turin, focusing on classical and neoclassical dance. During my final year of studies, I turned 18, moved away from home, and gradually lost the passion I once had for the discipline. I chose to take a break from dance to reflect and recalibrate.
During that time of transition, I discovered pole dancing through a YouTube video. Curious and inspired, I attended a class at a local school in Turin and was instantly hooked. After a year of training, I became largely self-taught in pole dance—and soon after, in exotic pole dance as well.
I began teaching and eventually completed a teacher training course. I started collaborating with multiple studios across Turin and nearby provinces. Since 2020, I’ve competed in several international exotic pole competitions, consistently placing in the top three.
Today, I am the founder of El Fenice Pole Studio in Collegno, just outside Turin. I teach workshops across Italy and abroad, and I have served as a judge in various exotic pole competitions. I am also an artist and go-go dancer.
Pole and exotic dance became my personal comeback story—it taught me how to love myself and embrace my uniqueness. Now, I hope to share that same passion and strength with the amazing women who follow and support me every day.
Oscar Del Pozo
@odpozo , 25, hails from Spain and has dedicated his life to movement and artistic expression. Though his early years included training in gymnastics and classical dance, it was at 16 that he truly fell in love with ballet, pursuing intensive training in Barcelona’s top classical and contemporary schools. His dedication led him to strive for a place in one of Spain’s leading classical dance conservatories.
At 20, Óscar discovered pole dance—a turning point that fused his classical technique with a newfound passion. Just three months into his pole journey, he encountered exotic pole, which quickly became his artistic and professional focus. Within two years, he transitioned into full-time teaching, working at Feeling Woman, one of Europe’s premier pole studios in Barcelona.
Currently based in Madrid, Óscar continues to expand his influence by teaching in various studios across the city and offering workshops worldwide. His competitive career has been nothing short of extraordinary, earning 20 first-place titles in international exotic pole competitions since his debut in October 2022. His accolades span prestigious events across Europe and beyond, and he has shared his expertise through workshops in Poland, Switzerland, and Hong Kong.
Beyond competition and teaching, Óscar collaborates with major brands and events such as H&M MOVE, D&B Costume Wear, and OFFFest Barcelona, showcasing his talent in fashion and performance.
