Meet the Goddess Team
Zoe Capocchi
OWNER & POLE DANCE INSTRUCTOR
Zoe has been pole dancing for 7 years and teaching for 3. Pole dance started off as a hobby to break up her working week but quickly became much more than that. In 2018, she obtained her certificate in group fitness. The physical and mental strength that Pole Dancing has given Zoe is indescribable, and she loves passing that passion on to her students. So much so, that when Zoe noticed a gap in the market for an inclusive Pole Studio space, she decided to open Goddess Work Pole Studio in November 2020. Goddess Work Pole Studio is a mix and reflection of Zoe's love of luxurious interior design, her savvy business style, and the joy pole dancing brings to so many people.

Catherine Bishop
POLE Dance Instructor
Catherine first began poling in 2014, with a few breaks only due to moves around the state for study and work. She finds pole dance is the perfect way to shake off the stress of the day. Catherine enjoys how pole makes her feel strong and empowered and how she can always be her authentic self within the pole community. She thinks that pole is a wonderful confidence builder and is excited that there are always new things to try and work towards. Catherine loves the supportive environment at Goddess Work Pole Studio and is excited to join the team with an aim to help new students find the same passion that she has for pole dance.
Kate Lee-Archer
Pole Dance Instructor
Kate started pole in early 2017. Kate has always had a love of dance, having done ballet, contemporary jazz and ballroom when she was younger, but she had not done any formal type of dance for many years and decided to try pole for a bit of fun. After one round of beginner classes she was hooked and has only taken breaks over the last five years when forced to by surgery. Kate enjoys the freedom of expression in pole dancing and the diversity of people and styles she has got to experience by being part of this community. Kate gets most excited when she sees students achieve things they never thought were possible. She enjoys supporting students through their own, unique pole journeys and her main aim is to share the positive impact pole and the pole community has had on her life. Most of all though, she just likes pole because it’s fun and she can be completely herself when doing it. Kates is an avid animal lover who enjoys running and loves spending time with her three kids.
