Melania Zoda

I’m a pole dance instructor and performer. I also create performance sets that blend pole dance and DJing. In addition, I’m a visual artist, I take commissioned painting projects and sell my work.

I hold a degree in Marketing from Rome, which provided me with a solid foundation in strategic communication, branding, audience development, and business management within the creative industries.

I am a professional dancer, performer, and instructor with over 11 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have developed advanced expertise in pole dance performance, choreography, and teaching methodology. I have trained and mentored students at different levels, focusing on technique, strength, artistic expression, and performance quality.

My performance career is international. I have performed in South Korea, Berlin, London, and Thailand, collaborating with diverse artistic communities and audiences. My work often merges pole dance with live DJ performance, creating multidisciplinary and immersive artistic experiences.

In parallel to my dance career, I am also active in music production and DJing. I am proficient in Ableton Live and produce my own music. I have performed as a DJ in various venues across London and Thailand, integrating sound design and performance art into my practice.

For two years, I worked at Metamorphila Studio in London, where I contributed not only as an artist but also in curatorial and managerial roles. I was involved in curation and co-curation of artistic projects and exhibitions, as well as overseeing the marketing strategy and promotion of the studio’s activities. This role allowed me to combine my artistic background with my academic training in marketing.

During this period, I also created and presented a solo show that integrated painting and pole dance performance, bringing together visual art and movement into a unified conceptual experience.

My practice is multidisciplinary, combining dance, music production, visual art, curation, and marketing strategy. I approach my work with both artistic depth and professional structure, aiming to create immersive and innovative cultural experiences.
