Kristy Sellars
Australia's Got Talent 2019 Champion Pole Artist and World-Renowned Choreographer
Kristy Sellars began pole dancing in 2007 and was instantly hooked. With a strong foundation in dance and performing arts, including formal training in Melbourne and further study in Los Angeles at renowned studios such as Millennium and Debbie Reynolds, Kristy’s passion for performance quickly evolved into world-class artistry. Today, she is internationally recognised for her groundbreaking choreography and was the first pole performer in the world to integrate interactive video projection with pole work, a signature style that has redefined the artform globally.
In 2009, Kristy founded PhysiPole Studios, which has since grown into the largest pole studio network of its kind in Australia, with 17 locations across five states.

After welcoming her third child in 2018, Kristy set her ambitious goal: to compete on Australia’s Got Talent. Training with a six-month-old baby, she went on to win the competition in 2019, capturing the nation with her emotional storytelling and technical brilliance. In 2022, she took her work to the global stage once again, finishing as 1st Runner-Up on America’s Got Talent and later performing custom shows for the NFL during Super Bowl events in the United States.
Beyond performance, Kristy is also a successful entrepreneur, expanding her business portfolio with the launch of ecommerce brands The Enviro Co and Polescription.
