Christina Makris

Many have tried to dissect her style, but our girl does not conform to any labels. One thing is certain though; once she takes the stage, you are in for a heart-stopping show, and this cheeky little thing will bring you back to life.
Certified Low Flow instructor at
West Coast Poldance Studio, an absolute nerd for platform technique and winner of our first ever competition, Scandinavian Scandal 2023"
Jojo Fox
Judge
Jojo Fox bringing a decade of pole power to the judge’s seat, Jojo Fox is here to serve up constructive feedback and all the pole love you need to shine!
From spinning poles to spinning fire, Jojo doesn’t just judge; she performs internationally, slaying in pole, fire, aerial chains, and hoop (yes, she even has her own fire pole).
With years in the game, she knows pole is more than tricks
—it’s art, strength, and self-expression. As the owner of Glow Pole Competition and Free Bird Fitness, she’s all about empowering everybody to feel sexy, confident, and seen.
Expect fairness, honesty, and encouragement - because when one of us rises, we all do.
Mel Lee
Judge
An aerospace engineer who a decade ago realized the sky isn’t the only limit to her aspirations and turned to the upside down world of pole. Since then she has immersed herself in training, perfected her art and left her corporate career in 2022 to dedicate her life to her true calling: pole artistry. Her technical expertise is reflected as a Master Trainer for X-Pole and as an International Pole Sports Federation Judge. Winning titles such as Miss Pole Dance Scotland and performing for the likes of Snoop Dogg, we are very proud to announce her as one of our Scandal judges 2025.
