'Plus Size Pole and Aerial (PSPAA) is a group that aims to create spaces and opportunities for plus size people within pole and aerial arts.

 

The spaces are created for people to show up as themselves and be able to explore joyful movement and feel unconditional support.

 

PSPAA was founded in November 2024 by Velvet Summer - a plus size pole dancer herself – as she noticed there was a severe lack of positive representation and intentional inclusion of plus size bodies in these spaces.

​

She started by hosting plus size jams throughout 2025 and hosted the UK’s first Plus Size Pole Showcase in January 2026!

​

Her ask of you all you is to diversify your feeds, and to follow and increase the visibility of plus size folks by sharing their content, especially for folks with intersectional identities such as SWer, BIPOC or disabled plus size folks.

​

Plus size bodies are just as worthy of being celebrated as non-plus size folks, but we need to see action behind that too.'
