Diana Nodland, founder

Hi, I'm Diana, founder of Aerial Movements, based in the heart of Norway's capital. Since 2017, I've been running my own pole studio and poleshop, and I currently serve as the president of the Norwegian Pole & Aerial Federation.

My passion for this industry has only grown stronger over the years. Alongside my work, I’ve gained extensive competition experience—both as an athlete and as an organizer. This diverse background, especially my role as a studio owner, has given me a profound understanding of the importance of safe, knowledgeable instruction.

In our industry, there's a significant gap in instructor training. Many certification programs fall short, leaving newly certified instructors without the depth of knowledge needed to safely and effectively teach the foundational aspects of pole fitness. I aim to change this.

Over the past two years, I’ve dedicated myself to researching and developing a comprehensive pole education program that covers the essential foundations—ensuring that every instructor is well-prepared to guide their students with confidence and expertise.

I am driven by an insatiable curiosity to learn and grow. Whether it’s through reading, attending workshops, or delving into the 'why' and 'how' of all aspects of training, I am always striving to deepen my understanding. My mission is to inspire, guide, and help each student become the best version of themselves as a pole dancer.

WHAT DO STUDENTS SAY ABOUT ME?

Paulina Nowicka

"Diana is an amazing instructor. Patient, fun, full of energy. She makes you feel comfortable even and confident even if things aren't really going that great. She's encouraging and excited for you when you're making progress. I love training with Diana and her private classes are especially fun.”

Victoria Thomas

"I have absolutely loved taking courses with Diana! She offers clear, thorough instruction in both pole and flexibility/mobility classes. Her positive energy is motivating, and when you ask a question, she really gives 100% of her attention and is ready with an explanation. You know that she cares, not only about your technique and safety, but also that you learn about your body, muscles, and how to train well yourself! Thank you Diana :)”

Silje J. Kvernes
