Pole Theatre USA staff

Our event each year would not be possible without the amazing behind the scenes staff running the show, we all come together in one huge colaborative effort for two nights of magic once a year, but we work towards that magic for months beforehand. Thank you so much to each an every person who chooses to go on this journey to the stage to create an unforgettable experience for our competitors and audience members alike.

Crystal Jones

Crystal is from Columbia, MO and started exploring pole and aerial dance in 2019 when she took her first pole class. She started in pole classes, then discovered lyra, which has led her to exploring so many other aerial apparatuses including her favorite, the aerial cube. She loves performing and competing and as a competitor herself really strives to make sure every performer gets to have their moment on stage. In addition to being the Pole Theatre USA Organiser she is the owner and founder of the Aerial Star Organization, teaches pole and aerial workshops, and works full time as an oncology nurse.

Leon Swords

Leon is a pole and aerial artist from Columbia, MO that found his way into a pole class in 2021 and quickly found a passion for the pole and aerial arts. He's tried many apparatuses in his time, but his one love has come down to being straps/loops, he often can be found doing crazy upper body intensive moves and has been affectionately nicknamed "Only Arms" by his friends for his passion for strength based dynamics. Leon is our backstage manager and will be there to make sure everything runs smoothly while getting you on the stage and through telling your amazing stories.
