These are the dancers who inspire us daily.
Strong, fearless, and unapologetically themselves — our ambassadors are more than just faces of the brand.
They’re the heartbeat of SORTE — women who move with purpose, passion, and power. Each one brings her own story, her own rhythm, her own shine — but they all share the same fire: a love for movement, a belief in empowerment, and the desire to lift others as they rise.
They don’t just wear our pieces — they live our values.
They embody what it means to be fearless, free, and unstoppable.

Alexandra Ilchenko
Alexandra discovered pole dance 15 years ago — at first, simply wanting to try something bold and different. What began as a challenge quickly became a journey of self-discovery — a way to connect deeply with her body, strength, and quiet confidence.
She’s been teaching for nearly a decade, inspired by watching her students transform — not only in movement but in how they see themselves.
Her classes blend strength, creativity, and emotional awareness, because for Alexandra, pole dance isn’t just about technique — it’s about reclaiming power, expressing truth, and finding freedom through movement.
Fun fact: She learned the butterfly before mastering the layback — and once broke a toe jumping into a handspring just three months into training (because she knew she could do it).
Cat Zadeh
Cat took her first swing at pole dance in 2007 at a friend's apartment that had a pole in it, and after learning a couple of basic moves, she was absolutely hooked. Cat couldn't believe how fun it was and how strong it made her feel. She found a new "thing" immediately. It was unexpected, random, fun, and turned out to be life changing thanks to the many amazing communities.
Cat is not a conventional dancer, her skills were able to develop in various settings - from watching dancers in the club, practicing in her tiny apartment once she got her own pole.... eventually taking classes and becoming a teacher herself 💖
Cat sees pole dance and fitness as an evolving industry that allows for a lot of growth and opportunity for marginalized people and beyond.
