TCPC did grow into what it became on accident. It happened as a direct result of people choosing to show up, again and again, with their time, energy, ideas, honesty, authenticity, and trust. TCPC didn’t happen because of a few individuals; it happened because a whole network of people invested in it and helped shape it into what it is.
We are immensely grateful for all of the contributions, both visible and the invisible, the big moments and the quiet ones, the people who were there from the beginning and the people who stepped in along the way. There’s no feasible way to fully capture every single contribution over the past two years, but this page is going to do its best! We want to use this page to highlight the reality: that TCPC was always something built by many.
These badass pole dancers were active, present, and instrumental in making TCPC operations happen over the past two years!
Amber joined the TCPC Social & Events Committee in March of 2025, and served as one of our Event Leads for the Revving on Rooftops Videoshoot in June of 2025. Later in the year, Amber continued driving TCPC infrastructure by volunteering as one of the TCPC Monthly Overview Graphic Designers, developing the monthly overview from late 2025 until Spring 2026.
Bridget joined the TCPC Infrastructure Team in Fall 2025 and volunteered as the Monthly Overview Events Collector. Each month, she was responsible for gathering all of the events and activities happening at local Twin Cities pole studios and prepping the documentation that designers would then use to create the monthly graphics.
Franny joined the TCPC Social & Events Committee in March of 2025. Throughout 2025 and 2026, Franny contributed thoughtfully and mindfully in the development of infrastructural decisions, as well as hosted a number of community parties and events centering sustainable clothing swaps and general community building.
Nicktae joined TCPC as our Social Media Coordinator in February of 2025. They were responsible for the monhtly overview from February - September of 2025, and developed additional content such as weekend news updates, highlights, and more. They also served as our photographer at the TCPC Swap&Shop event in May of 2025.
Ophie joined the TCPC Social & Events Committee in March of 2025, and served as one of the leads for multiple TCPC projects such as Revving on Rooftops (Videoshoot), and Clapping Cheeks in the Streets (Calendar), among others.
Stevie joined the TCPC Social & Events Committee in March of 2025, and served as one of the leads for many TCPC projects such as the TCPC Birthday Party, Clapping Cheeks in the Streets (Calendar), among others.
Honorable mention thanks to @Rach! Rach initially applied to be our Social Media Coordinator in Winter 2024. However, they quickly realized the role was beyond their capacity and bandwidth at the time and politely rescinded her acceptance of the role. We appreciated their authenticity and realism when it came to the responsibilities necessary to carry out this role!
Honorable mention thanks to @Audrey! They had initially joined the TCPC Infrastructural Team as the Nonprofit Affairs Coordinator in summer 2025. However, after extensive research and input from additional TCPC Community Members (thanks Kenza!) - we decided not to move forward with nonprofit status proceedings as a collective, and Audrey's role was no longer needed. We appreciated their excitement and eagerness to support our mission and vision! They also hosted a bonfire in the Fall of 2025 holding space to connect and deepen community!
Honorable mention thanks to @Jay! They joined the TCPC Infrastructure Team when Chapter 2 began, where programming opportunities really minimized. We loved their enthusiasm to be a part of our mission and vision and help continue developing TCPC!
We are grateful to all of our photographers, DJs, and other technology support for helping make our events a success! We appreciate you capturing the moments and amplifying the memories to help make our experiences even more magical.
