In November 2007 along with partner Olha Venäläinen, a former ballet dancer, Kekkonen introduced pole dancing to Helsinki at their studio "Rock The Pole". According to the University of Tampere article, various dance types, jazz, flamenco and ballet, are taught on the pole with students ranging from 16 to 50. The focus of the training is on athletic and gymnastic aspects of pole dancing, excluding erotic elements. By December classes were full and a series of children's classes were planned for the spring of 2008.
