On 'Getting into Pole Dancing'

As I child I always loved to dance, play the fool & generally keep active. As I grew older I  stayed a fool however channeled my energy into teaching & at the age of 18 I passed my aerobics qualification & decided I wanted to motivate & encourage people to get fit & have fun doing it.

 My personal view is, if you don't enjoy doing something, you won't do it. I'm sure thats why I have so many aerobics courses under my belt? The boredom factor kicks in after a while & you have to do something that you feel passionate about. For me that is the pole!

I've always enjoyed Dance & when the opportunity came up to try pole dancing my initial reaction was........

"How hard can it be?"

How naive I was! As an established aerobics instructor I found it invigorating to be stripped of my dignity as an 'instructor' and taken back to basics along with everyone else.

 The course I found worked brilliantly for me and the instructor was friendly and warming. Although I was quite a clumsy beginner she made me feel sexy & powerful. Yes at times there were some blinding bits of 'adaptation' from me but as a group we laughed together. My waistline pinched in after just 6 weeks & the empowering feeling & sense of achievement from just an hour each week was something I definitely wanted more of!!

Now, I'm qualified I want to inject that feeling into others. Giving women a chance to laugh and enjoy being sexy but at the same time growing our confidence by toning up those area's we ALL hate looking at in the mirror.

My only advice that I've learnt from this journey,

You gotta love the pole, be at 'one' with the pole then the pole will love you back...... when you curse & swear at the pole,it will show you no mercy.

(Trust me I got the bruises to prove it!)
