I decided to try pole dancing, it was a good combination between acrobatics and dancing and, from the very first time I put my hands on a pole, I knew I had taken on a journey I would never want to abandon. I grew up being scared of most things (I drive like an old lady, so you can imagine) but seeing gymnasts, ballet dancers and circus acrobats always made me feel admiration and envy. I started pole dancing out of curiosity after seeing a performer on TV.
And this is what I want to offer my students: not only a dance class but a place to express yourself, have fun and be more confident! To me, every class gives you the space and time to discover a new aspect of yourself. I love pole dancing its depth, its diversity, its variety and the different styles and techniques from pole sport and fitness to contemporary, sexy, burlesque and exotic dance. I started performing 3 years ago and always try to enrich my dance by experimenting with different styles. I have spent the last 5 years training in studios in France and around the world. I love the way it makes you challenge yourself, the feeling of flying and defying gravity. I immediately fell in love with this demanding sport which combines strength, flexibility and grace. Trained in many studios in France: Paris, La Rochelle and Bordeaux (mostly)Īfter 10 years of modern jazz and contemporary dance, I started pole dancing in 2013. 10 years of modern jazz and contemporary dance (France) Pole Theatre France 2018, semi-pro category Comedy (6 th overall ranking) Pole Dance, Contemporary Pole dance Instructor I felt most at home at Exotica so I went for my first 20 classes package & never looked back! When I first moved to London at the end of 2019 - I did a little tour of classes and trained at different London pole studios. Since then - I’ve had more availability and have been able to perform pole, floorwork dance and twerk in various music video productions, shows and parties (from rap videos to National Student Pride). I started getting a few bookings when I was still working my normal 9-5 to perform pole in music videos. But the more I went to pole class the more I found I’d rather go and freestyle around my pole than revise for my Economics exams.įast forward a few years, I have now graduated with a 1st Class degree, found and lost a ‘normal’ job (due to Covid) and as it stands atm… I guess my LinkedIn title would be a Freelance Pole Dancer/Person! I was always one of those kids that tried to avoid sports back at school. It was something completely different to what I was used to & it came as a surprise to almost everyone when I became invested.
