Years teaching: 1 years
Since the age of 3, I have been a dancer and I’ve loved every second of it. Growing up I danced all kinds of styles from ballet, to hip hop, acrobatics and more. I also found time between dance classes to be a competitive gymnast. Along the way, I started coaching and teaching dance and gymnastics, and I found I loved that too. Did make for a busy school experience.
When I finished school I moved from the sunny coromandel to Hamilton for university. I started coaching gymnastics and trampolining all the while dreaming of getting back to dance somehow. It was at this point that a few of my coaching friends suggested I try out pole dancing, saying they think I would really enjoy it with my dance background. OH MY WORD they were RIGHT! Took my first class at the studio, fell in love instantly and haven’t looked back since.
I dove headfirst into the pole community because I loved the way it allowed my passion for dance to continue and grow in a new environment as well as incorporate the strength and acrobatics from my gymnastics. I can’t wait to share my passion for pole with anyone and everyone looking for something new and fun to try.
