Lenora Lovegood
What makes you unique as an instructor?
After almost a decade of performing and 7 years of teaching/coaching I have learned so many neat tips and trick that make me unique as well. Pole, aerial and any kind of sport or athletics can be scary at times. My ability to coach compassionately and thoughtfully often allows me push students past their comfort zones without pushing them past their boundaries and capabilities. My favorite part is helping and watching students learn how to trust themselves, their bodies, and their own abilities.

Natalya Rose
What makes you unique as an instructor?
I love working with students of all backgrounds to help evolve their style and find their own creative flair. I train consistantly and I am always open for conversation. I respect my students limits and boundaries. I love to evolve my students into parts of pole they never thought possible. My style is edgy, hard hitting exotic. But, I love to play with the soft, sensitive, sensual-side, as well! All bodies are pole bodies!

Rochelle
What makes you unique as an instructor?
I have been pole dancing for over 10 years at 3 different studios, under a variety of teaching styles. I come from a dance background, but not one of physical strength. As a result, I have a wealth of knowledge both on a variety of ways to get you into a trick and on what muscles and exercises we need to train for you to build strength to safely achieve your goals. My ultimate goal is for you to have fun and feel successful!
