I have been able to do a Wrist Seat for quite a while now. I remember a year or so ago I wanted to try the No Handed Seat (pictured) also known as a Violator, among other names. (I’m not a fan of that name, so I stick to mine!) I remember trying it over […]
Earlier this year while at Pole Expo it was fantastic to get a chance to catch up with Brandon Grimm, the 2015 US National Champion. He is also Pacific Pole Championship Men’s Champion.
I love making up choreography for pole. I usually teach a new routine every week, but recently have started working on group choreography. A few years ago I choreographed ‘Spring Awakening’ at my local theatre with quite a big cast. I have done a few different group pieces since then but this is the first […]
Yesterday morning my partner and I were talking about the psychology around Black Friday. Needless to say, the conversation didn’t get very far before I slightly changed the subject and started talking about all the things I wanted to buy. I always avoid large crowds and had no intention of going out shopping – but why would […]

You may have noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet recently – not many posts or pics until a few days ago. Sorry, I’ve been busy! I’ve been at the UK Pole Dance and Fitness Convention in Blackpool. I’ve not been before and had no idea what to expect when I got there. I was […]
My approach to pole training is probably somewhat different to most people – I say ‘probably’ as I always take a cup of tea (and lots of water) up to the pole room with me. 🙂 I have a few habits that help me get through even the most painful training sessions. Some are probably […]
Earlier this year while at Pole Expo it was fantastic to get a chance to catch up with the brilliant Daniel Rosen from here in the UK.
Last night my partner James and I were talking about pole – what he first thought when he knew I poled, how he feels about me teaching, and how he feels now that he is learning to pole. To give you a brief history, James and I met in a bar where I used to […]
