At the end of every year I write a list of all of the things that I want to achieve by the end of the following year. These can be small things like ‘I want to visit my Nan’ or big things like ‘I want to own my own house’. I find writing lists quite […]
Now I love Christmas… Maybe a little too much! I love the good food, spending time with the family and taking time off from ‘real life.’ Even if you’re not a fan of Christmas hopefully you’ll love a bit of time off from work or even that cosy feeling when you’re inside with a warm hot […]
There are some moves that we will have learnt ages ago that we still remember learning. I remember the Chair, many Seats and the Cross Knee Release as being difficult moves for me. When my students ask how long it took me to get certain moves, I can often tell them – and the answer […]

When ever I watch a pole competition or routine I usually know what most of the moves are. Even if I can’t do them yet, they feel like with a lot of hard work, they will be achievable. That is until someone comes along and holds their leg above their head and drops down into […]
I was trying to be clever and relate ‘Don’t run before you can walk’ to poling, but instead came out with the unfortunately more aggressive sounding ‘Don’t invert before you can spin!’ as a title. The main message that I’m trying to convey, is to take your time and get each move right before trying […]
So you’ve booked your first pole dance class, put your shorts on and had a few spins around the pole. So what next? Well the great news is that you’ve done the hard part. Don’t get me wrong, pole dancing can be hard but being brave enough to walk through the front door in the […]
