When I teach certain moves or combinations in class, I know that some of the moves will send a groan around the room. It’s usually the hard ones, burny ones or all round painful ones. For example the Shoulder Mount or the Allegra aren’t always the group favourites!

Luckily for me, these things are few and far between, and at the end of the day, I am there to spot. So I guess what I’m saying, is to assume that your spotter will be there for you, and to help you remain safe… but please do try to land your moves for yourself.

So I know what you’re thinking; you’ve read many variations of this ‘date a pole dancer’ article one over again over again, right? Well hopefully here’s a different take…

We all like to show off our best sides when it comes to putting ourselves out there. While I never pretend to be perfect as I know I’m not, I like to show good, safe technique when on the pole.

So recently the old yawn worthy debate of stripper vs non-stripper has come up time and time again on my newsfeed. The reason I say ‘yawn worthy’ is not to disrespect anyone’s opinion in said debates, but for me to say my piece and just get over it. I’m so bored of this pointless aggression. […]

I have secretly always loved the sexy side of pole. When I get stressed out or simply don’t know what to do one the pole, I turn the lights down low, wear my little pole pants and body wave away. And you know what? It makes me feel great.

Now when I say ’new’ I mean new to me. Pole Theatre has been around a lot longer than I’ve known about it – and as a franchise is known about all over the World so yes, I do feel a little silly that it hasn’t been a part of my life sooner!

It surprised me recently to read on social media that a lot of other instructors don’t seem to have poles at home – and more interestingly, wouldn’t want one.
