I started pole dancing in July 2021 to gain strength and quickly fell in love. In May 2022 I qualified as an XPERT Pole Fitness Level 1 & 2 instructor so I could help others start their pole dance journeys.

I'm a fan of building strength to help you tackle those tricky tricks!

I started pole in June 2019, and aerial hoop quickly followed when I realised how much I love hanging off things! I qualified as an aerial hoop instructor in December 2022, and as a pole instructor in July 2024.

I love watching my students grow in confidence on their pole/aerial journeys, and I’m very passionate about making my classes welcoming and inclusive.
