I started pole dancing 8 years ago. I learned thru YouTube and a home pole. After being diagnosed with HIV, I stopped for a while to get my mental health and life in check. 

Time ended up flying by as I started a family, and my own Online Business. My pole collected dust in those couple of years. I always remained active but knew I was missing something. It was my pole. So I slowly started again. I realized I had many bad habits from self teaching and found The Pole in the Wall and started taking Online Classes. 

I fell in love with the classes and the pole community. They have inspired me to compete and truly have a life doing what I love and being me. I always wanted to teach but never knew where to start. Pole in the wall helped point me in the right direction and continues to help me improve on my craft. 

I figured if I could get my Yoga teacher Certification and a Personal Training Certificate I could go for a Pole Teaching Certification. I signed up for Xpert Online Level 1 and 2 Pole certification. I became so excited I purchased the Level 3-4 class just to keep it and start when I’m ready, rather then spending that money lol. 

I am so excited for this journey to finally start again, it has been a long time coming. After the last year of 2020, it’s time to spend the rest of my life doing what I love rather then wasting time doing something I hate, it’s time to help make the world a better place, and it’s time to help others dance the stress away and feel free and sexy expressing themselves.
