After a few sessions of beginner pole, things became easier. My nerves weren’t nearly as high as they had been the first day of class. Over the course of the 8 week long beginner level pole class, I had slowly begun to get moves down pat and felt more confident...

In 2020, as I watched the J-Lo/Shakira halftime show, the empowering feminine energy triggered a memory from over a decade prior. I wanted to take pole dancing classes, but at that time I couldn’t find a studio nearby, nor anyone to go with. I let that idea...

Over the course of nearly three years, I realized that everyone’s aerial journey is different. For the first few months, progress felt really slow for me and I felt embarrassed and ashamed about that. Meanwhile, I watched others progress at a much quicker rate than I...

Aerial Dance, specifically pole, has been a huge eye opener for me. It really has built a new part of me, shown me different ways to workout and actually have fun, and taught me new outlooks in everyday life. I get a sort of excitement each time I go to my class and...

It’s summer. Which means attendance at the studio is all over the place. Some weeks you attend three times, the next week not at all because sunburn and pole suck. Then when fall comes all this sporadic attendance results in plateaus of frustration. How to beat that?...

In my blog “be like Mario” I commented how you always had to go back to Level 1 in Mario to eventually save the princess. The game didn’t allow you to start where you left off because it wanted you to hone your muscle memory in the lower levels over and over. All that...

Pole exercise entails some intense training/practice. I have not yet been able to hold myself on the pole for very long if not at all. I am a bigger woman and have been uncomfortable in my own skin for many years now, but pole makes me feel okay to be in those...
