I was given the opportunity to write blog posts in exchange for a scholarship so I could continue attending classes at my favorite place while going through a hard time. I’ll be honest, this seems like a daunting task. Another thing on my list of seemingly never...

Music is such a dynamic aspect of aerial dance (and life) and yet, I do not think we talk about it nearly as much as we could. Then again, what important and good things in life do we talk about adequately? While I am not opposed to most types of music, I’m also...

I want to talk about what Aerial Dance has done to my body alone. I want to talk about the blisters, and the bruises, the muscle cramps, tingly elbows and sore body for days. If you’ve heard the saying “pain is weakness leaving the body” and you’ve taken pole classes,...

Remember to be a role model in everything you do. Act like someone is always watching you. I remember when I first started a pole, the first thing I would do was to try and see is what the other girls in practice who were advanced were doing. I wanted to watch...

After several years of being in sports in grade/high school, I thought I had my athletic abilities figured out. I was strong and agile. Once I left high school and entered college, it was a bit harder to keep up with sports (I wanted to get onto my college’s...

I have always wanted to try a pole class, but was worried about what my family and some of my friends would say. When I first told people I was doing a class they would giggle and ask if I was going to get a pole installed in the bedroom. Also, if you knew me you...
