Teachers
My teachers are fantastic they take away any inhibitions you might have
about the pole and exotic dancing and gradually tease you into the movements,
making you feel great and keen for the next lesson

JOANNE ROPER
'm 36 (but am a teenager at heart). I live with my son George and the pole dancing dog Tubby! Having worked in the fitness industry for the past 16 years I have finally found something that challenges and excites me and that is teaching pole and aerial circus arts. What an exciting and rewarding challenge it is!! You just can't help but become stronger and sexier after each and every session.

Im a bubbly, crazy 23 year old who just loves to dance! I also love my animals which i seem to have a lot of. I specially love my horse Joey and my little mad puppy Alfie! I have been pole dancing for 3 and a half years now and im still learning new moves, it amazes me the amount of things you can actually do on a pole!! I have got very strong over the past few years (all due to pole dancing)! I really think its a fun, yet challenging way to get yourself into shape! I would highly recommend our classes to anyone! I just love teaching and seeing the girls achieve what they thought would never be possible makes me feel very proud!

EMMA MITCHELL
I'm one of life's adventurers, always searching for the next challenge. I currently work in Advertising and as a freelance teacher, writer, and performer. I'm open-minded, kind-hearted, and a generous and true friend. I value loyalty, honesty, and integrity above all else, and keep cynicism at bay by counting some exceptionally glorious souls among my friends. Pole dancing changed my life, and most satisfying is the positive change I see it making in the lives of those I teach. So many women have such a low opinion of themselves, and I am passionate about encouraging them to recognise and value their true worth.

| What inspires you about pole dancing |
The acrobatic, strong and sexy side of it. I’m able to do moves on the pole that I would have never thought would be possible for me to learn. The feeling I get when I’m able to do a new trick on the pole is indescribable. Also, as I started to teach with Jo, its soo much fun when I’m able to teach someone something new and see them overcome the same challenges that I struggled with. |

I'm 29 years old and one of those lucky people whose hobbies are her work. I am a Saxophonist, Artist, Dancer and also work as a Stylist at Gillian Kay of London. I actually came across Pole Dancing by accident, I only went online to buy some gym shorts and ended up with my own Pole, a lifetimes worth of lessons and some wild 6 inch Knee High Boots!!....Now I'm Pole Dancing every day and loving every minute of it. My aim is now to combine my work and play the saxophone whilst up the pole! - Dont try this at home!
