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

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. |

SUE SMART
am 24 and love living life expressing myself through dance. Since the age of 12 I have danced lots of styles from contemporary to hip hop but nothing has been more exciting and challenging than learning the pole with Jo at Cardiostriptease. I haven't been pole dancing long but what I've learnt already is to believe in yourself that you can do anything. Training my core strength through pilates and yoga based routines and working on my flexibilty is the best way for me to get the most out of the pole classes. I have met so many incredible women and look forward to meeting so many more! |

What inspires you about pole dancing: It's feminine, flirty and sexy. It leaves me feeling strong with a sense of well being. I love the feeling I get when I can say "yes! I did it", and helping other girls to achieve the same.
