I danced from the age of 5 through till I was 15. Mainly ballet, tap, modern and some other styles thrown in the mix.
After 6 years, when I was 21 I really missed dancing, which is when I accidently stumbled upon pole dancing and I have loved it ever since.

Previously overweight and very unfit, with no history of exercise and a lifetime of poor eating habits, I hit 40 and decided to make some serious changes to my lifestyle.

I started with gentle walking, then incorporated Strength training at the gym, and 2 years ago I discovered pole fitness and have never looked back!
