About Us
After being in the Fitness Industry for over a decade, my training partner at the time introduced me to Pole Dancing. We started teaching ourselves. Due to circumstances she could not continue unfortunately. I managed to eventually get into contact with the rest of the Pole Community in South Africa and started attending as many workshops and Pole Camps as I could. I have had the privilege of training with some of the best dancers in the industry, both on the national and international front.
Pole Dancing has been one of the best things I’ve incorporated into my life. To me, Poling (and any of the aerial arts we offer) is very much about women empowerment.
Pole Dancing empowers women to realise their inner and outer strength, empowers them to do more of what fulfills them, to care a little less about what others think, and to help them feel sexy and confident in their own skin.
Interestingly enough this had exactly the same affect on the men that joined our classes.
I have had the pleasure of training women (and one or two men) from all walks of life, all shapes, all sizes and all fitness levels. No matter their reason for trying pole dancing (or any of the aerial arts for that matter) for the first time, their initial reaction to what they can or can not do on the pole etc or the way they initially feel about themselves, each and every one of them progress. Progress in their self- esteem, their can-do attitude as well as in their aerial arts of choice.
I love seeing how each person progresses at their own pace, in their own way and the confidence it builds in each and everyone.
As i am a firm believer in always challenging yourself i recently started trying out new forms of Aerial Arts and have fallen in love with Lyra & Lollipop. We are proud to have added Lyra, Silks and Chair dancing to our schedule.
The great thing about Aerial Arts is that you can do it from a fitness, dance, sensual or all of the above aspect. I have personally always focused on the fitness side of things as that is my background. Recently however i have started working more on the flow and sensual side of Pole. As much as this is out of my comfort zone, I am absolutely loving it.
I love the Aerial Community. It is a place where everyone builds each other up and it is a judgement free zone. In life everyone has strengths and weaknesses. The same is true in Aerial Arts. You build on your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Making one or all of the Aerial Arts yours will allow you to dance your style even while you continue to explore new styles.
You never stop learning and you never stop progressing.
So try out one of our classes. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.
