Pole Beginners | Pole Dance


Dance is her first love and she has dabbled in ballet, hiphop, jazz, contemporary, and ballroom. When she discovered pole, she fell in love with its balance of physical strength and artistry, as well as the supportive and empowering community of Polecats. She believes that dance and pole share a similarity: that anyone can learn if they just take that first brave step of coming to class without worrying about what others will think!

Having been part of competitive dance teams from high school to college to medical school, she is no stranger to choreographing and performing. With this background, she hopes to introduce a new way of moving around the pole that is both fun and a confidence boost for students of all levels.
