About me

With a lifelong love of dance and movement, I began my pole journey in 2017, seeking a place where I could truly be myself. Like many others, I initially struggled with body image and confidence, but pole fitness not only helped me reach my fitness goals but also allowed me to celebrate my body for its unique abilities. I fell in love with the sport and everything it encompasses.

I competed in my first competition in 2018 and later participated in Miss Pole Dance South Africa in 2022. In 2020, I became a certified pole instructor and later took over the studio in 2021, navigating the difficult challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, the studio has grown into a welcoming and supportive environment for both instructors and students. I use the studio for my own growth daily and cherish the healthy, transformative experiences shared with all who come through our doors, aiming to enhance their personal fitness level and overall well-being.

I firmly believe in the positive impact of this sport – it changes people for the better. My passion for pole dancing, my students, and maintaining a safe space drives me to continue making this sport accessible to everyone. At our studio, we celebrate unique abilities and focus on expressing strength and power. Since 2022, we have hosted a yearly showcase for our students where I also take part, highlighting our collective progress and achievements. I also maintain a passion for competition and plan to continue competing in the future.
