1.How did you first get interested in Pol dancing, what made you try it?
I started pole dancing in 2004 because a friend sent around an email for her friend who had started teaching lessons out of a bar. And I was currently doing other dance lessons, so I definitely wanted to try pole dancing.

3.What is it about pole dancing that you enjoy the most?
I love the challenge that pole dancing presents. There is always a new or more difficult pole move or transition that motivates you to train and practice harder to achieve it. So it is never boring!
4. What are your 3 favourite pole moves and why?
I love the Outside Leg Hang, because it’s a great transition move. Ayesha, because it was such a huge accomplishment for me when I was starting out. And splits up the pole, because it impresses everyone.

5.What are the main fitness benefits of pole dancing and how have it improved your fitness, strength or body shape?
Health care professionals always comment on my core, and I attribute that to pole dancing. It was also helped improved my upper body and back strength.

I have seen it evolve into two distinct and different styles, fitness vs. sexy. I think there is a place for both.
