About Us

Pole Dancing

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 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. 


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 for the first time, their initial reaction to what they can or can not do on the pole 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 pole dancing.

I love seeing how each women progresses at her own pace, in her own way and the confidence it builds in each and everyone.


The great thing about Pole Dancing 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 Pole 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 Pole.  You build on your strengths and work on your weaknesses.  Making Pole Dancing 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 Pole Dancing.  You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

With 2 decades experience in the fitness industry I found my ultimate passion in Pole Dancing about 9 years ago.  Combining my love of Pole and my passion for Women's Empowerment I endeavour to create a safe and non-judgemental environment where anyone can feel confident and comfortable.   

I have also trained as a kickboxer under SKA for 8 years, and as a blackbelt sempai, I am able to give personal kickboxing lessons in the SKA syllabus.  I firmly believe that keeping mobile and flexibile gives you longevity and makes every day movement more practical.  So join me in our flexibility classes.
