Ellouise aka Lou Lou Locket

Ellouise aka Lou Lou Locket (the Pocket Rocket) believes a woman never reveals her age! She teaches pole dancing classes, burlesque lessons, hula hoop classes and can-can parties in Newcastle.
Hometown: Newcastle upon Tyne
Different day job: Performer for Etrois (a local burlesque and cabaret company)
How long have you been dancing: since I was tiny, starting with ballet in primary school - good toes, bad toes!!!
What do you love most about dancing: it's a great way to keep fit, release tension, build confidence and express yourself
Why did you started teaching dance: 5 years ago
Why you love teaching at Polestars: It's a great team to work with and for. You're not just a number and your efforts are appreciated.
Fave song to pole dance to: Beyonce (Any, they are all great tracks)
Fave song to burlesque dance to: Christina Aguilera - Nasty Naughty Boy or something by Peggy Lee - she is amazing anyone who hasn't listened to here - go try it now!
Best dancing experience: Obviously teaching with Polestars has always been good experience, but I get the best experience with my girls at Etrois, as their different dancing backgrounds and skills encourage me to try new things, take on new challenges and learn new things myself.
Best teaching moment: teaching girls to go upside down, it's always so rewarding when they achieve this, as they deam it out of their ability.
Most embarrassing teaching moment: forgetting students names - I'm awful with remembering names, and I called a girl the completely wrong name once - it was awful.
Most embarrassing pole moment: getting my hair stuck on my lip gloss when going upside down
Most embarrassing burlesque moment: when my nipple tassle fell off in the finale - it meant a creative covering moment and a cheeky wink - I think I pulled it off!
Fave food: 9 bars (the original)
Fave films: Usual Suspects, Femme Fatal and Burlesque Undressed (the Immodesty Blaize production)
Celebrity crush: Can I choose women who inspire me?? If I can, I'd choose Dita (obviously!) oh and Angelina Jolie - yes I know they are women, but I think they are amazing and as girls are far better than boys, I'm choosing these two icons as my inspirational female crushes!
Hobbies other than dancing: performing, which isn't always dancing, sometimes it's street performing which is always great fun
Personal motto: you can always improve
