Katja
Katja (aka Kittykat) is 37 and the head teacher of Polestars. She teaches burlesque lessons and parties and Dirty dancing, Chicago, Grease, Can-can and Cheerleading parties in London.
Why did you start teaching: Quite a few years ago I went to a strip club with my husband, purely because I was very curious! I saw all these girls on the poles and thought they looked amazing and instantly wanted to learn, but not to become a stripper and I really believed there must be other girls out there, who just like me, would want to learn just for their own fun! So that is how Polestars started. And over the years it has grown into the wonderful thing it is today! :-)
The best thing about teaching with Polestars: Seeing how people’s confidence grows and how much fun they are having! There is no better confidence boost than to learn a trick you thought looked impossible or to move your body in a completely different way or to learn a fabulous routine that makes you feel good about yourself. Girls are so supportive and encouraging to each other on these classes. I always come home from my classes with a big smile on my face! :-)
Different day job: I work at a busy cosmetic surgery clinic on Harley Street as a theatre manager. I am very lucky, because I love both of my jobs!
Favourite songs to dance to:"Nasty naughty boy" by Christina Aguilera or "My Angel put the Devil in me" from Dr Who - Hot stuff!
Favorite quote: " I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." Jessica Rabbit
Hobbies other than dancing: Cycling around London, Our allotment (LOVE IT!), baking, learning how to knit (Slowly, VERY slowly...!) and camping in our old VW campervan! :-)
Personal motto: Don't knock it 'till you've tried it!
