Different day job: Paralegal
What do you love most about dancing: How can I choose one thing? All of it – it’s so much fun, especially when a new move that you’ve really struggled with falls into place.
Why did you started teaching dance: I’d had such a good time on all the courses I did with Polestars that I thought it would be loads of fun to teach. Plus I love teaching so it seemed like the perfect plan!
Why you love teaching at Polestars: I love watching people come in looking really nervous on the first day of the course but by the last week, they’re practically fighting to get on the pole or to be the first to try out a new burlesque or can-can move. Plus I love the atmosphere at hen parties and tasters – everyone’s happy!
Fave song to pole dance to: This changes every 10 seconds, but I always fall back on Iris by the GooGoo Dolls
Fave song to burlesque dance to: Etta James’ I Just Want to Make Love To You – unoriginal, but I love it!
Most embarrassing teaching moment: I had done the beginners course about 3 years before and was doing it for the second time, and my sister had decided to do it too. We went to the practice studio and I was showing off and thought I’d teach her how to do the fan move on the pole, but I couldn’t really remember myself … so I totally misjudged and came down on my own foot in my 7” stilettos with my whole body weight plus momentum ... owwwww! Needless to say she wasn’t that impressed by the move, hahahaha!
Most embarrassing pole moment: Kicking myself in the foot in my Polestars audition while showing Abbey how the Carousel move “should be done” … oops.
Most embarrassing burlesque moment: Doing the floor spin in Week 1 of the course and getting my heel caught in my frilly knickers, which ended up ripping them off (by the way, could not do this on purpose if I tried). Lucky I was wearing them over leggings Superman style!!
Personal motto: It’s all happening!
