Teaching History

2019 - 2024: LJMU Pole Dance Club

In this role I provided: group and one-on-one coaching, created personalised training plans, specialised skills workshops for tricks and flexibility, and campaigned to foster a supportive community atmosphere within classes.

Specialism #1: Powerful Static

I have two signature styles that I specialise in 'Powerful Static' (detailed below) and Old School dance. This is not an official description but, I would describe this style as having dynamic powerful movement, static rotations, with a heavy emphasis on arms-only skills.

Specialism #2: Old School

Old school is my absolute favourite dance style! There is a heavy focus on connection with the audience - making your presence on stage known. The slow, fluid, controlled execution of tricks and the emphasis on circular movement (pirouettes, step-arounds, dips..)

Additional Projects

I had the exciting opportunity to star in a Fashion Communication project titled ‘Pole’ by Ellie Drinkwater. As a part of the project, I was interviewed on my stance of the stigma surrounding pole dance. I discussed 'gimmicky' rebranding and hashtag trends which enforce a divide between strippers and hobbyist pole dancers. I’m passionate about de-stigmatising pole and thankful that this project gave me the space to discuss it.

Performance

During my coaching residency at LJMU Pole Dance Club, I performed in and choreographed several student showcases. My most recent performance was in the Halloween-themed student showcase at Cloud Aerial Arts.

If you made it this far, thanks for your consideration! Proofs of qualifications and insurance can be requested via email.
