My mission is to empower women and encourage healthy lifestyles. I believe pole strengthens women both physically and mentally--it is very powerful! The ladies build confidence and get fit while getting in touch with their sensual side in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. I love working with other women, and watching their "inner diva" come out! Women always leave feeling empowered, and I can tell they feel fabulous!

Daina
I am a 30+ year-old full time graphic designer, and I have been studying various types of dance for several years. My training is in ballet and modern dance, and I taught classes at a private studio in New Jersey for several years. I was a member of my high school dance team, and continued to study ballet, jazz and modern throughout my college years. After moving to Ocean City about 5 years ago, I was looking for a new and exciting type of workout. I came across the Pole Power Studio after reading an article about Angela's business in a local paper, and immediately signed up for classes in January of 2008. I absolutely fell in love with pole dancing and the workout it provided, and became certified to teach after attending Angela's instructor course. I hold an ACE Group Fitness Instructor certification and am CPR certified. I enjoy sharing this style of dance with women of all ages, and look forward to having you in class!
Sandra
I am a 35+ year-old wedding planner that grew up playing sports and is dedicated to staying in shape. Since college, my normal fitness routine consisted of daily running, weight training and classes at the gym. Over the years, I have tried every fitness class from Boot Camp to Pilates, but couldn’t find something that held my interest until I started taking pole fitness classes in the beginning of 2009. I must admit I was very nervous when I walked into the Pole Power Studio for my first class. But I felt immediately at ease when I saw the variety of women in class and quickly became hooked when I realized what an amazing workout I received. In March of 2009, I completed the Instructor Course through the Pole Power Studio and jumped at the chance to begin co-teaching a few months later. I am studying to take my ACE Group Fitness Certification, and am CPR certified. I have attended workshops with Alethea Austin, Jenyne Butterfly, and Sarah Cretal. As an instructor, my goal is to provide a fun exhilarating workout that leaves you feeling strong and sexy. I hope to see you soon!
Kathy
I am a 39 year old mother of three with a degree in Radiation Therapy. As well as working full time as a therapist, I have coached Cheerleading for the past 8 years at various levels. As much as I love cheerleading and working with young girls I didn't feel as though I was getting much of a workout doing so. When Angela opened the studio in Salisbury I decided to give it a try. Within the first few weeks of taking class I fell in love with Pole and the workout it provided. I knew then that I wanted to work towardsbecoming an instructor and teach my new found sport to women of all ages and help them find the "sexy" and strength that I have found! After co- teaching with Angela and the other instructors, I took the approved PoleMoves Instructor Certification course. I am now studying for my ACE Group Fitness Certification and I am CPR certified. I look forward to seeing you soon!
