Angela
I am a 34 year old wife, mother of two, and a registered nurse. I became interested in pole dancing after seeing it on TV so many times. After having my daughter, I was looking for something to get me out of the "mom" mode, and back in touch with my sexy side. I have always been into fitness and love to dance, so I purchased a pole and a few DVDs. I am a self taught pole dancer! In early 2007, I began instructing home pole dancing parties, and in December 2007, I opened the studio. I absolutely love to pole dance, and have become pole addicted! Besides the physical benefits, I have become more confident and have gotten my "sexy back"!
My mission is to empower women and encourage healthy relationships. I believe pole dancing 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!
I am proud to be a member of the International Pole Federation, the US Pole Dance Federation, and the Pole Fitness Association. Our goals are to make pole dancing an acceptable form of fitness and dance and to show the beauty, art, and strength involved with pole dancing.
I am certified through Pole Addiction Studio, have take the ACE approved Diva Fit Instructor course for pole dancing, had on-line training through Vertical Dance with KT Coates (the industry leader in the UK), trained in Las Vegas with the famous Fawnia Dietrich (founder of the original pole dance school), and became Pole Dance Instructor Certified (PDIC) through the Pole Fitness Studio. I am also a Certified ACE Group Fitness Instructor, and have trained with other leaders in the pole fitness industry such as, Alethea Austin (USPDF Miss Sexy, 2009), Jenyne Butterfly (Miss USPDF 2009, 2nd Place World Pole Champ 2009), and Sarah Cretul (USPDF Miss Trixter 2009), among others.

I am a 28-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 began to study the art of belly dancing, but was looking for a style of dance that included more of a 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 enjoy sharing this style of dance with women of all ages, and look forward to having you in class!

I am a 37-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 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!
