Teaching area: Swansea

I am happy and relaxed, always up for a laugh and love meeting new people. I started pole dancing as it was always something I fancied having a go at and a great way to keep fit. It just looked like so much fun, so when the chance of doing a course in Swansea came up I jumped at the chance. I enjoyed pole dancing so much and knew that there were so many other people out there who would love to have a go in the Swansea area that I decided start teaching, it seemed like a great way of sharing the fun and also furthering my hobby! I have been dancing for nearly a year now. I like to dance to any type of R&B or dance music but mostly depends on my mood. As well as dancing I spend a lot of time running and of course socialising with friends.

I'm easy going, relaxed and fun with a great sense of humour. My sister dragged me into pole dancing, we went along to watch a show in London and thought 'yeah, I can do that', and guess what, now I can, lol. I decided to set up the business along with Lisa a while ago and absolutely love it. I love a challenge and enjoying helping people in the best way I can. There is nothing better than seeing the look of achievement on my girls faces when they manage to get upside down or a great move. I have been pole dancing for over 4 years now and enjoy dancing to every kind of music possible, although my favourite being Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams' & David Banner 'Play'. I love all kinds of sports and enjoy getting dirty & messy doing outdoor activities inc. horse riding, canoeing, etc.

Age: 27
Teaching area:  South Wales & West - hoping to move further a field soon!

I am a very creative person who has 1000 ideas but no money & time to do them in! lol.
I have a 14 month old child at present & pole dancing has helped to get me back into shape. I started to wondering about the art of pole dancing over 5 years ago! I then decided to buy a pole, and dvd's from america then me an my sister started to teach each other.

I had a idea of running my own pole dancing company a long time ago, then I finally took the courage with my sister to set up 'Pole Twisters Ltd' our company is challenging at times, especially as we both had no business background to us, everyday is a learning curve but I thrive off personal achievements. Now we successfully have been running for just under 2 years and have our stage 5 pole dancing course starting soon. I enjoy fashion, socialising & travelling, swimming in warm countries. I love to make my son smile an involve him as much as I can in my life.

I enjoy many different types of dance but this has to be my favourite. I was once quite shy but thanks to dance that is no longer a problem. I'm a friendly person and enjoy hard work.

I've always been quite sporty and am always up for trying new things. So when the opportunity came up to try pole dancing I jumped at it. It's a great way to keep in shape but also fun and really sociable. I've been dancing for a few months now and am really excited about becoming part of the Pole Twisters team.

A bit about me
I am a very lively, out-going, friendly kinda Gal!!!! I love to meet new people and thrive on random-ness & unique-ness. I started Burlesque with the girls and found I had a 'natural' flair for it, i love the girliness, the cheekiness and the fact you don't have to be stick-thin for it!! Burlesque is ideal for size 0-100, it gives you confidence and you don't have to be extremely fit for it, the moves you learn you will find yourself striking poses in the supermarket, busting some moves on the dance floor and definitely in the bedroom!!!

A bit about me
I'm a fun and bubbly person who loves meeting new people. I decided to give pole dancing a whirl to let my hair down and escape the stress of University! After my first lesson with Carla I was hooked. My upper body strength and flexibility has vastly improved since dancing... especially as the more chocolate I eat, the stronger my arms must get!

A bit about me
I'm a super energetic and slightly eccentric girl who loves to be the centre of attention. I've been dancing for about 2 years and was soo excited when I was asked to be part of the Pole Twisters team. All those times of trying to get my housemate upside down on the pole had finally paid off! I've met so many lovely people through pole dancing and would recommend it till I'm blue in the face. When I'm not on my pole, I'll usually be found at a dance music festival or on a horse. Getting my pole was definitely one of the best things I've ever done.
