Are you new to pole? Are you shy? Would you like to feel more of a connection with your body, while improving your fitness?
OR Are you already taking classes and need some 1×1 attention; Maybe even time to practice what you've learned? Are you a self-taught Poler, and could benefit from an extra set of eyes? A spotter? Would you like to take your skills to the next level?
Maybe you're a trained dancer, that wants to try a new style of movement?
The Private Spot is my home studio.
What began as my childhood playplace- where my imagination blossomed; and what has transformed into my private movement studio as an adult.
Here you can be be 100% comfortable with your body, and individual movements.
I offer private sessions that focus on your personal needs:
No matter your size, weight, or experience with dance/fitness. You will gain something special each visit; while having a fun.
Sessions always include a body conditioning warm-up, as well as cooldown and/or a partially-choreographed freestyle.
Sessions can include or focus on:
• Flexibility
• Dance
• Technique
• Weight loss/toning/fitness
• Strength
• Body/Overall confidence
…or just putting it all together, and making it flow.
* Video recording of your freestyle is permitted.
* Packages available
You know how you try something, and you're like "ok, that was fun"; and you don't think much of it anymore?
That is completely the opposite feeling I have towards pole dancing!
Hello!
When I began pole, I started in my apartment, in a tiny corner in my living room. I was 218lbs, and had no interest in fitness.
Growing up, I was always on the slimmer side. Somewhere between dating my boyfriend, getting married, and side effects of birth control, I managed to move from 130lbs, to 218 lbs.
The weight kind of "snuck up" on me. I didn't realize how much I'd gained, until I saw an old picture and did not recognize myself.
I immediately joined my nearest gym. I went as much as I could; Sometimes two times a day; I discovered was that actually liked working out.
While looking online for home exercises, and female body transformations, I came across YouTube videos of women (with various body types) pole dancing. Some were even doing it in their homes! I had to get a pole! I did some research and ordered a Lil'Mynx Removable Pole; named her "Black Mamba" and began to teach myself how to pole dance.
Before I knew it, I was hooked. I would be bruised, and sore, but I saw something in myself that I had never recognized: I could be sexy, and I was getting stronger. My muscles were becoming visible, and fat was decreasing. I realized that combining gym activity with practicing pole allowed me to quickly drop pounds. Just in time for my wedding...
Now, I am a seasoned Poler. I've taught movement at various studios in NY, and Virtually.
I am certified in Elevated Pole Fitness (2018), and Liquid Motion (2020). I am an anatomy geek, and am working towards earning my certifications in Nutrition, and Flexibility.
I am self titled the original "Pole Tutor".
I have performed in various showcases including Flight Club Sultry Summer (2012), and the Grand Opening of Sweetwater Yoga Studio's- Pole launch (2014).
I have no professional dance experience- Only the love of this life-changing art. I am also a self-taught designer creating polewear, and the creative fuel behind Adorn the Box.
...To sum it all up, I am absolutely in love with pole dancing, and LOVE sharing it. I'm excited for my progress every day, and the growth of my clients. I cant wait to share the Private Spot with you!
...Now, enough about me. What questions can I answer for you?
