Leah

Leah started learning Ballet and Jazz when she was a child, becoming part of the Jacques Begon Company, in France, at the age of 16.

At 18, she moved to Australia, where she lived for 3 years, and where she discovered Pole Dancing. Bored of the standard classes the gyms in Sydney were offering, she wanted to try something different, and since then, she has not been able to get off that pole!

In 2001, Leah moved to London, where she passed her Personal Training Award. She then came up to Yorkshire to work as a freelance Personal Trainer and class instructor, teaching standard classes in gyms around the Harrogate and Leeds Area.

After 2 years of Personal Training, teaching Urban Funk, and pole dancing solely for her own pleasure, Leah wanted to share her passion for Pole Dancing with her students. That is when Pole Academy UK was born.

Leah is truly passionate about her job, her classes and her students. And being a Personal Trainer within REPs (the Register of Exercise Professionals), she has a great awareness of the human body, and her students individual needs, strengths and weaknesses, and that is what makes all the difference!
