Natalie

Natalie has always loved dancing. She got into stage school aged eleven and trained in various types: jazz, modern, and tap. However, she refused to try ballet. Through freestyle sessions she discovered hip-hop and instantly fell completely in love with it.

 

Seven years on, and upon turning eighteen, Natalie decided to try something new: Pole Dancing. She was still living at home at the time and so told her parents she was attending 'aerobics'. It only took an hour for her to become completely hooked! It combined her hip-hop passion with the graceful elegance of a ballerina. It wasn't until then she wished she'd not refused ballet!  

 

She then got a pole for her house and had to come clean to her parents about 'aerobics'. Her Mum, at 49, is now a pole dancing fan herself! Two years later and Natalie has never looked back.

 

Natalie is now a fitness instructor. She currently teaches a variety of classes from swimming, aerobics, aqua-aerobics to her other love, Zumba! She also holds her gym instructors qualification and plans to gain her personal trainer certification in the future. She's also certified by the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs). Her greatest ambition now is to share her love of pole dancing and its fitness benefits through her teaching. Being part of Pole Academy UK is a privileged as well as a dream come true!
