About AcroPole

People often ask how I started pole. It's quite embarrassing. It was a Living Social deal, one class for $20. I was feeling not-very-sexy. The guy I was seeing was slowly losing interest so I thought this would be a quick way to reel him back in. If not, at least it'd be a good story to tell, right? Little did I realize that pole would quickly replace any man that fell in my path.

I was a nervous wreck for my first pole class. In my excitement, I forgot to invite a friend so I showed up to alone. It worked in my favor though. As all the girl buddies tried not to giggle at each other, I was killing every move thrown my way.

'Sexy walk? I don't know how to sexy walk', I thought.
Two seconds later.
'Holy shit, I'm doing it. Hot damn girl! You look like a sex goddess!' 
I may have screamed in my head/outloud when I saw myself in the mirror. Whatevs.

I love pole. It is my sport the way yoga or hockey is to some people. I would have never thought in a million years that it would lead me down this path. I have never felt so strong, beautiful or confident in my entire life.
