About PoleSkivvies
I love pole dancing, but it’s the pole dancers that got me hooked.
I live out amidst the cornfields in Vermont, where there are no pole dance classes and no one has yet heard the term “pole fitness.” When I got into pole dancing, I had to go online to find others who shared my enthusiasm for pole.
Luckily, thanks to the amazing group of pole dancers on the forums, as well as on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, I was able to connect with other pole dancers, and it was their support and encouragement that kept me motivated. So, while I adore pole dancing, it’s definitely the pole dancers that got me hooked.
PoleSkivvies is all about the pole dance community.
That strong sense of community is what led me to create PoleSkivvies. More than just workout clothing, PoleSkivvies is a place where pole dancers can come to share their experiences, whether they’re students or teachers, or something inbetween. I wanted to create a place where pole dancers could talk about their journey into pole dancing – how they became part of this amazing group, and where their love of pole is taking them. I wanted them to meet the people supporting their passion – the pole manufacturers, photographers, artists, and others who create the world in which we pole.
To be clear, I am no expert on pole dance.
I’ve been pole dancing only since the beginning of 2008, and just started taking regular classes by the end of it. What I do have, though, is 20 years background in belly dance. I studied with Cassandra Shore in Minneapolis and learned the glorious art of Egyptian, cabaret-style dance. I’ve taught off and on over the years, and performed regularly back in my grad school days.
My favorite thing.
Of all the classes I’ve taught, the part I love best is helping other dancers bring out their best performance. My favorite moment is always at the end, when I see how each dancer’s style has blossomed. That’s why I write so much on performance, and that’s why I wrote the Zombie Quick Fix Workbook.
I add new posts every Monday and Thursday.
Granted, sometimes the post will be uploaded first thing in the morning, sometimes just as the clock strikes midnight, but my goal is to post reliably enough that you know when you can check back for something new. You can also catch up on articles you’ve missed here.
Even better, you can get the new posts sent to your email automatically. Sign up is easy, just use the box at the top right of the site. What’s more, if you sign up where it says “special offers,” you can also receive a newsletter that includes updates on PoleSkivvies and special offers on the shorts and tanks, and all the other good stuff! I promise I won’t inundate you and you can unsubscribe at any time.
There are a few things I’d like you to let me know.
The more you share your thoughts with me, the better I can make this site for all of us. So please let me know what’s on your mind. Some things I want to hear are …
- who you think would be a great interview.
- if you would like to be interviewed.
- what other topics you’d like to read about.
- if you have any questions or thoughts about the products or information you find here.
So, welcome and enjoy!
Drop me a note to say hi, and have fun exploring all the incredible resources you’ll find here on pole dancing.
Happy poling!
