Sasja Lee, CA
www.youtube.com/user/sasjandkii?feature=mhumI began my pole dancing adventure 1 1/2 years ago with no athletic or dance background, but with much interest and an open mind. Now in love with this beautiful art form, I have the opportunity to showcase all I have learned, pave the way for so many other women who have grown to love and appreciate this sport, and continue in the quest to enlighten the masses about the power and true meaning of pole dance.

Tiffany Hayden, CA

Ambitiously, Tiffany taught herself the art of pole dancing, taking on any new trick she heard of, or could create herself. Tiffany currently is a pole dance instructor and performer in Los Angeles. Tiffany feels the personal serenity brought by the graceful fluidity of the moves, and the positive support she receives from the pole dance community keeps her passionate about the sport.

Chalese Marie Stevens, OR
www.youtube.com/luckygirl1220I couldn't tell you what I love more, dancing or teaching. I cannot express the love I have for pole. I am able get to know such wonderful people, and I see them in a beautiful stage of self-discovery. I think pole dancing is much more than a type of dance, it makes you feel great and confident in your own skin. The body is the most beautiful piece of art, and dancing is the greatest way to appreciate it.
