Presenting our Goddess Spotlight for the month, Isabella!

What inspires you?

Seeing my friends/family working towards their goals really inspires me to go after mine. Watching things grow and change. Sometimes I just want to prove something to myself.

What brought you to RGF?

I had recently moved to Chicago, and felt myself getting stuck into a routine of home to work and back. I wanted to try something different. It’s why I moved here after all! I saw some ads on instagram, but what really sold me was that a friend I made had also been taking classes here. I had been curious about pole dancing for a while and I didn’t really know anyone here, so I went for it.

What do you enjoy doing outside of the studio?

I enjoy baking and trying out new recipes (the cleanup after –  not so much, lol). I enjoy spending time with friends and trying new things – exploring new places. I also really enjoy spending time by myself reading a book.

What is your favorite thing about pole/aerial

I never thought of myself as athletic or much inclined to movement in general – always had been very aware of how I moved. My favorite thing is that when I pole, I feel much more confident in my body. I don’t find myself overthinking – just enjoying the movement. The best part is that this confidence extends out of the studio; I find I’m more secure in myself.
