Presenting our Goddess Spotlights for the month, Katie & Emily!
What inspires you?
Katie: My friends, family and clients at work. They inspire me to get out there and experience the world! They remind me that vacations are necessary.
Emily: My sister and husband, they both are an inspiration in my life to keep being true to myself and excel beyond my wildest dreams! They both have played a huge role in my life and continue to be there for me even on days I can’t even be there for myself. There are so many special people I have met throughout my life that have brought me knowledge and inspiration for life, I thank them all. Sometimes when we listen to others it brings you all the creativity, passion and inspiration you need! I am inspired by life.
What brought you to RGF?
Katie: I would see videos online of women showing off their pole dancing skills and I always thought it was so pretty and they were so strong. I searched for the nearest studio to me and found RGF. I was scared to do it alone and no one at the time was able to join me so I just decided to go for it on my own. And I am so glad I did! Then I finally got my sister to join me.
Emily: My sister, after a full year of seeing her go and how much she truly loved and enjoyed it with much encouragement she finally got me to come to a pole class. I have to admit I was a little nervous to start but have always loved to dance, jump, climb and swing!
What do you enjoy doing outside of the studio?
Katie: I am a nail tech and I work the weekends so when I do have free time I am usually on FaceTime with my sister Emily; or we’re usually together hanging out. When we’re not together I’m enjoying a cozy night in watching a movie.
Emily: I love to hang out with family and friends, we get together for dinners and game nights too! I have quite a few plant babies that I’m proud to say I’ve kept alive and thriving for several years now and continue to grow and take over my living room. I’m an esthetician so skin and waxing care is a regular occurrence at work and home, I love what I do for a living! We can talk about skin care tips anytime!
What is your favorite thing about pole/aerial
Katie: My favorite thing about pole dancing is feeling physically strong and confident!
Emily: My favorite thing about pole has been the journey it’s taken me on. My self confidence has skyrocketed, getting to meet amazing women and being able to set a time for myself and to be with my sister makes it all the better! From my first recording of myself in a class to the most recent I’ve learned so many new things and in learning to trust myself and the process of growth.
