What inspires you?

My Family & Friends…I rise by lifting those around me, I strive for a better purpose & I know that helping others find their light will not diminish mine. Love inspires me. Trust, honesty, enthusiasm, respect, confidence, creativity & learning from others. Being true to myself & making values in my choices which creates a circle of love, promotes authenticity, & fosters courage. I believe happiness is the key to everything, which aspires inspiration. RGF has absorbed me, & has inspired added confidence, courage & strength within my inner being.

What brought you to RGF?

I am thankful to have found RGF. This is my happy place which has helped me continue my journey from when it all began in 2008. Due to an accident, I was unable to pursue this passion & finally when I started searching, I connected with this amazing place. I started with Bollywood dance & continued with Pole, Chair Dance, Heels Flow, Triple S, Aerial Hoop & I hope for more. I was one of the many to experience the launch of the new studio that the owners, Michelle & Laurial have originated. It’s beautiful! A place for wondrous challenges in an empowering, yet playful way.

What do you enjoy doing outside of the studio?

I’m quite a busy girl…I’m there always for my Family…I work full time, take care of my Doberman & my home. I enjoy painting when time allows. I love to dance…and too, some of my inspiring moments include being at the studio.

What is your favorite thing about pole and aerial dance?

It’s how it makes me feel inside & out. Strong, confident & inspired to do it all, like NOW lol. It’s my meditation within my body & mind. I grew up taking dance & always loved it. No matter what the age, I believe these classes, taught by amazing professionals is the best medicine & the best workout for anyone since it fulfills a beautiful body & mind. Once you begin this journey, it’s instilled inside & you want to pursue it all. It’s contagious really. So don’t say you can’t, when honestly, you’d be utterly amazed what your body can do. And through it all you have a professional here showing you the way.
