Are you ready to explore the mesmerizing world of pole dance?
Beginner Pole dance for women of color
Wednesdays 6-7 pm
Endorphinz Fitness Club, Miramar
Step into a sacred space crafted with love and understanding, exclusively for women of color who, like me, recognize the importance of representation and safe havens for our journey of self-discovery. I want to honor the rich tapestry of backgrounds and unique experiences that we, as women of color, bring to this empowering art. This space is for us to reclaim our stories, embrace our cultural heritage, and find our strength through every movement.
Learn the basic techniques of pole dancing, including spins, body rolls, and holds, and then put these together for a small sensual flow choreography. Develop strength, flexibility, and balance while creating a strong connection with the pole.
Unleash your inner maharani, allowing your body to flow and express itself through mesmerizing movements while learning to trust yourself and build your self-confidence.
In every spin and hold, we acknowledge the origins of pole dance, which emerged from the vibrant world of strip clubs, where strippers showcased their strength, agility, and creativity. Paying homage to these creators who pioneered this art form, and turning it into the empowering and expressive practice we embrace today is crucial. Their dedication has transformed pole dance into a celebrated form of self-expression and fitness. By recognizing this history, we honor their contributions by breaking down stigmas, ensuring that pole dance continues to evolve as an inclusive art form.

We spend a few weeks working on one choreography routine so you can bring your flavor of movement by the end of it.

Pole Inferno Competition
2024 Floor & Basework Winner
"Kali is chaos and creation, the destroyer of oppression, the annihilator of patriarchy. Her wild laughter, a defiant proclamation against all who seek to control her.
Join together, at the altar of this fierce Hindu goddess... to help remove the shackles of the male gaze. For Kali is adorned with the skulls of those who dare to silence her, her tongue, a triumphant laugh at the folly of man.
Tonight we remember, the power of this Maharani resides within each and every one of us.”
Rapture Pole Competition
2023 Semi-Pro Winner
"Once upon a time, in the vibrant lands of India, women danced under the golden sun and the moonlit nights, where sensuality was revered as a divine gift, a manifestation of Shakti and Shiva.
But then, foreign powers arrived on the shores, carrying both ambition and oppression; enforcing judgments and decrees that cast shadows over the sacred art of sensuality.
Now, it’s time to reawaken an ancient truth—that the Indian woman was always meant to be an empress of sensuality, a sovereign of pleasure, a great queen, a Maharani.”
My dance journey
I have danced for most of my life. Spending almost 20 years as a Ballroom and Latin dancer and teacher, and 7 years as a Bharatanatyam student (Indian Classical dance). I also dabbled in Salsa and Bollywood but really found myself through Pole dance.
Even though I spent most of my life dancing, my movement was always disconnected due to carrying a lot of pain and trauma in my body.
I danced… but I feared being seen.
I moved… but focussed on how it looked rather than how it felt.
Through Pole dance, I began learning to trust my body, my movement and build physical as well as mental strength. I started focussing on how movement felt in my body rather than how it looked. And I finally learned how to embrace my femininity and learn that it was safe to be a sensual being.
