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.
