“Point your toes!" - Jen's Pole Instructors

Jen had no athletic or dance background, but she loves performing and being on stage. She chanced upon pole dancing and went for her first pole trial over 10 years ago. She had never looked back! 

She started out doing tricks combos on the static pole but discovered the beauty of flow in dance choreographies on spinning and static poles. It was challenging in the beginning, with her instructors screaming at the whole class to point their toes. However, once she opened up her heart to embrace the music, the rest flowed naturally. She has since taken part in several dance recitals and competitions.

Jen finds that pole dancing is different from going to the gym and requires a lot more hard work than one thinks. She perceives it as a fun way to not only boost confidence, build stamina and gain body awareness, but create wonderful friendships with those who share the same passion! Coupled with the opportunity to satisfy the inner shopaholic (because you get to buy pole wears and heels), Jen urges everyone to cast aside their reservations and give pole dancing a shot!

When not upside down on a pole, Jen can be found dabbling in other forms of aerial arts such as hoop and hammock.
