When I first started pole, anxiety was ruling my life. Even the thought of joining a small class felt terrifying. I began with private lessons with Lisa, who patiently encouraged me to try a group class, telling me I’d get along with the lovely people already attending.
There were times I’d drive halfway there and turn back, completely overwhelmed. But eventually, I made it into class — and that’s when everything started to shift.
I found friendship, encouragement, and a true sense of belonging. The energy, support, and community in those classes helped me feel safe and seen. Pole quickly became a space where I could truly switch off and be present — a constant in my life that has supported my mental health in more ways than I can say.
Now, I have the most wonderful friends I met through pole, and every class feels like coming home.
And now… I’m performing on stage at the Keynsham Music Festival!
Come along and watch our performances — each of us has a story to tell. You’ll see strength, vulnerability, and the beauty of showing up as you are.
Pole has taught me that we can achieve so much when we’re supported, encouraged, and part of a community that lifts each other up. I’m so proud of how far I’ve come — and so grateful to be sharing this moment with such an incredible group of people.
