Why I love teaching
I’ve always wondered why instructing pole dance gave me such a good feeling and I think I’ve figured out why. Not only is it super fun to help my students reach their goals, but I think it runs deeper then just the physical aspect of dance. I am giving my students confidence with every class. I feel like that is the whole purpose of pole dancing; confidence.
I was not always a confident woman, I seeked validation from others and lived a unfulfilling life. As I grew with my pole journey, I began to learn what my body could do, amaze myself and grow more confident. Thus, I started to let go of my insecurities and ended up living my life exactly how I wanted. I was never confident with my body before pole dancing because I was too caught up with society’s beauty standards and was bullied pretty hard during my school years. So, the fact that I was falling in love with what my body could do, instead of the surface, gave me a more positive view of my body. Now, nobody can make me feel bad for my body, I am in love with myself inside-out and I can thank pole dancing for this boost of confidence. I know who I am internally (fallen in love with me) and I’ve transferred the love externally.
Above everything else, this is what I want to provide to my students. I want to help you grow confident both inside the studio and out in your regular life. Let go of your insecurities, grab life by the balls and release your inner badass. Pole dancing is for EVERY BODY, let me show you!
Love,
Laura
