Her teaching style is inclusive, thorough and fun-loving. Issy’s students value her detailed instruction, the importance she places on safety, her linear approach to learning and continued professional development. Issy came to pole with no previous dance background and little upper body strength, or flexibility. Therefore, she understands the challenge presented by learning this new skill and approaches her students’ pole journey with the greatest care.

Issy started pole in 2012, quickly falling in love with the challenge of learning a new skill. She gained her first instructor qualification in May 2015 and has taught continuously since; including group classes, workshops and private lessons.

The fitness and tricks aspects of pole are still a major interest for Issy, however her focus has now shifted somewhat to dance and flow. She personally finds the dance aspect of pole to be incredibly healing and fulfilling. Issy has competed at local and national level and performs regularly in the UK.

Issy is known for her smooth and controlled style, choreography and interesting pole tricks and combinations.

A good instructor should be passionate about pole, as well as sharing knowledge and love for the art. My obsession for pole and desire for everyone to experience this amazing artform and community is what inspired me to become an instructor. Starting pole changed me as a person for the better, the confidence and self worth I have reached through it is something everyone should experience.

Sexy sassy flow with some edgy moments, and always in my 8″ heels. I’m a real music fan and adore putting together full choreo or even shorter combos that go perfectly with the music. Musicality is one of my goals I am really working on.

Kara was a.k.a. Cherry was chosen as an instructor due to her thorough understanding of heels technique, safety, choreography abilities, and understanding of anatomy. Kara appreciates the need for progressive teaching methods, inclusive teaching for neuro-diversity and disability, as well as artistry and innovation. She is very supportive of students emerging into their pole journey and finding their own confidence and style.

We believe that Kara will inspire her students through her clear instruction and dynamic style, artistic integrity, not to mention her killer looks.

Kara has been a pole dancer for just under 9 years and cannot wait to progress into the next phase of her career.
