Natalie fell in love with pole fitness after a stagette pole party where she and several friends were instructed in a pole dance lesson. Natalie was enamoured by the strength, beauty and grace that pole dancing presented as it combined her athleticism with a new form of fitness for which she was quickly hooked. In January 2009 Natalie opened Femme Natales Pole Fitness and has been instructing, performing, judging competitions, and choreographing ever since.
Natalie attributes pole dance fitness to transforming her into the stronger more confident woman she is today.
As an instructor Natalie hopes to continue sharing her passion for pole fitness and advocates her students to have fun while building confidence and beauty in themselves as they continue to exceed their expectations.
