Erin doesn’t like to label her pole style but, if she had to, she’d call it sassy — a little too
awkward
to say it's sexy, but her playful/flirty side definitely comes through. She tends to
incorporate
more strength based tricks, but she’s also been working on adding more fluidity to her
movements
as it doesn’t come naturally to her.
Erin believes that exercise should be FUN and she likes to bring that energy to her classes. We
each
have our own unique abilities and strengths and she tries to nourish that in her students. She
hopes
that her students leave class feeling empowered to pursue their goals on and off the pole. She
fell
in love with pole because the only wrong way to pole dance is to do something that leads to
injury.
Otherwise, you can just relax and experiment with different movements until you find your own
flow.
She enjoys the sense of accomplishment that she gets progressing from barely being able to get
into
a new move to mastering it. Her absolute favorite trick is superman, but she is also a huge fan
of
Gemini and Scorpio leg hangs (inside and outside leg hangs), as well as the Peter Pan.
Erin has been a pole student since 2013 and started teaching pole in May of 2017. She is an ACE
certified
group fitness instructor and has specialty certifications in FXP Hula Hoop and POUND, which she
has
been teaching since 2015. Erin started her fitness journey by taking Zumba classes. She had
read
research studies suggesting that physical activity can be therapeutic and wanted something to
help
her deal with some of the emotional baggage that came with her divorce. After about a year of
taking
Zumba, she learned about pole fitness and was instantly attracted to it because it was so
different
from anything else she she would normally do. Shortly thereafter, she saw the Be Fitness
Groupon
in an email and decided to take the plunge. It was one of the best decisions she has ever made
because
she has been hooked ever since. Pole has emboldened her to step outside of her comfort zone so
that
she can continue to evolve and grow as a person. She’s definitely an introvert at heart, but
she’s
now much more comfortable letting other parts of her personality shine through.
Outside of pole, Erin enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends. She’s also a
closet Candy
Crush addict — the Soda Saga version, not the original.
