So many of us have been sitting in cages for so long. Some of us stay in those cages because we are told it is where we belong, some of us feel safe in them, some of us don’t believe we are capable of surviving outside of the cages and some of us don’t realize they are locked in a damn cage.

One (of the many things) I love about pole is how much it helps so many loves reclaim their own sense of self and shed the thoughts of others. Personally, pole and all things aerial & dance changed my life completely. I remember walking into my first pole class in soccer shorts and a t-shirt. And yep, I low key was eyeballing the peeps in my class and I recall thinking to myself “I could never wear bottoms like that or heels like that.”

OHHHHH honey!! Flash forward 9 years later, I am rocking it out in 10 inch heels and wearing whatever the F*#K I feel like wearing. It’s a powerful feeling to LOVE AND ACCEPT yourself. Dancing is where I feel most free and I get completely lost in the music. I certainly cannot see into the future but I do one thing for Damn certainty. I will never allow myself to be caged….EVER…AGAIN.
