Back in business!!

Hello all, I have just complete my first year at university and wow! what a challenge. I just hope i have passed my exams.

There are no UPPDC lessons til next academic year, which i am sad about as i will miss those girls xx

Its Sam's birthday today and she is holding the West Country Pole jam, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!! Hope you are having a wonderful day and a lovely evening, Hope Sid treats you like the queen you are :-) xx

I am unfortunately crippled with period pain today, i have never suffered it before, but it seems as soon as I've hit 26 yrs the pain has hit too, with great force. Apparently its hereditary, damn it!

So today i resting until tonight when i am meeting my mans grandparents, then supposed to be out with the girls. Painkillers here i come!!

I have no lessons lined up other than the next flexibility master class which will be held on the 7th June at 11am, so make sure you make it :-)

I will also be performing with Rosanna at RTTS from the 23rd May, im so excited!! This will be such an amazing experience, one i will remember for a life time!

I'm off to the lounge now to watch some footy and feel sorry for myself with this pain.

Take care xxx

Hectic!!!!

Hi all,

Im so sorry i have been slack with informing you all of my whera abouts and doings, etc. I have been studying very hard as my first exam is a week today. i am so nervous and worried but i am trying to put in the effort (facebook keeps distracting me!) so i should do fine. Im just about to revise now so i thought i would just give you a quick low down on my events.

I have been teaching tuesdays classes at 1.30pm, these are great and a fab study break. The girls are doing well and improving incredibly. I unfortunately will not be teaching the next two Tuesday because of exams but i will be back after then. I have also been up to my usual tricks with the UPPDC classes on Wednesday, they are going well and have been really good for the girls to get out of their studying time table. A good dance is a great stress reliever!

I am teaching another flexibility class this Saturday at 12.30pm, it will be very similar to the last class, lots of excessive stretching so make sure you book now and come on an empty stomach :-)

I am now off to revise the dreaded chemistry!!

Take care and i hope to see you soon xxxxxx

Hello!
Well it looks like we are all enjoying a fresh sunny spring, im so glad it isn't raining or overly hot like last year. That was all totally crazy!

Im in great spirits, my Saturday flexability work shop went down a treat! So Sam has set up another one for the 26th of April at 12.30pm. If you missed this one make sure you don't miss the next one!! If you went to this one, make sure you come back for more! No doubt you will after all the great feedback i recieved :-)
I had a lovely group of girls on my Tuesday class, very determined and hard working, keep it up ladies :-)

I am teaching my UPPDC group this afternoon, i know they will want a complete beasting after a long break so i will make sure i don't disappoint!! hehe

I went into the dance shop at the bottom of town opposite the market today, i was just browsing about when the male shop attendant started chatting to me about the shoes and stuff i was looking at. When i told him what i did he was so in awe of pole dancing! What a fab reaction! he was enthusiastic about how flexible and strong we are to do what we do and he thought it is an awesome fitness sport. I was so pleased, this gives me more confidence to boost pole dancing in Plymouth, and the UPPDC are starting with the university. We are aiming to promote pole dancing to such a high caliber that anyone who dares to knock us down will crawl away ashamed of their arrogance :-)

Watch this space!!

Well i have to go and do my uni work, exams are in a couple of weeks and i have 2 more things to finish before i can get into the full swing of revision.

Until the next time, take care and keep spinning :-)

Hello again, well after all that chocolate (and chocolate covered crunchy nut cornflakes i keep making) i notice that chocolate isn't great for the figure!

So on Friday when gorgeous Sam suggested all the staff have a pole jam after our meeting, i was very much up for it. It was so much fun as the lovely Jo decided to film us all messing around on the pole, which actually turned out ok. Though ofcourse im never happy with my own performance, especially as i had a mind lapse and didn't know what on earth to do! You can check out the videos on Sam's Blog.

Also on the sunday just gone my boyfriend and i went surfing, though the waves were so big we put our boards back in the car and ended up jumping around like teenagers in the waves. It was so much fun! My abs and bum muscles were in agony, i definitely recommend acting like a kid in big waves, not only do you laugh so much, but you get a really good exercise hitting the areas you really want worked :-)

 Its so great to see the sun coming out more regularly, especially when it gets a little warmer too. I have been going out of the house with out a coat!! First time in a very long time. Im so excited about the summer that i have decided to sell my fiesta which is unfortunately just sitting around watching the world go by, and am investing in a VW camper van! i have looked at one but have been put off the rubbish the seller keeps repeating (hobby? My butt, surely traveling the country buying campers, re-spraying them and selling them is more of a business then a hobby!) I have my eye on one, i will keep you informed with my purchase :-)

This Tuesday i had a great work out with the beautiful Rossanna, we practised our world class tricks which almost broke me. But then i had 2 lessons after which was also fun as it cooled me down but kept me active. It is great to see how well these girls are progressing, it gets better each week :-)

Today i gave my usual UPPDC lesson, but i really beasted the poor girls. Not one left without a bruise, this always makes me smile as i know they worked really hard and push themselves to pain. Very inspirational!

I am next in the studio on Saturday, i will be teaching my flexibility class, i did the session plan today. i'm not going to lie, its a lot of stretching and you may walk like John wayne and be floppy like Mr Soft, but the next day you will feel great :-)

So until the next time, take care an have a great weekend :-)

HAPPY EASTER!!

Ahh, i love this time of the year. Lots of hugs and chocolate everywhere we go :-)

Since i last wrote a lot has happened, first of all i was whisked away to Paris for the weekend by my man (very beautiful and romantic) i definitely recommend it. 

Since then i have been trying to get back into my studies (very hard work when its just so dull and i have been shown the brighter side of life just across the waters!) I am getting there, i have set strong targets for myself which i won't be happy if i don't achieve them.

I have been teaching my usual UPPDC lessons, except last week as it was the first week of our University Easter break. I also taught the afternoon lesson on the Tuesday which i really enjoyed, the girls were so enthusiastic and determined, a  very positive lesson.

I will be doing the same this week on Tuesday as i enjoyed it so much last week, i hope it becomes a regular thing. I am also teaching a UPPDC lesson this Wednesday so that my club members keep up their strength over the break. They are also very passionate about dancing so i really get a buzz from teaching these girls, hopefully next year we will be entering university competitions, i know we will win by a milestone!!

I am taking the workshop at 12.15pm on April 5th, i will be focusing on flexibility. This will include back stretching and flexing, splits training and core mobility. I will be applying my knowledge i learnt in India, so if your looking to challenge your body then this class would be great for you. But if you do suffer from a bad back/hips, it probably wouldn't be a great idea to come along as you may find it a bit too straining on those areas.

I hope you are all having a great weekend, its a shame about the rubbish weather, but best make the most of all this free time!! I know i will :-)

Now i'm off to collect my chocolate, see you soon

Too excited for words!!!

Its been another wonderful couple of weeks with the Art of Dance. Last Friday was my joint Birthday party with the Art of Dance, it was so much fun to see everyone, especially everyone that performed. I was in awe at how well people have progressed since the last social last year. Its amazing, I'm so proud of everyone!!

Then on saturday i gave my sexy dance class, that went really well. I tried something different, i thought i would do some choreography which seemed to go down really good, i just wish my head was in better working order that day!!

I taught my usual class of UPPDC lessons this Wednesday, they are all getting along really well. Even the girls that only joined up this term, its wonderful to see what dedication can do, I'm really please for them all.

I then had an evening at reception for Jo's classes, which is always a pleasure. Also a huge thank you and hug to Sarah xx

I have just come back from the woman's fair today, wow! Sam and Jo certainly worked their little butts off. They had been pulling out poses solidly for the whole time i was there and 3 hours previously. Hats off to those girls!! xx

My step mother, Maria Ashurst, was also there with her Virgin Vie stall. It was great to see lots of people are booking private parties with them and inquiring about representing Virgin vie themselves. They had lots of beautiful and pampering products there.

I will be away from this evening until Sunday Night (the day of my birthday) as my amazing man is taking me away for a surprise weekend. I know nothing! He has told me what to pack and that we are leaving tonight! I'm so excited!!

I Just ran back from the door as my brother had sent me a huge bunch of flowers to my house as he lives in Hertfordshire. I do feel very lucky and princess like :-)

So I'm off now to beautify myself for the weekend. 

Take care and have a fantastic weekend xxx
