I am the owner and founder of Knoxville Tennessee’s premier Pole Dance and boutique fitness studio in the heart of the Old City, Sheer Inspiration Pole Fitness. Pole Dance pioneer since 1999, my signature style of movement is rooted in my background as a stripper, which not only led me to witnessing, but participating in the evolution of the art and sport of Pole. It wasn’t solely the pure athleticism, but also the freedom of expression and confidence that pole dancing provided which would inspire me to dream of sharing this art with others. I have successfully directed and produced Pole and Aerial Performance Shows in Knoxville quarterly, since 2013. I am also an Ambassador and experienced competition judge for Pole Sport Organization and I have been educating people with my own curricula since 2007. Through my platform and art, I am dedicated to creating and maintaining safe, judgement-free spaces that are completely inclusive to all genders and races.
