Gwendy, Owner/Instructor
I studied Ballet, Jazz, and Modern Dance since I was 4 years old and ever since I started, dance has been my only true passion. After my 1st Pole Dance class in 2008; I knew I was faced with a new form of movement and instantly loved it! Now, Pole Dancing is my new passion, my gym, and my escape. I changed internally through emotion and outwardly through my body. I feel confident and sexy everyday. And I’m so excited to bring this feeling to my students. Even after having my baby in 2012, I still feel this way. We’re all united through one thing; femininity. And pole dancing allows us to explore it completely.
Reina, Studio Manager/InstructorI was born and raised in Miami. and have always had a passion for dance! Since a young age I studied ballet, contemporary, jazz, and very heavy hip hop. I was always in dance programs and participated In a few companies. When I finished my studies in college some distractions pushed me away from dance. Thankfully, after some time I went to Pole Dance Miami to accompany someone and I never thought it would bring me to where I am today! It sparked an interest in me right away; especially when I noticed how challenging it was. I decided to give it a shot, and take it to the next level. It is the best decision I ever made. Pole dancing has opened up the door for me in so many ways. My body feels amazing and so does my confidence. And what I love the most is the strength that I have built. I’m completely in love with the pole!
Keisha, Instructor
At the age of four, I fell in love with dance and haven’t stopped moving since. In 2008, I received a BA from New World School of the Arts with highest honors. Since graduating, I’ve worked with local choreographers on project based events and festivals. I’ve always wanted to pole dance, and finally took the plunge and came to PDM. Just like the pivotal moment I had when I was four, I fell in love with pole. It has opened up so many new avenues of movement. And, I’ve never felt or looked better. I am…addicted to pole.
Sahara, Instructor
Born and raised in Miami Florida, I began my artistic journey at a local dance academy Ballet Et Cie. I attended South Miami Middle & High School’s Magnet Dance Program. I have had the opportunity to be lead and taught by prestigious dance companies in New York City such as, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Paul Taylor’s Dance Company, and Camp Broadway Dance Center. Currently, I am a part of New Century Dance Company, one of the most prestigious entertainment companies in the country. Initially, I started pole dancing as a new way to get fit and had no idea it would change my life completely. I have had the opportunity to combine my biggest passion, the art of dance; with the challenging, feminine, & empowering art of pole dancing.
