Instructor
I started pole dancing at The Pole Studio South Africa in 2011. I was encouraged by my sister to “just come and try one class”. One class was enough to get me hooked! Since then I have been trained by Tracey Simmonds and fellow instructors, Karin Nicklin and Carmi Kruger. This ongoing privilege has inspired me and I became an accredited Pole instructor at the Pole Studio SA in 2013.

I am an accredited Pole Fitness Instructor at the Pole Studio South Africa. I have been training at the Pole Studio South Africa since 2010. In both 2012 and 2013 I competed in the Pole Fitness Association of South Africa Competition where I achieved bronze medals (3rd place) in the Silver Division. I have completed my two-year Diploma in Exercise Science at The Health and Fitness Professionals Academy which is an internationally accredited institution.
Instructor
My first pole dancing class was at the Pole Studio South Africa in 2014 and I haven’t stopped since. Subsequently, under the guidance and instruction of Tracey Simmonds, I have become an accredited instructor at the Pole Studio and have competed in the National Pole Sports Competition 2016, placing 2nd in my category. I was also privileged to be able to participate in Pole Unity 2015 taking part in an exciting group routine choreographed by Nadine Vermaak and Ingrid Lubbe.
