Ultimate Pole Champion:

Why would a girl with one arm want to pole dance?
Why not?

I’ve always been drawn to doing the hard thing.

I have always loved dancing but as a child and teen with low self esteem I believed that aesthetic and athletic pursuits were not for me, not for my “different” body… Luckily as an adult, I learned to challenge my assumptions.

My friends Susie Q and Missy encouraged me to try pole dancing way back when… Susie was convinced that I’d be able to do something and coaxed me to come into the studio to play. 18 months later, thanks to Missy’s unending support, I won an amateur pole dancing title. My entire world view changed.

Some things might seem difficult, but NOTHING is impossible.
