Hi! I’m Melanie and I am a pole dancer. Dancing and teaching is a deep passion for me since I started in 2011. I started with a Groupon like most people and I was hooked from the first class. I was a soccer player all my life and pole was an entirely different field. It challenged me in ways that I never intended.
I’ve danced at plenty of studios and learned from many teachers throughout my pole life, and every single one I'm grateful for. I've learned in Virginia, Seattle, Orlando, and Los Angeles. It provided me growth, experience, and ability to find my style within me.
Performances on stage is what I live for.
Latest: You can find me teaching at Uplift Movement Awakening in Tustin, CA as well as PŌL.Dance in Los Angeles, CA.

Stage Performance:
The term I use for my sexy style is Sultry. It pulls you in deep into my enticement. I don’t just show you moves and tricks; I pull in musicality, showmanship, and love. It’s something amazing to watch and you won’t be able to take your eyes off with the combination of my dance and costume. In my stage performances, I know how to work a crowd and can keep the audience entertained. Pole is my prop of preference but I can also perform without a pole and give that same energy.

Pole Competitions:
My 1st pole style is dramatic. It allows me to dig deeper, providing a story, and leaving it all out on the stage. I’ve won a handful of competitions in this category and I have plenty more routines in my pole library.
My 2nd pole style is heels. I love exploring edgework and really emphasizing the heels along with my sultry style. Digging into the musicality.
