My first competition (as a baby poler)
I told some of my Portishead students that I’d find out the name of the song I used for my first pole competition
Whilst I was looking I found this. A baby poler, clearly struggling with an eating disorder (which was later solved thanks to pole), no regard for the judges angles at all! (Sorry judges!) but having the time of her life 😂💃🏼
Listen to my friends cheering on at the beginning 😂
And here we are 17 years later, multiple UK & world titles. A much healthier, wiser, older Bendy who teaches people across Bristol and Portishead (and the world!) how amazing pole dance is 🩷✨

We’re so lucky to have Blane Johnson at the studio ✨
Our students were absolutely loving her pole flow class last night, Blane also teaches beginners on Tuesdays & now you can catch her teaching Mixed Ability Daytime Pole classes on Tuesday lunchtimes
Come see why everyone loves her classes for yourself ✨

Fun fact…
Last year we were so inspired by Jo in the Low Flow Intensive (around 8 months postpartum)✨
And this year someone else was following in her footsteps
Women are incredible.
