Instructor Bio: Trisha
Trisha was introduced to pole dancing in March of 2007 at Divine Movement. She fell in love with the art and pole dancing has now become a passion.
Trisha has a background in fitness, sports, and dancing, but pole dancing has been the most gratifying and inspirational dance she’s ever experienced.
“Dancing has not only been a beneficial workout for my body but for my mind as well. I am so grateful that I have found something that inspires confidence in me. I’d like to share what I’ve learned with other women who are searching for that inner mo jo”.
Instructor Bio: Jamie
Jamie was first introduced to pole dancing in 2007 while living overseas in Australia. “I was hesitant at first. My flat-mate and I were introduced to the owner of a local pole studio who calmed our nerves and showed us how fun and beautiful pole dancing can be!” Once back in her hometown of Seattle Jamie joined classes at Divine Movement, where her love of pole dancing has grown and deepened. Jamie is eager to share her passion for pole dancing, and to whirl and twirl you into a more confident, sensuous you.
Instructor Bio: Marnie
Marnie began pole dancing at Divine Movement in 2007. Classes allowed her to express herself with physical movement that was challenging and unique. Her background in teaching, counseling, tutoring and small business makes her a valuable addition to our team. Originally an East Coast gal with 5 brothers Marnie loves living in the Pacific Northwest and being girly. “Dancing releases my femininity and allows me to exercise and increase my flexibility. The most amazing part of dancing is getting into the ZONE – that place where the music and my body connect and the movement just happens. There is no direction or thought. I hope that through teaching I am able to bring the feeling of freedom and self acceptance I get to other women. Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes and enjoy where they take you.”
