Instructor

Qualifications: Beginner Ecole de Pole

Meet Shakira!

After being 'gently nudged' into trying pole at Queens, I immediately fell in love - which then quickly became obsessed!

Pole has helped me build strength, confidence, and it's taught me that my body isn’t something to pick apart—it’s something to have fun with, be proud of, and occasionally throw upside down .

I am brand new to instructing and I'm so excited to share the thing that has had such a positive impact on my life and help others discover what makes pole so special! 

My goal is to create a space where you can let go of self-judgement, have fun, celebrate what your body can do, and hopefully fall in love with pole as much as I did.

With almost 3 years of pole experience, I am still discovering my own style, but when I dance, I love to have fun, sing along to the lyrics, play with movement, and bring a little cheekiness and sultriness into my routines.

I can’t wait to dance, learn, laugh, and grow with you all!
