1- How long you practice pole dancing?

I have been pole dancing for 10 years but trained as a professional dancer for some years before.

2- Have you ever participated in any championship? What contest? How was your expectation? You will parcitipar some championship soon?

I have competed in many pole championships including Miss Pole Dance UK, UKPPC, Pole Theatre and I hold the title for PSUK Elite senior women champion 2014 & 2015. I am currently training to compete in the ISPF world pole sport championships in London and then to perform at Dance Filthy competition at the end of August; two very very different routines!!!

3- How is recognition of pole dancing as a sport in your country?

I feel pole is equally recognised as a sport, dance and art. I train all three styles and love each equally.

4- You teach classes or is only an athlete? If you teach classes, how do you feel about teaching people? I teach pole & aerial fitness classes at Bodybarre Studio's in Manchester. I love teaching!!

5- You teach courses such as workshops? If not, I would like to teach workshops? You would like to teach workshops internationally? if you already teaches workshops internationally how you feel? I have taught internationally in Rome, Italy for 6 months! It was an amazing to experience such a beautiful city and I am an honoured that it was pole that took me there.

My future plans are to keep pole dancing!! Everywhere and anywhere!!!
