Who We Are
Laila Petersen
Business Owner/Specialist Engineer/Pole & Fitness Instructor
Despite not having had any dancing, sporting, athletic or gymnastic background, I was eager to give it a try! This was not going to stop me from learning the art of pole dance! Even before my very first lesson way back in 2007, I knew that this sport would evolve into a passion of mine!
I trained as an instructor in 2008 and never looked back! I taught for 6 years and it has undoubtedly proven to be an absolutely rewarding experience! It is a terrific feeling observing my students achieve their goals.
My experience through learning has taught me that there is no right way to pole dance, but rather a safe way! It is important for me to help my students understand that they do not have to get a specific move right away, but instead to enjoy the process of learning!
Pole dancing has unquestionably made me more confident as a person in every aspect of my life and I see this in my student’s everyday as they learn and grow their skills. Forget what others think of you. Confidence is about what you think of yourself!
Everyone has a different learning journey, and it is important to remember that fitness isn’t about being better that someone else… It’s about being better than you used to be!
"Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try!"
Robyne Eastes
Pilates, Yoga & Pole & Pole Fitness Instructor
Pilates, Yoga & Pole & Pole Fitness Instructor Robyn started her pole dance journey in 2010 and was instantly hooked. She wanted to live at the studio. It was her happy place which filled her with passion for dance.
The attraction of this sport for Robyn is the challenge of wanting to achieve a move, a technique, a style or a routine and the absolute feeling of elation when you achieve it. She believes that Pole dance allows you to learn so much about yourself – your strengths, your limitations and your passions.
Robyn is also a Yoga, Pilates and Aerial Yoga instructor. She firmly believes in synergistic work to avoid injury and also to gain both strength and flexibility, so, combining the various disciplines compliment the strength of pole, the stretch of yoga and the control of Pilates which help one to remain fluid in dance!
Robyn has an international certification through ElevatED Pole instructors!
