Meet Amaia, our vibrant pole teacher who discovered her passion just 5 years ago and hasn't looked back since. Originally from Spain and with a professional background in psychology, Amaia always had interest in physical dancing activities such as zumba, aerobics and contemporary dancing. At an early stage of her life she realised the positive effects of these in her mind and body. However, her love for body expression and movement, as well as embracing challenges led her to pole dancing here in Australia. As an encouraging and inspiring instructor, she is passionate in guiding beginner students on their pole journey. Amaia's true joy lies in creating beautifully simple yet mesmerizing routines, pole choreography and sharing her passion with others in the community.
