Julia
I’m Julia. I’ve been doing pole since 2019 and I am mostly self taught. I’ve been dancing my whole life, I’ve tried different dance styles when I was a kid, always performed at every event in school and university. When I tried pole dance it was love at first touch. I’m also a nail artist and a witch. I prefer heavy music (although I listen to a lot of different genres) and my aesthetic is Goth. Dance is a huge part of my being as it is an outlet to my emotions and feelings. I want to spread love to pole dancing to as many people as it’s possible because this piece of metal changed my life. It gave me confidence, strength, purpose and supportive community.
Leigh
Leigh took her first pole class in 2012 and has been completely consumed by passion for the sport since. In 2015 she began training on her own and began teaching shortly after.
Leigh joined the CRNP site in it’s infancy and completed her first general CRNP certification in 2017. Always looking to increase her knowledge and improve as an instructor, Leigh has continued to acquire additional certifications and train with professional pole artists all over the world.
Although most focused on heels flow, spin pole and handstands, Leigh is committed to inclusivity! She believes that pole is for everyone regardless of body type, gender, age, personality or preferred style of movement. Leigh wants everyone to discover the joy of this incredible sport and art form and start celebrating what bodies can accomplish over judging their physical looks.
Leigh is so excited to be a part of the CRNP Westlake Village studio staff and can’t wait to dance with you!
