Why are you considering entering Miss Pole Dance UK professional category this year?
This competition was just a dream of mine when I first started to pole. To be given the opportunity to perform at MPD where some of the world’s greats have competed really is a dream come true.

How long have you been training for Mpd??
I could say since the day I stared 3 years ago :D

What has been your biggest achievement to date in the pole world?
Opening JLN has been a huge achievement for me; I have been given the opportunity to inspire thousands of people to take up pole which has been the best journey of my life!

What do you hope to get from the championships this year?
The satisfaction of performing on the MPD stage will be immense!

Who is your pole Idol
The legendary Felix Cane the current World Pole Dance Champion www.worldpoledance.com

Where do you see yourself in one year! /five years
Hopefully life will be as exciting as it is at the moment, that will be enough.

Anything else you may like to add ?
When I first started pole it was to get fit and have fun, which I did, although I did find ‘myself’ when I started to perform. Listening to the music and dancing around the pole is like magic, I’m in a world of my own and it truly is the best place to be. Pole has given me strength from within not just physically and I’m on top of the world! Everyone should try it xx

Soleil to create and perform the comedy numbers for ‘Zumanity - Another Side of
Cirque du Soleil’, the adult cabaret they were creating in Las Vegas.

departure in August 2005 their numbers in ‘Zumanity’ were enjoyed by over half
a million people.
