Lesley Jackson Pole Passion Master Class February 2015

Lesley Jackson is on tour!

Lesley Jackson aka 'Ley-poleguns' from Northern Pole Dance, started poling in 2010 and fell in love with it in the first 10 seconds!! She was over weight and found pole a great way to get fit. As she was no dancer or gymnast pole didn't come easy to her so the work she had to put in to get the moves didn't go unnoticed and was known as the sweaty girl that would not give up.
This hard work, combined with her active Facebook and Instagram accounts have made Ley a well-known instructor. She constantly strives to find the best way to break down moves and explain them to students.

Lesley is renowned for being a little crazy on the pole and is not scared to have a go at something new.

If you ever see Ley perform you are one of the lucky ones, as she has really big fear of performing and will openly admit she’s a teacher not an entertainer. Her teaching is reflected in her students.

Lesley has completed Pole Fitness teacher training with training leaders, Pole Passion, and is currently training as a trainer assessor with Pole Passion too and has trained with Spin City and is a 4 star PDC instructor.
She believes knowledge is power and we all need to keep learning.

Teaching techniques workshop
On Friday 27th Feb 2015 at Crawley Pole Fitness, Lesley will be running a workshop focusing on advanced teaching techniques. This workshop will address issues such as:

Effective and safe spotting
From the floor adaptations
Conditioning to prepare for the move
Teaching tips and common errors

10 mins will be made available for you to ask questions and trouble shoot moves.

Lucy Pole Charity Cup 2014 - Sunday 2nd November

All proceeds to Help the Heros and Mind, Oxfordshire
A great afternoon spent in Crawley just outside of Oxford at the Crawley Mill Industrial Estate. After weeks of hard labour, sweat and tears, the studio was ready.  I was joined by fellow judges Emma Haslam O’Toole this year’s Britain’s Got Talent pole sensation  and Mr Pole Fitness UK finalist, Ian Matthews.
Congratulations go to all the competitors for competing in the second Lucy Pole Cup but also for Lucy, launching her new pole venue.
Despite the cold and damp conditions outside, all the competitors competed brilliantly, with my best costume and makeup award going to the creative Halloween nightmare costume of Evelyn Minall

10 truths about being a Professional & Elite Pole Passion, Pole Fitness & Dance Instructor

 Elite Pole Passion, Pole Fitness & Dance Instructors

1. You will NEVER be 100% ready to teach – no one wakes up in the morning and says ‘im ready’.  Instructing is an on-going journey and learning process.
2. Practice makes perfect – If you want to grow out of your comfort zone then push yourself to your limits and beyond on a regular basis.
3. Sometimes you may be asked to dedicate your time and expertise for free. You have been asked for a reason – Just take a moment to think …..is the cause or experience gained worth it?
4. Some students and fellow instructors may not become your best friends – celebrate you have a professional and focused approach to teaching, over and above your social life.  You cannot be everything to all people.
5. You can’t change the past, BUT you can focus on improving in the future.
6. If you want to be the best – then prove you are the best- at Pole Passion we focus only on those dedicated instructors who give 100% to Pole Passion’s students and fellow Pole Passion instructors, unconditionally sharing and networking, working as a united team.
7. There is a lot that you don’t know – even our least favourite Pole Passion colleague or student will teach you something – The minute we think we know it all, is the time to move on and away from Pole Passion
8. Pole Passion Instructing is hard; we expect the very best, there maybe days that you feel like giving it all up! You are not alone and only the strongest survive – Congratulate yourself -  you are one of the Pole Passion Elite and the team is here to support you
9. Embrace your teaching skills with Passion, there’s a reason why we chose that name – Teaching is more than just a job
10. You can’t control everything that goes on around you – Do not worry about the things you can’t control – Focus only on the positive, the here and now and always keep an open and flexible approach and positive mental attitude
