Susan McGregor

Susan took her first pole class in 2018 thanks to a friend who begged her to just “give it a try”. Back then she had a bad case of the “Too”s. She thought she was too old, too out of shape, and too awkward to ever be a pole dancer. While she did struggle in that first class, it also lit a fire in her heart. She tells everyone who will listen that pole has changed her life for the better.
She decided in 2021 that she wanted to share the joy and self-love she gained through pole with others through teaching. She specializes in making pole accessible and meeting you where you are at. Pole is for all sizes, ages, and abilities!! She can't wait to help you start your journey!
