This video got the music removed on YouTube so I’m posting it here with the music, since the routine was made to accompany the song. I get the copyright thing, don’t get me wrong, I am married to a musician after all. But, I must say I think in these cases the record company’s are doing themselves a disservice.  I can’t tell you how much music I’ve purchased BECAUSE I saw someone do a cool routine to it and thought it would be a great song to add to my pole dancing music list.  But whatever… there’s my rant.

Hi Everyone!

Here’s another clip from Vertical Pole Challenge.  I was honored to be invited back to judge two more episodes of the show taped in February.  They also showed us one of the completed shows and I have to say they’ve done a fabulous job!!  It is a very positive representation of Pole Fitness. I’m thrilled to get to be a part of it.

In the video I’m waving like a wild thing as I exit the limo… I couldn’t stop laughing at the (ahem) subtleness of the BLINDING LIME GREEN-NESS of it.  Notice Robert Gossett got the more refined black limo!

The whole experience was just a ton of fun!  There were some amazing performers.  It’s so exciting and inspiring for me to see what other studios and dancers are doing on the pole.   I came back and told my advanced class, “Okay, Ladies, it’s time to up our game!  Handsprings and Superman Drops are the order of the day!”  So we’ve started training and my class is doing AWESOME!

Thanks Vertical Pole Challenge!

If you’d like to attend a live taping of the show you can do so next month on April 24th. Go to Vertical Pole Challenge and get your tickets now!

XOXO,

Cindy

Hi Everybody!

Wow…  I really am terrible about posting regularly.  I do apologize!

LAST month… Kyla, one of my students, and I went to Las Vegas so she could compete in the new reality Pole Dancing tv show Verical Pole Challenge!  She did GREAT! (She’s in the sparkly red outfit!) I was so proud of her. Come on!  You knew it was only a matter of time before there would be a reality show based on Pole Dancing!  They really seem to be committed to doing a great show.  Keeping it non-sleazy and positive. I must say I was a wee bit skeptical before going to Vegas.  As a Pole Dance Instructor, I must say  it is very exciting to see something coming together to help promote Pole Fitness!!

We took some friends for moral support and made a weekend out of it.  After the competition, we went to the Britney Spears concert.  That was a trip for me, I must say.  It was really odd to be at a show that was all about the show–not the songs.  Being married to a musician that actually sings live has made me think everyone else does that too.  So it was a bit weird to see Britney not singing. Although, I must say there was plenty to watch and the audience didn’t seem to mind one bit! I think they played 3 songs without her even on stage… just showing videos on amazing projection screens. Unbelievable.  If David did that he wouldn’t ever need a day off when he’s on tour!

Feel free to browse around and see what’s been going onin my world lately.  I will update this site as often as possible… but TRUST me, my life can get crazy busy so no guarantees it will be daily or anything! I’m new to this blogging thing, and I’m a pretty private person (pole dancer or not!) so it’s very likely going to be a continual work in progress… All the best, Cindy

Pole Dancing Classes in Lake Tahoe, Reno

I am the owner of a Dance/Fitness Studio called Vertical Fitness in Incline Village (Lake Tahoe) where I teach Pole Dancing… my passion! I took a class a few years ago and was immediately hooked. It reminded me of when I was a little girl and would play on the bars at recess. You couldn’t get me off those things! So,  check out my Dance Studio in Lake Tahoe if you’re interested in alternative fitness classes.

In addition to Pole Dancing, Vertical Fitness offers classes in Belly Dancing, Sexy Stretch, and Salsacise!  Come try a class!  Or you can get a group of your friends together and have a Private Workshop or Party!

We believe in getting fit the fun way.  Our classes are all designed to take the “work”  out of working out.  Instead, we infuse creativity and play into our classes, allowing you to bring out your feminine side. It’s innovative and different. You’re going to love it!
