Aloha Polers and Pole Supporters!  It's Polefessional Saturday's and today's Polefessional is Michelle Stanek!

Michelle is not only a Polefessional but also an instructor and Xpert Xpole Master Trainer too!  We had the honor of working with her during our Xpert Xpole Training and saw hands on how great she was with not only performing but teaching and really making sure that everyone is on the same page.  She has such a great and motivating attitude which makes it easy for anyone to learn from her.  She has been dancing for many years now and is currently located in New York teaching classes at Body & Pole!  Michelle is a master at many things from pole to the booty pop;).  She has also taught classes at Crunch Fitness and is a member of AERA which is an aerial dance company consisting of pole and other aerial arts such as hoop, silks, etc.  We all love Michelle for many reasons but mostly because her performances motivate us to work harder cause we want to be like her LOL!  It's true!  Here are some of her accomplishments so far:

USPDF Pro Champion 2012
Pole Dance Universe Champion 2011
USPDF Amateur Champion 2011
PFA’s Pole Drama Champion 2010
