What is Polecology?
Polecology is pole dance + psychology, a marriage between my experience as a pole dancer and expertise in psychology. I began theorizing Polecology as a grad student in 2019.
In 2022 I began traveling all over the United States to work in collaboration with BIPOC artists and supportive pole studios to create space in the pole industry to support the artistry & mental health of pole dancers.
Dance is the physical expression of all that lies within - skill, muscle memory, mobility and flexibility as well as personality, mood, and feelings.
Training in skill development and technique give us a language to speak through our bodies. We then use our bodies to convey stories with every articulation of our fingers, every expansion through the chest, and every undulation of the hips. How does your body move? What story does your body tell?
Work with me and a collective of multifaceted artists across the United States to find your answer.
