Leia Elliot
Welcome Leia, the new addition to our instructor staff. She has a background in dance, fitness and at this time is studying for her BSN in nursing. Her dance background started at 7 years old with ballet, a ton of jazz and of course tapping those toes in her favorite tap shoes.
“Once I put my first pair of tap shoes on I never wanted to take them off, I new those taps were meant for me,” Leia explains.
Her next step was fitness; she started in an all women’s gym teaching fitness classes at the age of 17. “This is were my love for helping other women feel good about themselves started, I always had body image issues and realized I wasn’t the only one. We need to feel confident in our own skin, learn how to enjoy our own curves and by having other positive women around us, anything is possible. All women are beautiful; one of my strengths is being able to see that inner beauty and in return hopefully helping our ladies realize how sexy they are too! Seeing other women feel good about themselves helps me feel good about myself.”
From that small gym in the Bay Area, Leia moved to Las Vegas and was introduced to pole fitness. “I started out as a lap dance instructor and realized how much I loved to teach and interact with other ladies wanting to do something healthy for themselves.” The sky was the limit after that, Leia moved on to teaching all levels of pole dancing, lap dance and along the way incorporating her fitness classes in too.
“I knew this was something I was meant to do, not only did I feel good about myself, I was helping other ladies find their inter Diva. We all need something to make us feel sexy, whether it is a new pair of stilettos, that black dress or the right pole dance to show off all our sexy curves. The gym is ok but the strength, flexibility and appeal I get from my pole classes, nothing compares!”
Las Vegas was over 5 years ago and since then Leia has taught all over the Bay Area and now that moved her skills up here to the Sacramento area. Dust off those stilettos, get ready to tone those curves and shake it up with Leia in one of her pole, lap or fitness classes.
