Kellie began taking pole dancing lessons in 2004 while in her home state of Virginia, and after the very first class she was hooked. Studying primarily with a teacher whose professional dance background was ballet and ballroom, Kellie's pole dancing style grew to become beautifully controlled and graceful. Kellie moved to the Lake Tahoe area in the summer of 2007 and is thrilled to now be instructing others in this new fitness related form of dance. She can't wait to pass along her love of pole dancing to her students!
