MEGAN BAKER
Certified EMA Instructor + Performer
As early as I can remember, I have loved hanging upside down. Whether it be my older brother swinging me around with my hands gripped to his wrists or hanging on monkey bars in the play ground. Or, if the imagination will allow it, maybe my past life was spent as a bat. So, its no mystery why I fell in love with the pole.
Aside from the physicality of pole, I also fell in love with something that changed my life from a deeply emotional and sensual place. There is something rebellious, fearless and, frankly, bad ass about pole that I instantly gravitated to.
Flash forward 3 years after my first class, I have completed an intensive training program at a competitive pole dance studio in Los Angeles where I trained for twenty hours per week, I have two certifications in pole teacher training including Pole Moves and Erotic Movement Arts™, and have dedicated all my life to this physical art form.
Teaching Pole has become one of my biggest passions in life. I can't think of another profession where I get to witness women tap into their sensual power and flip upside down in some out of this world pole trick all at the same time!

DANA GILLESPIE
Certified EMA Instructor and Creator of the Beloved Female Cycle Tracking App: MY MOONTIME.
This movement is Dana's happy place! She loves the space it allows individuals to deeply express and release what they are feeling through movement and breath - in a safe and nurturing environment.
"This movement really gave me - myself. There are so many profound experiences and deep realizations I have had from this movement, as well as a safe space for me to grow in and deep friendships I have made through this practice. It has been a space for me to really love and enjoy the totality of myself - even when the outside world doesn't appear or feel as nurturing. I have yet to find anywhere else in the world where I can feel this safe and nurtured while I express all of myself through movement. I crave to be in class often as possible as it feels so good within my whole body to move in this slow, feminine, flowy, fun, expressive manner."
